The Bowen Technique is a gentle but highly effective remedial therapy. The treatment involves using a gentle and relaxing rolling technique over muscles, tendons, other soft tissues and important points. This gently activates the natural healing processes to rebalance and reset the natural equilibrium of the body and restore functional integrity.
It is non invasive (given through light clothing), there’s no contraindications that would prevent anyone being able to receive the therapy, It is ideal for anyone, even frail, elderly or ill people as no heavy pressure or pain is involved, but remarkable benefits are gained.
Bowen is a full body treatment which aims to rebalance the entire body, although specific procedures are used to address specific problems we always treat the whole body not just the main areas of concern. People often notice additional health benefits aside from the main problems treated.
Often three treatments at weekly intervals are sufficient to achieve lasting relief from even long standing pain or joint problems although further treatment may sometimes be required.
Combination Therapy : - I very often but not always combine Bowen with the energic balancing of reiki, to create a very powerful but gentle therapy which works on all levels of self.
The treatment is effective for :
- Muscular-skeletal disorders e.g sciatica, frozen shoulder, pain, neck and back probs.
- Sports and work related injuries
- Stress and tension based problems e.g. headaches, irritable bowel, anxiety
- Respiratory problems and allergies e.g. asthma, hay fever, sinus problems
- General relaxation and body balancing
- Lymphatic problems e.g. oedema, swelling
