We tend to find ways suitable for our bodies to restore it to the best possible state. Bowen Therapy is a sensitive and relaxing modality that is perfect for those who like gentle treatments. Each move addresses all parts of the body, not just one area where pain is located or felt. If you've not tried a treatment, message me.

There are several modalities that help address issues in our bodies. Recently I had some Kinesiology done and it was the right treatment for me at that time. Having Bowen Therapy treatment has also helped. Finding what's right for your body is worth investigating. Finding the right practitioner and modality is worth investigating. Talk to people about what treatments they've had and why it worked for them. And if you've not had a Bowen Therapy treatment before, consider having one.

A reminder how everything in our body is connected, and where an issue may stem from to top of the body that affects the end of the body.

✨"This is a great visual! Fascia is fascinating and it is connected from our tongue to our toes!

👉🏼There is no separation in the body, and one part always affects another part in some way.

👉🏼The tongue’s connection to the toes through myofascial structures, also called soft tissues.
👅➡️👣
👉🏼This helps us understand the whole body effects of tethered oral tissues
👅➡️👣
👉🏼The tongue doesn’t function in isolation or alone, these connections reveal the interdigitated movement system and need to address more than the mouth when babies have oral restrictions, Torticollis, postural asymmetries, tightly curled toes and more."

From a patient point of view, modern day medicine treats isolated areas often with medication making it difficult to remember that our body parts are connected. One area can affect another in another 'part' of our bodies. Bowen Therapy is designed to treat the body as a whole on the premise that where an injury or pain may be the cause can often be found further away. This ABC article caught my eye as it demonstrates the point.

When women pick out a sports bra they're probably not thinking of their knees, but surprising new research shows there's a link between breast support and serious knee injuries.

We are more than a physical body. We are driven by emotions and our cells are affected by our thoughts, physical experience and epigenetics. Epigenetics is the part of DNA that can be carried from one generation to another. Good news is, it's reversible. Make the most of your lifetime. Bowen Therapy is an appropriate holistic technique that treats the entire human.

This is what fascia looks like.

Once upon a time, fascia was severely underestimated.

Previously thought of as basically just packing material, protecting our more important structures, it's now known that fascia plays a vital role in movement, immune function, and is our largest bodily organ, with the greatest capacity for sensation.

The body can be a mysterious arrangement. We have muscles and bones (anatomy), yet how our anatomy operates physiologically (integrated behaviour and external environmental impacts) can create some mystery when treating clients.

Not all symptoms can be addressed in one session. The impact of our emotional and mental states impacts on our anatomy and physiology, as well as the length of time of the symptoms.

When experiencing discomfort, rest and hydration are the best immediate things to do placing the body in the best position to do what it is designed to do, heal and recover.

Bowen Therapy supports the body by working through the fascia, a thin membrane below the skin's surface attached to all the muscles and organs of the body. Gentle moves at points along the meridians of the body release tightness within the fascia, muscles and organs, giving the body opportunity to do its best in healing.

Listening to the Health Report with Norman Swan on ABC RN talking about how the benefits for social connection can have a significant positive impact on our health.

In addition, I'm reading a book about oak trees, The Oak Papers by James Canton, that notes that all trees live best in groves and forests. Like humans, and other animals, we're not meant to be living in isolation. This does not mean we can't live independently, but we do need people that we connect with in our daily lives for our wellbeing on many levels.

This is not an easy thing to do as we can be surrounded by the wrong people and our world is full of people disconnected from each other. Animals and nature help us to connect, but we also need our own kind, the human kind.

These 'inspirational' quotes are targeted to the individual for them to do something about whatever the subject is. In this case (presumed) to have a social network. The reality is that many people are not socially connected to people who they can rely on for support. It's common to hear people say they're 'busy', a word I find problematic and could write a whole post about what that now means.

Who could you reach out to and ask how they are in order to support someone's immune system? :)
