Bowen Therapy

Picture
What it is and how does it work?

Bowtech, the original Bowen Technique, is a gentle form of body work in which very subtle moves are performed over the muscles and connective tissue send messages deep into the body, retrieving cellular memory of a preferred, relaxed, balanced way of well being. Results can be remarkable, even from the first session; often only a few sessions are needed to correct the presenting problem.

There are frequent but very essential pauses throughout the session that allows the body time to respond and begin the healing process. The practitioner can target specific problem or address the body as a whole.

Unlike many other hands on therapies, the Bowen technique does not use forceful manipulation. A unique skill of the Bowen practitioner is tissue tension sense, meaning that the practitioners are able to discern stress build up in muscles and other soft tissue enabling them to perform specific Bowen moves to assist recovery.

The technique addresses not only the musculo-skeletal framework, but also the fascia, nerves and internal organs. The body's integrated response improves circulation and lymphatic drainage and aids in the assimilation of nutrients and elimination of toxins.

The Bowen Technique helps on all levels. Mr.Tom Bowen said that any or every condition could be addressed by this technique.

Can Bowen Technique help me?

The original Bowen Technique is extremely gentle and is considered appropriate for anyone from pregnant women to newborn babies, the frail and the elderly.

It can assist recovery from many conditions, from traumatic injury to chronic illness, depending upon each individual's capacity to heal. No adverse side effects have been reported.

The technique should be considered for:
  • Back pain and sciatica
  • Digestive and Bowel problems including IBS
  • Ear-ache, ear infections and Migraines
  • Low and high blood pressure, heart problems
  • Fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome
  • Cancer sustainance, Breast cysts, Mastitis
  • Knee, ankle and foot problems including fractures
  • Menstrual and hormonal irregularities
  • Neck/shoulder problems including frozen shoulder
  • Groin pain, pelvic tilt and uneven leg length
  • Respiratory problems, hay fever and allergies
  • Incontinence, bed-wetting
  • Infertility and ovarian cysts
  • RSI, carpal tunnel syndrome and tennis elbow
  • Sports and accident injuries
  • Autism, children with slow growth and dyslexia
Can I use other therapies?
A Bowen session initiates a cascade of beneficial changes that continue for several days. Applying other manipulative therapies during this time can interrupt this process and undermine the overall effectiveness of the Bowen work. It is therefore recommended that the client wait for a week before commencing any other manual therapy.
