Members,
Please share your experiences! Here's a little more about it:
Bowen is a dynamic, remedial body technique, that is extremely gentle and very relaxing. It empowers the body€™s own healing resources achieving balance and harmony, resulting in fast and lasting relief from pain and discomfort.
Bowen is an all embracing vibrational energy therapy, safe to use on anyone, newborns to the elderly, with any condition from sports injuries to chronic or organic complaints.
A treatment comprises sequences of small gentle moves, each at a specific site on the body. There is not forceful manipulation, just a light cross-fibre maneuvering of a muscle, tendon or ligament, pleasant to the recipient. However, fascia also plays an important role in this technique.
The precise location of the Bowen moves correlate markedly with the latest research into the meridian energy system, acu-points and myofascial trigger point therapy.
Observation also suggests the lymphatic system is greatly affected by this technique.
This gentle and effective modality brings substantial relief frequently after the first session, and generally clients only need two or three treatments, usually one week apart. Treatments can be done through clothing when preferred, as no oils are used. Treatment sessions can last from 10 to 50 minutes.
Bowen facilitates the balancing of a broad range of conditions. It can address any problem (with medical supervision where appropriate) as the treatment is holistic. Bowen produces an integrated body response, and consequently improves circulation, lymphatic and venous draining, assimilation of nutrients and elimination of toxins, joint mobility, posture, clearance of dysfunctional debris, normalisation of cellular physiology and tissue integrity.
