The Bowen technique is a series of gentle moves over muscles and tendons that address the functioning of the body at many levels. Bowen is not only helpful with muscle and joint pain but also internal conditions. Here is a list of many conditions that Bowen can address:
- shoulder pain, frozen shoulder
- tennis/golf elbow, carpal tunnel syndrome, RSI
- migraines and other headaches
- postural problems, gait disorders
- foot & ankle problems (bunions, plantar fasciitis)
- knee, hip and pelvic problems (sciatica)
- fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome
- sports injuries
- asthma, bronchitis, hayfever, sinusitis, allergies
- digestive disorders (IBS, Chrohn's, constipation)
- bedwetting in children
- balance problems, tinnitus, earaches/infections
Bowen is appropriate for all ages and is so gentle that many people find it hard to believe that the results they achieve could occur with so little physical manipulation. Bowen is gentle enough for newborns or the very frail or elderly, as well as the highly trained athlete.
