Feeling achy? Sun Coast Bowen may be the answer to retune your fascia!

Fascia is a connective tissue that surrounds muscles, organs, and other structures within the body. Dehydration can affect fascia just like any other tissue in the body.

Signs that your fascia might be dehydrated include:

Stiffness and Tightness
Dehydrated fascia can cause stiffness and tightness in muscles and tissues. This may manifest as decreased flexibility and range of motion.

Pain and Discomfort
Dehydration can lead to inflammation in the fascia, causing pain and discomfort. This may present as soreness or aching in the affected areas.

Decreased Elasticity
Healthy fascia has elasticity, allowing it to stretch and move with the body. Dehydration can reduce this elasticity, leading to feelings of stiffness and restriction.

Reduced Performance
Athletes and individuals who are physically active may notice a decrease in performance when their fascia is dehydrated. This can manifest as decreased strength, endurance, and coordination.

Poor Posture
Dehydrated fascia may contribute to poor posture due to tightness and imbalance in the muscles and connective tissues.

Increased Risk of Injury
Dehydrated fascia is more prone to injury, as it is less flexible and resilient. This can increase the risk of strains, sprains, and other musculoskeletal injuries.

Fatigue
Dehydration can lead to overall fatigue and lethargy, which may be accompanied by feelings of heaviness or weakness in the muscles.

Headaches
Fascial dehydration can also contribute to tension headaches, as tightness in the fascia of the head and neck can cause discomfort and pain.

These signs can also be indicative of other issues, so it's always a good idea to consult with your healthcare professional.

Remember to drink water, keep moving, and get regular bodywork (such as Bowen Therapy) to help support the health of your fascia and overall well-being..

Bowen therapy - the ultimate "chill pill."

WHAT IS BOWEN THERAPY?
Bowtech, the original Bowen Technique, is a gentle form of remedial muscle therapy that is gentle and relaxing. It is referred to as the ‘homeopathy of bodywork’. By working on muscles, the fascia and connective tissues; the body is able to achieve balance and harmony thus resulting in lasting relief from pain and discomfort. Bowen Therapy embodies a truly holistic approach to health care.

Where did it come from?

The Bowen Technique was developed in the 1950’s by the last Tom Bowen from Geelong, Australia.

Bowen became a celebrated therapist, regularly treating over 13,000 patients each year. In 1974, he invited Oswald Rentsch and his wife Elaine to study with him and document his procedures. Bowen authorized the Rentschs to teach his work. Honouring their promise to Bowen, they began to teach the technique in the 1986.

How does it work?

Unlike many other hands-on therapies, the Bowen Technique does not use forceful manipulation. A unique skill of the Bowen practitioners is ‘tissue tension’ sense, meaning that the practitioners are able to discern stress build up in muscles and other soft tissue enabling them to perform specific Bowen moves to assist recovery.

Treating a child with Bowen therapy
There are frequent but very essential pauses throughout a session that allows the body time to respond and begin the healing process. The practitioner can target a specific problem or address the body as a whole.

The technique addresses not only the musculo-skeletal framework, but also the fascia, nerves and internal organs. The body’s integrated response improves circulation and lymphatic drainage and aids in the assimilation of nutrients and elimination of toxins.

A note on all sweeteners - including the natural ones!

Yes, natural sweeteners are better than artificial, and even better than over dosing on refined sugars, unfortunately even natural sweeteners that have been extracted from their sugar molecules have their downside. Because the body is expecting a sugar to digest alongside the sweet taste, it causes the body to go into a sympathetic state which, of course, causes the adrenals to over work. If you notice after having a drink with a lot of sweeteners in it on an empty stomach, you’ll start to feel edgy and need to eat something to cut that edge, this is why. Done over time, this can cause chronic fatigue, thyroid dysfunction, and a host of other issues. The best solution to one’s sweet tooth is to find a balance wherein the taste buds are sensitized to find the natural sweetness in whole foods without having to supplement with so many sugars and sweeteners. Home grown vegetables will naturally have higher levels of natural sugars which will curb one’s appetite to overindulge in refined sugars. A lack of minerals and hydration will also drive our desire to indulge in refined sugars. Once this sensitization process is achieved, and you can taste the sugar of an almond, a cucumber, or any other vegetable, fruit will become a real treat again and refined sugars will disgust your senses. It is possible. You can do it. But you can’t cheat with sweeteners.

(However, if you do want a treat with a sweetener, couple it with some complex carbohydrates or fats to help your adrenals along.)

REFRESH
Reset. Rejoice
Time to breathe
Time to relax
Time to rewild

It’s a funny thing that we have become so hard wired for busyness- we celebrate that people are busy
We constantly ask “are you busy ? “
I know I often get asked this a lot with work - and I wonder if they think I’m good cause I’m busy ?
Does busy equate to being good at what you do ?
Does this define us ? Being busy all the time?

Yet I’d rather know if your happy
What lights you up ?
What was the best thing about your day

Even while on holidays I realised after a couple of days of doing nothing / no deadlines, no to do list. No places to be
There was a little stress s**t “I should be busy “, there was a little fear .. that craziness ..

then I stepped in and listened to my inner voice . Stop breathe , feel your feet on the earth relax. Enjoy. Do nothing ..

In the last 2 days I’ve read 2 books 😂
I’ve had a couple of naked swims, ridden my bike with no destination desired, watched the ocean endless waves and come home to bring this be-ing is divine

I dare you to play

Just for today find a moment to be -
See if you can stretch out that moment .
For a little longer .. see if you can relax your body a little deeper
A little longer ..
okay now that you got the hang of it see if you can listen a little dropper
Listening to what your body whispers as she drops the busyness..

surrender all the way in

The more we look down, the more we suffer from tech neck and dowager’s hump! This leads to more issues down the road if the habit isn’t change. For relief, give bowen therapy a try!

La tête pèse environ 5 kg.
Le cou supporte le poids de la tête qui, selon l'angle de l'inclinaison, augmente. Plus on regarde en bas, plus notre tête pèse. Selon le segment cervical qui prend le poids et le stress, le poids de la tête fluctue à moins de 5 kg, mais si vous le penchez en avant, il pèse de plus en plus. Quand il est plié à 60 degrés, il charge 22-27 kg sur les vertèbres cervicales inférieures et vers le bas dans le thoracique. En effet, toute la colonne vertébrale.
Qui plus est, la pléthore de soutien des tissus mous, des fascias, des muscles, des ligaments et des tendons devient tendue et fatiguée, ce qui accroît la tension sur les articulations et les disques. Si ce n'est pas maintenant, alors en bas de la piste, cela aura un impact sur le cou à mesure qu'il devient plus raide ainsi que sur la probabilité de créer des problèmes ailleurs.
Prenez soin de vous en utilisant des smartphones. Nous sommes totalement absorbés par ce qui se passe et nous ne vérifions pas notre position corporelle et ce que ce petit appareil peut nous faire avec le temps.
