Bowen therapy
Bowen Therapy is a non-invasive therapeutic bodywork system which employs cross-fiber muscle movements throughout the body. Clients lie on a treatment table and remain clothed as these "moves" are carried out over a period of about 45-60 minutes. Short waiting periods are incorporated into the session, allowing the brain time to assimilate, correlate and create a positive response, which is sent back to the area being treated. When these "moves" are placed in a precise manner across muscle and connective tissue, they create a deep sense of relaxation, relieving the pain and stress from a multitude of physical ailments. This response of the autonomic nervous system has been verified as extremely effective in a high percentage of clients in clinical testing.
What Can I Expect from Bowen Therapy?
A normal Bowen Therapy treatment starts with the client lying face down on a bed or massage table. Comfortable clothing is recommended and only the shoes need to be removed . The practitioner begins with a prescribed set of moves in the lower back and hips which immediately lead the body into a relaxed state. This primary stress release, and the relaxation that follows, allows oxygen to circulate more thoroughly throughout the system while releasing toxins and eliminating dysfunctional fluids. Tom Bowen developed a method of isolating the body's energy which is then concentrated and directed into specific muscle groups. Short waiting periods are incorporated between the moves to allow the brain time to assimilate, correlate and send a positive response to the area being worked with. Very often, stress release is so intense, the client falls asleep within the first five minutes.Between 20 -- 40 minutes, the Bowen practitioner works in precise areas following a categorical program up and down the body, instructing the client to turn face up about halfway through the treatment.
Because increased oxygen production and its circulatory movement is central to Bowen Therapy, the applications are numerous. No one is too young or old to receive the Bowen benefits and a wide range of symptoms experience positive effects within 1-3 treatments given 5-7 days apart.
