CONCUSSION
HOW CAN BOWEN THERAPY HELP?
Autonomic Nervous System rebalance is extremely important after a concussion. Bowen Therapy achieves it and besides increases blood and lymph flow, all-important in concussion recovery. Bowen Therapy embraces a rebalancing of the lower and upper body and neck and it is very important in the concussion recovery process. (The neck may have sustained a strong flexion or extension force, as in the case of whiplash injuries)
The TMJ, very likely, may also have been affected. Rebalancing the TMJ is important, as well as increasing blood supply and rebalancing the vestibular system after a concussion.
In cases of post concussion syndrome, Bowen Therapy can be very helpful in restarting a delayed healing process. Bowen Therapy initiate self-healing mechanism encouraging the body to remember how to heal and return to it's original blueprint and speeds up the healing in cases where the concussion would have resolved on it's own.
The number of sessions required to help resolve symptoms depends on how long it has been since the concussion. The sooner a concussion is addressed, generally the fewer the number of sessions required. The most optimal time to start Bowen Therapy is 24 - 48 hours after a concussion.
Acute concussions sustained within a few days to weeks will likely require 2 - 4 sessions.
Consider Bowen Therapy as complementary therapy for faster and better recovery
