How Bowen Therapy Can Help You
The Bowen Technique works by communicating with the nervous system through acupuncture points and the fascial network. It allows the body's self-healing mechanism to rebalance and heal itself. It is appropriate for everyone especially the elderly, children, pregnant women, and anyone who has pain that is affecting their lives. If you have tried other modalities and still obtained little or no relief, this is a method that may help. Many people have great results after just 1 session, and you will know if this is going to help after 3 treatments done about a week apart.

Tom Bowen, an Australian physical therapist, developed the Bowen Technique. He combined eastern and western healing modalities originally to help his wife who had asthma. The Bowen Technique communicates with the nervous system through a connective tissue layer called fascia and acupuncture meridians. As the body receives this information it begins to balance and heal itself. This method has been shown to relieve pain in all parts of the body, insomnia, digestive disorders, anxiety, colic, headaches, and allergies with about 3 sessions. For chronic diseases like Parkinsons, Raynauds and tourette's syndrome it is not a cure but seems to give the afflicted a better quality of life if done on a monthly basis. This modality is very different than what most people have experienced. During a treatment the client lies on a massage table fully clothed. The practitioner applies gentle pressure to specific points using a motion that rolls against tendons and ligaments. After a series of these moves there is a 2-minute rest while the body assimilates the information just given. The treatment continues with more moves in different places and more rests. Most people report an immediate feeling of intense relaxation and a release of muscular tension. The Bowen work is ideal for anyone who has tried many other techniques and still has pain. This includes children, the elderly and infirm. Many people have significant relief after just one session.
