Pain is complicated.

While pain can signal injury or dysfunction, it can also be a response to stress, memory, past trauma, or an overwhelmed nervous system.

Understanding this opens the door to new ways of supporting the body — not by forcing change, but by listening and responding with care.

Approaches like Bowen Therapy may create space for the nervous system to settle, so the body can do what it instinctively knows how to do: repair.

I’m back in the Clinic tomorrow, all rested from a great holiday.
Looking forward to catching up with all my lovely clients.

Thought I would share with you all about the best thing about Bowen, it’s your body’s ability to heal, Bowen just helps the body understand what work needs to be done.

The human body possesses a remarkable ability to heal itself.

Consider what happens when you get a cut. It's not the bandaid that does the healing—it's your body initiating a powerful, natural response.

Red blood cells work to produce collagen, which forms new tissue. The wound gradually fills, fresh skin forms, and the edges draw inward as the injury becomes smaller.

Astonishing, isn't it? And the best part—it all happens without you having to think about it.

I will be back in the Clinic on Monday 20 January 2025.

How often does this happen to you?

This is a great read about our posture, and what happens when we continually have our head tilted forward, especially when using screens for a long time in a session.

Anterior head position, also known as forward head posture or "tech neck," can lead to physical and health issues.

Some problems associated with anterior head position include:

Neck and Shoulder Pain 👤
The increased strain on the muscles and ligaments of the neck and shoulders can lead to chronic pain and discomfort.

Headaches 🤕
Forward head posture can cause tension headaches due to the increased stress on the neck muscles and nerves.

Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) problems 🫦
Tech-neck may cause pain or dysfunction in the jaw joints and muscles.

Reduced Range of Motion 🛑
Anterior head position can limit the range of motion in the neck, making it difficult to turn the head from side to side or look up and down comfortably.

Poor Posture 🧍‍♂
Forward head posture can be accompanied by rounded shoulders and a hunched upper back, contributing to overall poor posture.

Muscle Imbalances 💪🏻
The muscles in the neck and upper back may become imbalanced, with some muscles becoming overactive and tight while others become weak and lengthened.

Nerve Compression 🥊
Forward head posture can compress nerves in the neck, leading to symptoms such as tingling, numbness, or weakness in the arms and hands.

Breathing Difficulties 😮‍💨
In severe cases, anterior head position can restrict the ability of the chest to expand fully during breathing, potentially leading to respiratory issues.

Increased Risk of Injury 🤕
Misalignment of the head and neck can increase the risk of injury from activities such as falls or sudden movements.
.. and more!

Proper posture habits, ergonomic adjustments, and targeted exercises can help alleviate these problems and prevent further complications.

Therapies such as physical therapy, Bowen Therapy, or massage, may be beneficial in helping to correct posture and relieve associated symptoms.
