Healing Hands Bowen Therapy

A 2012 study from the International Journal of Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity found that, on average, people spend 64 hours a week sitting, 28 hours standing, and 11 hours lounging around regardless of whether or not they exercised 150 minutes a week.

That’s over nine hours of sitting a day.

Prolonged sitting invariably leads to slouching, and comes with a host of other problems that are typical of poor posture.

Here are 7 effects of sitting posture on your health.

As a rule of thumb, for every hour of sitting try standing for 10-15 mins.

If you’re a desk jockey at work, consider a standing desk instead. Getting on your feet works the valves in your leg veins, sending blood up to your heart.

Get moving!

Fascia is a sheath of stringy connective tissue that surrounds & provides support to every part of your body. Eg, muscles, tendons, joints, organs etc.
When it's healthy its flexible, when it tightens up it can cause pain & restriction.

TGIF: Thank Goodness it's Fascia

Bowen Therapy is all about releasing and restoring — just what Fridays are made for!

Just as fascia thrives on gentle movement and hydration, we too need renewal to stay open and adaptable.

Bowen Therapy offers space for softness and subtle shifts — not just in the body, but in how we move through life.

Because staying supple isn't just for muscles — it's a mindset.

Can’t get in to see your Bowen Therapist?

There are still simple, powerful ways to support your nervous system in the meantime.

Try these:

Breathe low and slow
•Long, gentle exhales help signal safety to your nervous system.

Get outside
•Fresh air, sunlight and nature help regulate your internal rhythms.

Move mindfully
•Gentle movement like stretching or walking can soothe tension.

Prioritise rest
•Quiet moments and naps aren’t lazy — they’re restorative.

Sip warm drinks
•Choose calming options like herbal tea to invite calm from within.

You’re not stuck — you’re supporting.
Small things make a big difference.

Your body doesn’t lie.

From skin to fascia, posture to hormones — it’s always giving us feedback.

Bowen Therapy encourages us to slow down, listen, and work with the body’s design.

Your Bowen Therapist’s hands do more than just touch — they listen, sense, and respond.

We use "keen tissue sense" to accurately sense the level of tension in the tissue being palpated or observed. This involves the ability to perceive changes in muscle tension, texture, and movement. Keen tissue sense allows us to assess the state of the body and tailor our approach accordingly.

Beyond the physical touch, we approach our work with empathy and a compassionate heart. We create a safe and supportive space for clients, acknowledging that emotional and physical well-being are interconnected. Our genuine care and presence contribute to the overall therapeutic experience.

Imagine your nervous system like a computer running background programs.

Stress, posture, and past experiences can create patterns that stay "on" even when you’re trying to relax.

That tight neck or achy back?

Sometimes it’s not just about the muscles — it can also be about how your nervous system has adapted over time.

Bowen Therapy works with the body in a way that invites change, offering a chance to reset and unwind (to the best of its ability).

Increased understanding of fascia—or the connective tissues in our bodies—is leading to greater awareness of the crucial role it plays.

The intervertebral discs of your spine lack a defined blood supply. They get their nutrition through what's called inbibition -- this is the movement of nutrients and fluids into your cells and body parts in the absence of a defined blood supply. Inbibition requires adequate movement. Disc herniation, degenerative disc disease, and nerve pain are all common symptoms of inadequate inbibition. Movement is life.
