What is Bowen?

/What is Bowen?

Our bodies have been designed with an inherent healing ability. However, sometimes these processes stall and the body becomes ‘stuck’, preventing the necessary healing from occurring.

The Bowen technique is a dynamic system of muscle and connective tissue therapy that was developed to help re-stimulate the body’s inherent healing process, often profoundly.

By working on muscles, connective tissue and the fascia of the body in specific locations, Bowen moves activate the nervous and endocrine system setting up vibrational patterns which bring the body back into balance and harmony.

Some of the reasons you may consider Bowen:

  • Injury; for example, muscle sprains or strains
  • Sports and other traumatic injuries
  • Digestive and bowel problems
  • Earache and TMJ syndrome
  • Migraines and other types of headaches
  • Hip, knee, ankle and foot problems
  • Menstrual and hormonal irregularities
  • Back pain and Sciatica
  • Groin pain, pelvic tilt and uneven leg length
  • Neck and shoulder problems (including ‘frozen shoulder’)
  • Fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome
  • Respiratory problem and hayfever

Some of the benefits from Bowen:

  • The Bowen technique is appropriate to use for individuals of all ages and in all degrees of health.
  • Lymphatic drainage can be activated through some Bowen procedures, stimulating the Immune system.
  • Detoxification is often initiated during a Bowen session, thereby improving the body’s ability to function at a cellular level.
