Introducing Bowen Therapy

By GAYLE WHITTAKER

In Pain? Try ‘rolling’ it away with Bowen Therapy. Do you suffer from aches and pains? Back ache; frozen shoulder, neck restriction, tennis elbow; sore knees, Plantar Fasciitis; trigger finger or headaches?

Have you considered trying Bowen Therapy?

The answer is probably ‘no’ because most people have never heard of it.

What is Bowen Therapy?

Bowen Therapy - also known as The Bowen Technique - is a gentle remedial therapy that’s applied to particular areas of the body using rolling type moves in a specific order.

The moves work on the fascia, the layer of connective tissue under our skin which connects to our muscles, bones, tendons, ligaments and organs. The result is that aches, pains and the symptoms of many conditions we live with can melt away.

However, the effect of the Bowen move goes beyond the physical structure of our bodies. Bowen can also help to calm and balance our nervous systems, our breathing and our hormones amongst other things.

That’s why, in the days after a Bowen Therapy treatment, you might not only see a reduction in aches and pains, but you might also find that you’re calmer, feel less stressed, are sleeping better and generally feel back on top of things.

Bowen moves are tiny, very gentle rolls made with my fingers and thumbs. But don’t be fooled! The moves may be tiny but they can have a huge impact.

Time after time my clients are blown away by the effects of Bowen Therapy and ask how such a gentle therapy can have such amazing results. The answer is simpleBowen works on the basis that our bodies know how they should be functioning and how they should be aligned. The Bowen treatment enables the brain to review each area of the body as I work on it, and begin realignment so it can return to its natural state and function more effectively.

Bowen is ideal for anyone with aches and pains but it is also great for sports players, gym goers, runners etc, helping to keep the body aligned so you can perform your sport at your best.
