Bowen
What is Bowen therapy?
Bowen Therapy is a holistic approach to pain relief and healing that has achieved remarkable results. It has been developed on the teaching by late Tom Bowen, who lived and practiced in Geelong, Victoria. He taught that the underlying cause of many musculoskeletal, neurological, neuromuscular and other health or pain could be found in the soft tissue or fascia.
Bowen Therapy, through specific soft tissue or fascial release techniques, stimulate specific receptors that enable the body itself to correct dysfunctions and restore homeostasis (balance) on a holistic level. Through treating the cause rather than the symptoms Bowen Therapy has consistently shown it can have relieving outcomes. The technique can treat a wide range of painful conditions, even where other modalities have shown little improvement. Bowen Therapy being an holistic approach treats the whole body and its holistic effects are apparent in patients who find resolution to problems above and beyond those for which they have sought treatment, For example lack of energy, stress or emotional issues.
What do you expect in a treatment?
A Bowen treatment should go for between 30 minutes to an hour depending on the treatment. During the treatment the practitioner may leave the room several times for up to a couple of minutes, This will help the body process the specific soft tissue moves and provide greater holistic result in restoring the body to normal function. The moves are normally gentle and less painful than other heavy handed techniques and are safe for babies and elderly.
