This is so true. Often the cause of pain can be from elsewhere in the body which is why the whole body is treated.

Pain's location isn't always pain's explanation.

Pain isn’t always the problem.

The sore spot isn’t always the source.

That’s why Bowen Therapy looks at the bigger picture — patterns of tension, compensation, and imbalance throughout the body.

Because lasting change may begin where you least expect it.

In moments of stress or panic, there’s a simple biological hack for calm: apply something cold under your arms or on your neck. The sudden drop in temperature activates the vagus nerve, which signals your body to slow your heart rate and relax.
This natural “reset button” triggers the parasympathetic nervous system, responsible for rest and recovery. Within seconds, breathing steadies, muscles loosen, and anxiety eases — without medication or side effects.
Cold exposure also releases norepinephrine, a neurotransmitter that sharpens focus and boosts mood. That’s why cold showers or ice baths have become powerful tools for mental resilience training.
Your body carries built-in mechanisms for peace — sometimes, all it takes is a little chill to find it.

When you’re in the middle of pain, it feels endless. The hardest thing to believe is that what you’re feeling won’t last forever. But it won’t.

The heaviness is temporary. Relief will come. Healing will come. Brighter days always return.

According to research published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, walking more than 7,000 steps a day is linked to a significantly lower risk of developing 13 different types of cancer, including breast, colon, liver, kidney, lung, bladder, and endometrial cancers.

According to Study Finds, participants wore activity trackers and were followed for six years. The study found that cancer risk began to drop around 5,000 steps daily, with a 16% reduction observed at 7,000 steps. Beyond 9,000 steps, the benefits plateaued.

Importantly, the protective effect held up even after adjusting for factors like BMI, smoking, and demographics. The researchers noted that step count mattered more than walking speed, meaning even light, casual walking contributed to the reduced risk

Bowen therapy is a holistic technique that works on the soft connective tissue ( fascia) of the body. It consists of a series of small moves at specific sites in the body. The treatment is usually performed over light clothing. Book treatments here: https://www.fresha.com/book-now/plymstock-reflexology-y3hibjej/all-offer?share=true&pId=201565

You don’t need to earn rest.

God designed your body for it. Today, give yourself permission to slow your pace. Put your phone in another room, make a simple meal, take a short walk, breathe 4 in and 6 out, read a few verses, close your eyes for ten minutes.

When you become quiet, stress hormones settle, digestion improves, and your heart has room to hear God.

Be still, even for a little while, and let your body and soul recover. 🙏
