BOWEN THERAPY
Bowen therapy involves a gentle yet dynamic system of muscle and connective tissue moves, which balance the body and stimulate the body's energy flow. Bowen therapy restores the body's innate capacity for self healing. The gentle rolling moves affects the body's autonomic nervous system, creating homeostasis at the cellular level.
Bowen therapy moves send a subtle vibration to the body. The relaxation response that occurs is the ideal situation for healing to occur. The results tend to be permanent, reprogramming the body back to it's original blueprint. Usually very few treatments are needed to achieve optimal well being.
In a Bowen Therapy session, the patient lies on a bed, wearing loosely fitting clothing, and relaxes, while the therapist applies a specifically located series of gentle movements across the body. The movements are composed of a challenge to a body of muscles, tendons or nerves and a release of the tension vibrates through to the nerve within the area. The result is a balancing not only of the structural system, but also at the level of the individual?s overall well-being.
Addressing the body as a whole, in this way, Bowen Therapy treats beyond the presented symptoms and positively affects the physical, chemical, emotional and mental aspects of each person during the treatment and importantly for many days after. |
