Work
Bowen Technique allows the body to reset and heal itself through gentle moves on the skin. The gently rolling moves over connective tissue are light and can be performed on skin or through light clothing. There are important pauses throughout the treatment to give the body time to benefit from each set of moves. Bowen moves can address the body as a whole or target specific problems.
The Bowen Technique balances and stimulates energy flows, resulting in a deep sense of overall relaxation. The restorative process begins once the body is relaxed and continues as the body allows. Healing occurs by affecting the body's autonomic nervous system which creates homeostasis at the cellular level.
There is no vigorous manipulation in Bowen, just gentle moves to stimulate energy flows. Bowen can improve joint mobility, clear the body of debris, improve circulation, lymphatic and venous drainage, assimilating nutrients and eliminating toxins. Bowen facilitates and balances the body's energy to address physical, mental and emotional issues.
As a Bowen treatment resets the body to heal itself, it can be used from newborn infants through to the elderly. Bowen Technique is a powerful and dynamic tool for treating ailments and injuries for everyone. Effective as a remedial therapy, rehabilitation, for the chronically ill, disabled and can help in the improvement in some diseases.
