Raynaud’s is a condition where the blood vessels in the fingers and toes react too strongly to cold or stress, causing them to narrow. This can lead to sudden colour changes (white, blue, then red), along with numbness, tingling, or pain. Episodes can last minutes to hours and can make everyday activities surprisingly uncomfortable.

February is Raynaud’s Awareness Month 💙
�If your hands know all too well what that sudden cold, numb feeling is like, you’re not alone.� Bowen may help ease some of the symptoms by supporting circulation, reducing stress in the body, and encouraging overall balance.
Small moves, big relief.

�Here’s to warmer hands and calmer days. ☀️
Do you suffer with Raynauds? Have you tried Bowen to help your symptoms?

Don't like the thought of removing your clothes?

Bowen Therapy can be done through light, loose clothing.

The gentle nature of Bowen Therapy means that direct skin contact is not always necessary for it to be effective.

We are trained to work with clients who are fully clothed, making it a comfortable and convenient option for those who prefer to remain dressed during the session.

Ankle or knee pain slowing you down? 👣🦵

Pain in the ankles or knees isn’t always just about the joint itself. Often, it’s linked to tension, imbalance, or compensation elsewhere in the body — and that’s where Bowen Therapy can help.

Bowen Therapy is a gentle, hands-on treatment that works with the body’s soft tissue and nervous system. Using light, precise moves, it encourages the body to relax, reset, and activate its own healing response.

✨ How Bowen Therapy may help ankle & knee pain:
• Reduces muscle tension around the joint
• Supports recovery from sprains and overuse injuries
• Improves movement, alignment, and mobility
• Addresses related areas like the hips, calves, and feet
• Gentle enough for acute or long-term pain

Rather than forcing the body, Bowen Therapy allows it the space to rebalance naturally — often leading to improved comfort and ease of movement.

If ankle or knee pain is affecting your daily life, Bowen Therapy could be a gentle, holistic option worth exploring 🌿

Bowen Therapy & Pregnancy 🤍

Pregnancy brings incredible changes — and sometimes discomfort too. Bowen Therapy is a gentle, non-invasive treatment that can help support your body during this special time.

Using soft, rolling movements, Bowen Therapy works with the nervous system to encourage relaxation, balance, and natural healing. Many pregnant women find it helpful for easing back, hip, pelvic, neck, and shoulder discomfort, as well as promoting better sleep and reducing stress.

Because Bowen Therapy is so gentle, it’s well suited to pregnancy and can be tailored to each stage for comfort and safety. It’s a nurturing way to support both body and mind as your body adapts to growing your baby.

Always seek a qualified practitioner experienced in pregnancy care and check with your healthcare provider before starting any complementary therapy.

Old stress can live in posture.

Unprocessed load can show up as tension.

The nervous system doesn’t forget — it adapts.

Bowen Therapy offers a pause — supporting awareness and change within the body’s existing patterns, as best it's able.

💆 Improve posture
💆 Improve sleep
💆 Boost mood

Osteoarthritis is now understood as a whole-joint condition — involving muscles, nerves, joint fluid, connective tissue, and movement patterns, not just cartilage.

That’s why current clinical guidelines increasingly emphasise non-surgical, conservative approaches — particularly movement-based and supportive care — as important early considerations.

Bowen Therapy takes a whole-body perspective, considering how joints are supported, coordinated, and loaded through the rest of the body, rather than focusing on a single joint in isolation.
