Recent research highlights the power of C-tactile (CT) optimal touch — a type of slow, gentle touch that activates specialised nerve fibres linked to relaxation, emotional well-being, and pain relief.

This aligns with the principles of Bowen Therapy, a gentle, hands-on approach that helps the body reset and repair.

Discover how Bowen Therapy harnesses the science of therapeutic touch to support pain relief and emotional well-being in our latest blog post.

It's all connected!

Nothing happens or heals in isolation.

As a holistic bodywork technique, Bowen Therapy recognises that your whole structure is connected.

Your sore ankle might be caused by pelvis dysfunction, or your knee pain might stem from your neck.

Your Bowen Therapist will work with your whole body to try to get to the source of your discomfort.

Studies have shown evidence that mobility improvements in the jaw can relieve tension in the pelvic area and vice versa. Additionally, if the hips or jaw is off balance, there is a good chance the other is too.

How could these two very different ends of the body be connected?

The connection begins during embryologic development at around day fifteen. In this stage, called gastrulation, two depressions form on the dorsal side of the embryo, which becomes the oropharyngeal membrane (goes on to form the mouth) and the cloacal membrane (goes on to form the openings of the urinary, reproductive and digestive tracts). The spine grows between them, and the two remain connected from their early beginnings as one being in the embryo.

The head and the tails are the cranium and the sacrum. The sacrum, located at the end of the spine in the pelvis, is important to the proper function of our spine and our ability to know where our body is in space, called proprioception.

Tensions and imbalances in the jaw can affect the membranes connecting the dura to the skull and affect where it is tethered below in the sacrum.

Uneven pressures and pulling in the sacral area can, in turn, affect the cranial attachments and lead to pain, dysfunction, and other symptoms on either end of the craniosacral system.

This uneven distribution can cause many symptoms across all body systems – from your cardiovascular to your neurologic, musculoskeletal, gut, and on.

Did you know? Your fascia can transmit signals more than three times faster than the nervous system.

Any changes or stimuli applied to the fascia, such as a Bowen move, tend to be communicated swiftly throughout the body.

This could explain why we tend to feel a quick response (or relief) after a Bowen move.

ETA: This claim stems from research by Robert Schleip and Mae Wan Ho, who have explored the role of fascia in sensory communication and its influence on movement and pain perception. Please note that the precise mechanisms and speed of fascia's signal transmission are still under study.

We use "keen tissue sense" to accurately sense the level of tension in the tissue being palpated or observed. This involves the ability to perceive changes in muscle tension, texture, and movement. Keen tissue sense allows us to assess the state of the body and tailor our approach accordingly.
