Time for Bowen Therapy?
Here some ways in which Bowen Therapy may support us to become more aware of and address tension:
Gentle Touch and Awareness ๐๐ผโโ๏ธ
Bowen Therapy utilises gentle and precise movements on specific points of the body. The therapist's touch can serve as a catalyst for heightened body awareness, allowing us to tune into areas of tension.
Pauses and Reflection โธ๏ธ
Bowen Therapy incorporates deliberate pauses between moves. These pauses provide moments for reflection, encouraging us to notice sensations, tension, or changes occurring within our bodies.
Whole-Body Approach ๐งโโ๏ธ
Bowen Therapy views the body as an interconnected system. By addressing the body as a whole, rather than focusing solely on the site of pain or tension, we can gain a broader understanding of the factors contributing to tension.
Autonomic Nervous System Regulation ๐ฎโ๐จ
Bowen Therapy may influence the autonomic nervous system, which plays a role in our body's stress response. By promoting relaxation and balance, it helps us become attuned to the effects of stress and tension.
Muscle Tension Release ๐๐ป
Bowen Therapy targets specific muscles and connective tissues, helping to facilitate the release of tension and promoting improved muscle function. We may feel subtle shifts as tension dissipates.
Self-Reflection and Mind-Body Connection ๐ง
Bowen Therapy encourages us to be active participants in the healing process. By paying attention to how our bodies respond during and after sessions, we can develop a stronger mind-body connection and greater awareness of tension triggers.
Promotion of Relaxation ๐
The calming nature of Bowen Therapy sessions contributes to overall relaxation. In a relaxed state, we are more likely to notice tension, discomfort, or holding patterns that may have become habitual.
Personalised Approach ๐
Each Bowen Therapy session is tailored to your individual needs. This personalised approach fosters a sense of agency, empowering us to take an active role in our well-being and address tension in a way that suits you.
Preventive Perspective โ
Bowen Therapy is not only reactive but also preventive. By addressing minor tensions before they escalate, we can cultivate a proactive approach to our health and well-being.
Always seek personalised advice from your healthcare professional.
