DC Bowen Therapy Mudgee

DC Bowen Therapy Mudgee Bowen is a gentle soft tissue therapy that can help with pain and improve posture and mobility. It is practiced in over 25 countries around the world.

BOWEN THERAPY is a unique, gentle & effective method that allows the body to activate it's own healing ability. The Bowen method is a dynamic technique of muscle & connective tissue release that started a revolution in health care over 50 years ago. The amazing feature of Bowen Therapy is a series of precise, gentle & painless pressure moves that can be applied over clothing. The body's integrated response improves circulation, lymphatic drainage, aids in the assimilation of nutrients & elimination of toxins, joint mobility & posture. Bowen also balances the physical, mental & emotional planes. Bowen therapy is safe for everyone from pregnant women to newborns, the frail and the elderly. Treatment sessions can last from 30 to 50 minutes, depending on the range of conditions and age.

When I see new clients I get them to fill out a form.

When marking the areas of pain, it’s not meant to be a colouring-in exercise, but in reality, this can sometimes be the case.

Whether through ignoring pain for too long or seeking Bowen treatment through desperation when nothing else seems to be working, first time clients are often in an element of distress.

Most of the time I’m able to provide relief in that first treatment, but I always recommend a follow up treatment (or more) to get the best possible outcome.

Especially in the case of chronic or long term pain. These cases can take a bit longer.
Or in the case of aggravation through repetitive or physical work that can’t be avoided.

Most people understand this and are happy to have more than one treatment.

There’s never any pressure, I always let my clients decide how often they need to come.

Everybody recovers at different rates and people have different expectations as to how their bodies should feel.

You’re in charge, I’m just here to help. 😊

Do you need to believe in it ?

One of my new clients during the week was a retired farmer.

He’d all but given up on his chronic back problem and after a failed surgery years earlier he had some doubts that Bowen would be able to help.

“I’ve had people in the past tell me they can fix me in 15 minutes, but they couldn’t.” He mused.

I replied, “I’m not going to ‘fix’ it in one go, this looks like the result of 60 odd years of use, abuse and neglect.”

He laughed “You’re not wrong there.”

After his treatment which not only addressed his pelvis and lower back, but also his feet, he commented:

“Well that’s only about 1000 % better. I can say this is the best it’s felt in 20 years.”

It’s early days but I’m hopeful that he continues to experience relief in the days and weeks ahead.

Of course a follow up treatment is highly recommended.

Sometimes I’m asked by people “Do you need to believe in Bowen for it to work ?”
As if it’s some kind of placebo.

Yes it is a gentle physical therapy which sometimes challenges the belief that treatment needs to be invasive, heavy or uncomfortable for it to do anything.

However I tell people “no you don’t have to believe in it. You just need to be curious enough to make the appointment.”

Then perhaps a couple more to give it a fair chance. 😊

Some time back I treated a client for suspected tennis elbow.

On the 2nd treatment my assessments took me to an area of tissue just above the affected elbow near the bicep muscle.

The tense area was part of a full sleeve tattoo directly under a darker section of an animal’s nose. The affected area was about the size of a pea.

I treated the area with scar tissue release (MSTR).
She experienced strong responses (tingling and warmth) in her arm and affected elbow for over 10 minutes afterwards, after which most of the pain had dissipated. I decided to do no more for this treatment.

Some months later I am told that her elbow has been free of the severe pain since then.

Scar tissue comes in many shapes, sizes and forms. Burns, old muscle tears or injuries, cuts, scratches, surgeries and any pe*******on of the skin can cause scar tissue.

Not that all scars are troublesome or problematic.

But they can play a role in pain or musculoskeletal dysfunction at some point, even many years later as the body grows and changes shape, causing tensions on adhered tissue to change and perhaps refer pain to other areas.

MSTR is a valuable tool that I often incorporate into my treatments where appropriate. 😊

I’ve had to dig deep into the archives this week.

Clients I haven’t seen since 2017, 2018 and 2019 returned for treatment.

It’s always good to see old clients, particularly because it gives me the opportunity to showcase the new skills and techniques I have acquired since I last saw them.

As a therapist I never stop learning and evolving.

Although I can’t believe how fast those years have gone. Time flies when you’re having fun 😀

The navel (or belly button).

I had a client recently who had been unable to touch her navel for many years (about 40 years) without feeling nauseous and agitated.

After some assessments and corrections, in a few minutes she was able to do so without causing those symptoms.

I’ve seen her several times since and she marvels that it still feels “normal”.

The body is intelligent and complex and as a therapist I use the tools I’ve learnt in the way I see fit.

Not everything can be easily explained.

An aspiring lawn bowler was having difficulty.

During tuition it was noticed that she was unable to fully externally rotate (supinate) her bowling arm, meaning her hand was angled about 40 degrees to the left when the bowl left her right hand.

She (perhaps incorrectly) attributed this to a childhood finger injury.

A short treatment involving muscle testing and gentle corrections of the bones in the affected wrist and elbow allowed my client to immediately fully externally rotate her arm.
Her husband looked on in disbelief.

Sometimes it can be simple.

I’m looking forward to hearing how the bowling goes 😊

Jaw / TMJ issues can be distressing.

Neck / shoulder tension, teeth grinding, injury /trauma, recent dental / orthontic work and stress can all play a role.

However, TMJ issues are often not isolated to the jaw itself.

The jaw has connections with the upper body, pelvis, legs and feet via the myofascial system. A system of highly innervated connective tissue that holds us together like a system of strings and pulleys, or tent ropes.

Bowen addresses the whole body, not just the symptom.

I sometimes think I’d like to be a fly on the wall when people try to explain Bowen to others.

Because it is a bit different to other treatments due to its gentle nature. And the unique short pauses to allow the body time to respond to each individual procedure sets it apart from other therapies.

Men can tend to be a bit more colourful with their explanations when speaking among themselves. Especially when they’ve come from a “no pain no gain” attitude which many of us have been conditioned with.

A new male client was referred by his workmate from a local Coal mine who had experienced good results.

With hip pain that had been causing him grief for months, his workmate in the end told him “just make an appointment, if it doesn’t work I’ll pay for it.”

Pretty good insurance really !

My new client was very happy to leave without pain and eagerly made a follow up appointment.

And it was agreed that his co-workers money was safe.

So thanks for telling your friends about it, especially the blokes, who sometimes need a bit more convincing 😀🙏

One of my clients brought a pair of high heels along to her Bowen treatment in a bag.

She wears them occasionally for business meetings, but she was frustrated that one heel kept slipping out of the shoe when she walked in them.

She was curious as to whether I could do anything to address the problem.

I wasn’t really sure, but my treatment focused on her hip pain, working on pelvic and foot tension and balancing her pelvis.

At the end of the treatment I nervously watched as she put her high heels on to see if it helped.

After walking around with them she was satisfied that they felt even and the affected foot was no longer slipping in the shoe.

“That’s another thing you can put on your CV.” She joked.

An unusual measure of success, but you learn something every day 😀🙏
