A client recently asked me why I was performing a procedure on her feet, when she presented with lower back pain. 🙃🤓
Hopefully, this picture clarifies things. It shows one of the main myofascial (muscle and fascia, i.e. connective tissue) tracts in the body, the Superficial Back Line, or SBL. This tract connects the entire back surface, from the bottom of the foot, to the brow.
Each Bowen move, though gentle and performed at a superficial level of fascia, has referred reactions to other areas along this tract, including to the internal organs through stimulation of the skin, muscles and nerves.
So, in this case, doing Bowen moves on the feet helped to resolve tight hamstrings, which were associated with this clients' lower back pain.

Chandu has helped me to trust my intuition, when everything I had ever known was not to. Her professionalism and tremendous expertise have enabled me to open up to my true self and learn to find and trust my inner voice and take the necessary steps to become more authentic.
Chandu has been my mentor in my transition from Registered Nurse/Midwife to Bowen Therapist in my own business. I have benefited enormously from Chandu's unwavering support and expertise.

As a Bowen Therapist, it is very exciting to see research into fascia happening. I would love to attend the next one!!! 💥 One person who was there was Dr. Robert Schleip, the Director of Fascia Research at Ulm University in Germany and a world expert on fascia. According to Dr. Schleip, researchers have discovered a profound connection between our nervous system and the immune system. For example, chronic stress may make fascia stiffer, such as in "frozen shoulder" and may be the main driver in fibromyalgia.
Dr. Schleip is an enthusiastic supporter of Bowen Therapy, not only because it works with our fascia, but also because the pauzes following a set of moves are very helpful in moderating the stress response, respecting and integrating the treatment.
This explains why I have noticed that clients with fibromyalgia are being referred for Bowen treatment by their neurologists.

Reflecting more deeply about how Bowen works and especially how long it may take......⏳

When it comes to acute problems, Bowen Therapy can often work quickly and Bowen Therapist are increasingly found treating at sports events, even in preventing the long term consequences of concussion.

However, most of my clients' pain has been caused by events in the past.....a fall, or accident, simply bumping into something, or just by tension in an area from deep muscular contractions designed to protect the body (or save your life).
Over time, inflammation can increase the pain and lead to further adaptation, stiffness, and tissue compensation.

In these more common scenarios, Bowen Therapy facilitates the body's healing process by calibrating the nervous system.
By balancing the nervous system, all the body's systems are positively affected, e.g. blood flow and nutrition to the cells are enhanced, while inflammation decreases, gradually improving stiffness in the fascial system.

In summary, Bowen Therapy is holistic and involves re-calibrating the body and the brain, gradually creating more balance and alignment in our bodies. This is why the healing process sometimes takes the time it takes.

Hi, Marga here, will you help me support WIRES Blue Mountains?

This year, the Lemon Balm Clinic, where I work is raising funds for WIRES Blue Mountains, our local wildlife rescue organisation that works tirelessly to care for sick, injured, and orphaned native animals.

Living in the beautiful Blue Mountains, we are connected to the bush and its wildlife. Supporting WIRES is a way for us to give back and help protect the precious animals we share this home with.

We’ll be raising money for WIRES at our Open Day on Saturday 6 September, but if you’d like to contribute now, you can donate through our fundraiser page below

Every donation, big or small, makes a real difference to wildlife in need. Thank you for helping us support this incredible organisation.

I'm fundraising for WIRES so sick, injured and orphaned Australian native wildlife can be given a second chance of life in the wild.

Ready to apply the new moves at work today after a 3 day Advanced Bowen practitioner course in Sydney last week end. This workshop was part of a 2 year Diploma of Specialised Bowen Therapy course offered by The Bowen Therapy Academy of Australia. As well as regular workshops, the course includes many on-line study modules to complete. Over the next few weeks, I will be sharing some of the fascinating things I learned so far, including how Bowen is thought to work, relieve pain and heal the body.

Just like these flowers are taking their time to bloom right now, our bodies also need patience and gentle care to recover. 🍂
Your body remembers how to feel whole and Bowen Therapy encourages us to slow down, listen, and work with the body's design, not against it. Bowen Therapy offers gentle input - not to force change, but to invite.

Bowen is a gentle holistic bodywork that works via the body's fascia, or connective tissue to initiate a healing response in the body. It does this by rebalancing the body - relieving pain by creating space in the tissues, improving circulation, nerve function and lymphatic flow. Best of all.....it relaxes the nervous system to help you get out of high pain, high stress and will leave you feeling amazing.

The body works every second of every day to stay well and functioning at its best.
It perseveres, even when we don't feed it well, or pay attention to its pain and suffering.
Working with the body is of course more conducive to wellness than waging war against it and this is exactly where Bowen Therapy can help.
The small targeted moves of Bowen across muscles and connective tissue/fascia send signals to the nervous system and encourages the body to process, adjust and re-organise itself.........on all levels, physical, mental and emotional.

During autumn, we witness a breathtaking transformation in nature. 🍂🍁 This seasonal change serves as a powerful metaphor for the changes we can embrace in our own bodies, particularly when it comes to prioritising movement.
The body will adapt to what we do most....if we sit more, it will become better at sitting. If we move more, it will become better, stronger and more flexible.
Bowen Therapy supports and assists in this process, helping to unlock the body's natural ability to move freely, while also improving your overall wellbeing one gentle move at a time, as best as it can.
