WHAT IS BOWEN THERAPY (& SCAR RELEASE THERAPY further down)
Bowen Therapy is fascial release. It is a naturally gentle and non-invasive treatment suitable for all the family. BOWEN TREATMENT
Treatment is gentle and relaxing, given over light clothing, and carried out at a relaxed, focused pace. Bowen enables the body to rebalance, reset and restore function through a series of gently-rolling connective-tissue moves. These moves are made by thumb and fingertips on precise points on the body. Holistic assessments are carried out at every session. We often find that the place of pain may not necessarily be the primary source of dysfunction. Most common simple ailments are generally resolved within a few treatments. Chronic (long term) conditions may take a little longer, dependent on each individual case. BOWEN HAS BEEN OBSERVED TO WITH:-
pain management
muscular and skeletal pain
sports injuries
nerve pain
fibromyalgia
hyper-mobility syndrome
chronic fatigue
headaches and migraines
asthma, allergies
hay fever
stress and tension
sleep problems
digestive issues
hormone imbalance
fertility
pregnancy
new borns
whiplash
ADDED BENEFITS OF TREATMENT are improved sleep quality, increased energy, improved concentration and focus, overall relaxation and a more positive outlook on life. ATHLETES & PERFORMING ARTISTS are discovering that regular Bowen treatment enhances performance and reduces the incidence of injury. When injury does occur, especially soft tissue damage, Bowen can bring rapid relief and a quick return to practice. WHAT IS FASCIA
Fascia is EVERYWHERE! Controlling everything, forming our body, keeping everything in place. Fascia is a highly resilient, responsive, opaque, connective tissue primarily made of collagen. The fascia is a body wide system which lies beneath the skin attaching, stabilising, enveloping and separating every muscle and organ. FASCIA & NERVOUS SYSTEM
The fascia and the nervous system are two separate entities but work together as an integrated whole. Bowen treatment, through gentle pressure on fascia, communicates to the nervous system that there is no longer any need for increased tension in that area. So, by influencing deeply held tensions in one part of the body, we begin to initiate a cascading effect of unraveling and releasing of tensions in other parts of the body and also in the mind.

Did you know? Un-resolving back pain can often be caused by abdominal scarring. If a client has back pain and has had abdominal surgery, I work with MSTR firstly. I can then see what residual tensions remain, and where necessary, proceed with Bowen fascial release. Notice: Bowen Therapy is not intended as a substitute for medical advice or treatment. If in doubt please seek medical advice from your Doctor.
