The Bowen Technique 

How does Bowen work?

The Bowen Technique is a subtle, non-invasive soft tissue therapy. It is effective for a wide range of conditions.  

The Bowen moves create a little disturbance in the soft tissue around muscle groups, ligaments and close to nerves.  

In regular short breaks Bowen creates a clear space to let your brain register these 'move messages' and focus on imbalances. 

This will in turn unleash your own healing potential.  Fine adjustments are initiated, which restore balance, relieve tensions and reduce pain.

The Bowen practitioner does not force anything on your body.  Bowen therapy 
helps you to heal yourself.  Sometimes this occurs quickly, sometimes slowly. 
Sometimes another area needs sorting out before dealing with the ‘real’ 
complaint.  The results are often remarkable.  Especially where it concerns      
back and shoulder pain.

Bowen and Asthma

  




AnkleProcedure

Whether your asthma is mild or severe Bowen can help to reduce the level of the attack    very quickly as well reducing the frequency of attacks and reliance on medication.

As Bowen is both very gentle and non-invasive, there is no danger in using it with asthma and other respiratory conditions. The many cases treated have shown often to produce results very quickly which last. 

Treatment usually does not need to be continuous, and often just a very few sessions        will change the situation for the sufferer. 


Bowen and Frozen Shoulders

Bowen Therapy's has been incredibly successful in treating Frozen Shoulder. A majority of Clients find immediate relief after the first session and generally only need up to    three more sessions to treat the condition permanently.

If you’re having:

  o                   Trouble lifting your arm above your head or 
  o              Difficulty reaching across your body or behind your back
  o                    Stiffness and pain in the shoulder that makes normal movement of the joint  
                impossible 
  o                    A shoulder that is completely rigid or frozen (hence the name of this condition) 
  o                    Intense pain in and around the joint
 
You may be suffering from early or full stages of a Frozen Shoulder and the specific Bowen moves will almost certainly help you.

Bowen and Pregnancy

Back pain during pregnancy is a common consequence of carrying your baby. Various discomforts may develop, especially in the last three months as your ligaments, muscles, tendons and joints all are taxed by the extra load they have to bear.

  o                    Lower Back Pain 
  o                   Groin / pubic pain
  o                   Coccyx / tail bone pain
  o                   Sciatica

Bowen Therapy is a gentle and effective way to address these kinds of pain.

Bowen and Babies

Babies often develop tummy cramps after feeding, and may have infrequent bowel movements.  They may have sinus congestion, runny noses and watery eyes.  Your baby  may just be generally unsettled and find it hard to fall asleep.

Bowen’s gentle and non-invasive moves can really help your baby with these problems.

Bowen and Stress

After Bowen treatment most people start to sleep more deeply.  Emotional strains become more manageable.  Agitation and depression are reduced and can disappear.

This is because Bowen Therapy is a great relaxer.  It stimulates our parasympathetic nervous system, which makes us breath more deeply, lowers our heart rate and  helps proper digestion and much more.  
       
Bowen in Sport

With regards to Sport, Bowen will help in three respects;

  o                  In the treatment of sports injuries
  o                  In reducing the risk of re-injury
  o                  In preventing injury 

Regular Bowen treatment can help sports people experience less injury.  It will reduce
severity of injury when it does occur and it can greatly reduce healing time.  

Bowen can enhance performance by increasing flexibility and balancing the body’s structure.  This applies to musicians as much as to sports people

Note:    Bowen Therapy treats the whole person, rather than specific conditions as such.
