WHAT IS BOWEN? WHAT CAN IT HELP WITH?
Bowen is a light non-invasive physical therapy which promotes a holistic, βwhole bodyβ approach to health, using light physical manipulation over key fascia points throughout the body. Bowen aims to correct any imbalances, alignment issues, improve joint mobility, relieve muscle tension, relieve pain, assists blood flow, lymphatic drainage, digestive healing and much more.
Fascia is the spiderweb like connective tissue that connects everything throughout the body, the muscles, joints, bones, organs, the vascular system, digestive system, lymphatic system, and the central nervous system. Light manipulation of the fascia, at key points, on specific muscles, tendons, and ligaments, enhances the bodyβs natural healing ability; helping to improve many aliments of the physical, emotional, and spiritual body.
Most people/animals respond well after just a few treatments. You generally require far fewer treatments to achieve noticeable improvement with this form of therapy. Although Bowen is gentle in its application it has powerful deep-working effects; its use with debilitating and degenerative conditions can be quite profound.
Bowen is used on a multitude of ailments including, but not limited to, muscular and spinal complaints, as well as visceral conditions.
