Sandra Gustafson RN ND long time International Bowen Instructor; sharing science knowledge with/for YOU ✴️

In essence the Bowenwork practitioner is a facilitator, not a manipulator.

By applying the moves, the practitioner gives the body specific neurological signals to relax, and then steps back for a few minutes to allow the body to 'relax itself.'

Compared to many other bodywork techniques, Bowenwork initiates an internal response that stimulates restoration of the body's equilibrium, rather than an external approach of manipulating areas of tight muscle tension until it is released.

It's about your whole person ✨

"Your issues are in your tissues."

It’s a phrase you may have heard — and it holds a lot of truth.

Our bodies remember.

Stress, emotion, and even trauma can become stored in our muscles, fascia, and nervous system responses.

That’s why working with the body — gently and respectfully — can be such a powerful way to support emotional wellbeing.

Bowen Therapy isn’t just for physical complaints.

Many people find that during times of grief, anxiety, overwhelm or transition, Bowen offers a calm, grounded space to reconnect.

Because healing isn’t just about muscles.

It’s about the whole person. 💚

Ever wonder what’s happening beneath the surface when you move your neck?

This coloured X-ray shows the amazing flexibility of the cervical spine — a structure that supports your head, protects your spinal cord, and connects your brain to the rest of your body.

In Bowen Therapy, we pay close attention to this area.

Gentle moves in the neck region are designed to engage the body’s sensory systems and invite a response — often described as calming, centering, or subtly reorganising.

It’s all about working with the body, not against it.

Nearly 80% of participants in a national study reported reduced frequency or severity of migraines after receiving Bowen Therapy.

Migraines are more than just headaches—they often come with visual disturbances, nausea, sensitivity to light and sound, and can significantly affect day-to-day functioning. Triggers are wide-ranging: hormonal fluctuations, stress, nervous system dysregulation, sleep imbalance, and even posture or tension held in the neck and jaw.

Bowen Therapy offers a gentle, non-invasive approach that works with the nervous system, rather than against it. By helping the body shift into a parasympathetic state (“rest and repair”), Bowen can support:

• regulation of stress and tension
• better sleep and hormonal balance
• improved circulation and lymphatic flow
• reduction of muscular holding patterns, particularly in the neck, shoulders, and jaw

Unlike many interventions, Bowen doesn’t force change—it invites the body to reorganise and regulate itself from within.

For people living with chronic migraines, this shift in internal state can be profound.

Flip-flops are famously rough on the body and it's NOT just because they lack support. They encourage flexion of the toes (to hold the shoe to your foot) at a time in gait when you should be EXTENDING the toes. The result is compensation throughout the body, especially the neck.

Being a Bowen Therapist means trusting in the body’s inner intelligence — and walking alongside clients with care, curiosity, and respect.

It’s about listening deeply, noticing gently, and holding space for each person’s unique process. 💚
