Bowen therapy is known for its gentle approach, using light pressure and minimal intervention.
It's based on the principle that the body has the innate ability to heal itself, and the therapist's role is to facilitate this process.
The technique involves a sequence of specific "moves" (rolling or gliding motions) over key points on the body, interspersed with pauses that allow the body time to respond and integrate the changes.
Bowen therapy aims to restore balance and harmony to the entire body, rather than focusing solely on specific symptoms or areas.
The Bowen technique was developed by Australian therapist Tom Bowen
The Bowen moves are believed to stimulate the nervous system, potentially helping to shift the body from a "fight-or-flight" (sympathetic) state to a "rest-and-digest" (parasympathetic) state.
The gentle moves are thought to help release tension and restrictions in the muscles, fascia (connective tissue), and other tissues, allowing for improved movement and function.
Bowen therapy can also stimulate circulation and lymphatic flow, which can help remove toxins and waste products from the body.
By addressing the nervous system and tissues, Bowen therapy aims to restore balance and harmony to the body's systems.
