Gentle Touch Bodywork Techniques Make Powerful Support for the Body

Did you know that gentle bodywork can support the body and have a powerful effect on how it heals?
Therapies such as Spinal Touch, Reiki, Reflexology & Bowen help the body move out of fight or flight and into the parasympathetic nervous system, the state where the body can rest, digest and repair.
When the nervous system feels safe, the body can begin to reorganise and support its own natural healing processes.

By the end of January, many people feel flat, unmotivated, or emotionally drained, even if they started the year with good intentions. January can be a surprisingly heavy month. Counselling offers a supportive space to pause, reflect, and make sense of what’s coming up, without judgement or pressure to “fix” anything.
If this month has felt harder than expected, you’re not alone 💚

Hi :)

I’ve just returned from a really valuable Bowen Technique training weekend in Bristol as part of my ongoing professional development.
Bowen is a gentle, nervous-system-led bodywork approach that supports the body to reset, rebalance, and find ease in its own time. I’m really enjoying deepening my understanding of this subtle work as my training continues, with qualification expected in June 2026.

You can read a little more about this training on my blog here: 👉https://invest-in-you.co.uk/bowen-technique-training-continuing-professional-development/

What changed after 5 sessions of Spinal Touch?

Here I share a short case study update from a Spinal Touch case study working with Fibromyalgia & Bursitis. It shows the practical & visible changes that took place over five gentle Spinal Touch sessions. The case study, uses clear markers so it’s easy to see the difference:

https://invest-in-you.co.uk/what-changed-after-5-sessions-of-spinal-touch/

Living with fibromyalgia and hip bursitis can affect far more than pain. It can impact posture, movement, energy, confidence, and independence.

By Session 5, this client had:
✔️ Reduced pain and 50 % reduced pain medication use
✔️ Improved posture and balance
✔️ Had more energy and better sleep
✔️ Arrived without her walking stick

This Spinal Touch work is gentle and non-forceful, supporting the body to realign itself at its own pace.

Feeling incredibly grateful today after receiving a glowing 5-star review for my Spinal Touch and Access Bars sessions!

It’s always an honour to support someone on their healing journey, and feedback like this reminds me why I love what I do. Thank you :)

I have seen Vivienne recently for spinal touch therapy, trigger point release therapy and access bars therapy too. I have been amazed at the results of both therapies and am continuing them both.
I have chondromalacia patella in one knee and suffer with pain in my knee, leg, hip and lower back, on that side. I have now been able to reduce my pain medication and at times haven’t had any at all.
My hip has felt more realigned and the muscle in my leg isn’t so tight. The energies felt through the spinal touch was wonderful.

I had the access bars treatment as I suffer with overwhelm and a very busy head. The treatment itself was wonderful and I went to sleep. I had a huge release a couple of days later. Since, I have been able to compartmentalise things going around my head, felt calm and able to relax more.

Vivienne has a calm, warm personality and has a beautiful treatment room and a very comfy couch, which is warmed and you are covered in a cosy blanket.

Time is precious, as is money, and this has been the best thing I have done for myself!
If you are unsure, I recommend Vivienne and her treatments 100%

If you’re in a lot of pain, gentle treatment like Spinal Touch can make all the difference. This approach uses no force, no sudden movements, and no crunching, making it ideal for people who are highly sensitive or living with conditions such as fibromyalgia.

By combining these gentle techniques with trigger point release, it can help ease common discomfort like, back, shoulder, hip, and knee pain. Many people find it a soothing way to reduce tension, calm irritated areas, and begin moving more comfortably again.

A kinder approach to care can often be the most effective one.
