Bowen Therapy Myths

Myth #2: You need multiple sessions to see results.

Some clients feel significant relief after just one session, while others might need a series of treatments for the best results. The number of sessions varies based on individual needs and the condition being treated. Bowen Therapy stimulates the body's natural healing mechanisms, which continue to work between sessions.

Bowen Therapy Myths

Myth #1: Bowen Therapy is just another form of massage.

Many people think Bowen Therapy is the same as a massage, but they're quite different. Unlike massage, which involves kneading muscles, Bowen Therapy uses gentle rolling movements over specific points on the body. These movements, with breaks in between, stimulate the nervous system and fascia, promoting self-healing and balance.

I can highly recommend this lovely lady for oncology massage.

Welcome to a brand new year! For some the year ahead may be filled with uncertainty, hospital visits and an assault on their bodies with ill-health and medication. It has been on my heart for the past few years to provide massage for those suffering with cancer or other fragile health conditions. I have now finally completed my Oncology Massage Training (OM2) and able to offer this valuable service to those in any stage of their illness. Oncology massage is a beautiful nurturing, gentle massage that brings you in to a place of rest. It helps with the side effects of treatments in so many ways; including pain, sleeplessness, depression, boosts immune system and improves well being. $80 for 60minutes of blissful rest. If you know someone who can benefit please let them know, or you can gift them a voucher. Pamper Room is right here in Sandford.

Hello wonderful community! Kathy here, and I'm overjoyed to share two incredible stories from clients who've experienced the transformative power of Bowen Therapy. I thank them for generously sharing a little bit of their back ground with you. To keep it real, I've also added a third feedback. 🌟💆‍♂️💆‍♀️

Client 1: A remarkable eighteen-year-old who faced the challenge of two shoulder dislocations within fourteen hours. For the past two years he's experienced restricted shoulder movement and chronic pain. After one basic Bowen treatment, he shared "It helped my constant pain in my shoulders and back. I have less shoulder pain and increased mobility in my shoulders and neck. Thanks to Kathy's Bowen treatment, I've regained a sense of freedom in movement that has been missing for the past two years!" 🙌

Client 2: An incredibly resilient woman navigating not just arthritis in feet, knees and hips but also PTSD, severe depressive disorder, acute anxiety, with acute startle reflex and ongoing sleep deprivation. She had her first basic Bowen Treatment with me and shared, "I fell asleep on the couch at 5.30 pm the night after my treatment (unheard of!) and had a great night's sleep. My body feels great! In the following days I was moving around much easier and I felt energized; so much so, I swam more laps of the pool than I have in a long time! I managed to accomplish tasks throughout the day without feeling fatigued. I think Bowen Therapy is wonderful!" 🌈

Client 3: 78 year old male, with chronic upper back and neck tightness. "I feel really relaxed,"....and yes indeed, he fell asleep with sound effects and all 😴... "and a bit looser in my back and neck, but I like your massages the best! Perhaps that's because I'm used to massage." While Bowen also helped his upper back and neck, it's ok to prefer something else. Each of us faces unique challenges in our bodies, and the way our bodies respond vary. You know your body better than anyone else, so ultimately the best decision is your decision.

I'm honoured to be a part of these healing journeys, whether it's massage or Bowen. If you're curious about Bowen Therapy or would like to make an appointment for Bowen or massage, feel free to reach out. Wishing you all wellness and joy! 💖✨

Curious about what Bowen Therapy is and what it can do for you? 🤔

Bowen Therapy is a gentle and non-invasive form of bodywork that aims to help your body reset and repair itself. It involves a series of precise, yet subtle, movements on specific points of the body. No need for oils or lotions.

Here's what you can expect from my basic Bowen Therapy treatments:
✨ Deep relaxation: The gentle touch and rolling movements often lead to a profound sense of relaxation and stress relief.
💫 Improved mobility: Many clients experience increased range of motion and reduced muscle tension.
🩺 Support for various conditions: Bowen Therapy has been known to assist with acute and chronic back and neck pain, sciatica, cramping, anxiety, fibromyalgia, asthma, chronic fatigue, and more.
🕊️ Holistic approach: It considers your body as a whole, addressing not just muscular skelatel systems but also the respiratory system, nervous system, endomcine system, digestive and circulatory systems.

Remember, I'm still learning and refining my skills in Bowen Therapy (it takes about 12 months), so these treatments are a great opportunity to experience its benefits at a basic level. And as always, I'm here to answer any questions you may have.

Looking forward to helping you find balance, wellness, and relaxation through this incredible modality! 🌿💆‍♂️💆‍♀️

Hi everyone, it's Kathy here! 👋

I wanted to share a quick update with you all. As some of you may know, COVID recently caught me, which, let me tell you, was no picnic. 🦠

To add a bit more challenge to the mix, I was dealing with an old hand injury at the same time. But here's the great news: I'm on the mend and feeling stronger every day! 💪

I'm excited to announce that I am officially offering Bowen Therapy treatments now. While it's a basic treatment, it is surprisingly powerful. Learning Bowen will take about 12 months, it's all about continuing to improve and expand the services I can offer to help you feel your best.

Thank you all for your support and patience during this time. I'm looking forward to seeing you soon and helping you with your wellness journey. Stay tuned for more updates and information about my Bowen Therapy services. 💆‍♀️💫

Curious about the origins of Bowen Therapy? 🤔

Bowen Therapy was developed in Geelong, Victoria, in the 1950s by Thomas Bowen. He pioneered this unique technique, initially helping his neighbors alleviate pain. Word quickly spread about the remarkable results, and what started as a neighborly endeavor grew into a full-fledged practice. Thomas Bowen's innate gift for healing and profound understanding of the body's fascia and muscles laid the foundation for what we now recognise as Bowen Therapy.

Today, I'm proud to incorporate Bowen techniques into my practice to provide my clients with relief from pain, release long-held tension, and promote relaxation. If you're eager to experience the benefits of Bowen Therapy, please don't hesitate to get in touch. 🌿💆‍♂️

Bowen Therapy is all about stimulating fascia and nerve receptors, helping the body release long-held tension and find its natural balance. It's incredibly gentle and suitable for all ages.

Hi there, it's Kathy from Geilston Bay! I'm not your average massage therapist - my client's tell me I'm the go-to guru for relieving back pain, soothing sore muscles and making relaxation an art form. With over two decades of admin experience, I know a thing or two about beating the upper back and shoulder tightness. Drawing from my own experience with various injuries, I've honed the skills to help you feel your absolute best. Plus, I've got a mean ankle rehab game 💪
