BOWEN THERAPY
Bowen Therapy
is gentle, subtle and relaxing. It affects the body in ways that help
to relieve tension, reduce pain and initiate the healing process.
Bowen Therapy involves
a series of gentle moves on specific points of the body, which help to
restore normal function and balance. The better the body is balanced,
the more effective the processes of self-healing.
The moves break up any "gluing" of the fascia and allow re-hydration of the area. Fascia is a connective tssue found throughout the body - under the skin and surrounding every muscle, bone and organ.
By loosening the fascia, the muscles, tendons and ligaments can move
and function more easily, and the various organs and systems of the
body can move more effectively.
During a Bowen Therapy treatment there are frequent rest periods to give the body time to respond to each move and make the necessary adjustments.
The most frequent and immediate response to a Bowen
Therapy treatment is a deep sense of relaxation and well being.
Problems that have responded well to Bowen Therapy include back and neck
pain, knee and shoulder problems, respiratory conditions, hay fever and
headaches
A Bowen Therapy treatment will
take approx 45 minutes. Two or three treatments, at weekly intervals,
are often enough to bring lasting relief.
