When us Bowen practitioners explain Bowen to non-Bowen people we are usually met with a very confused face! 😵💫
They have been used to being prodded, poked, stretched and snapped by practitioners of other forms of pain relief. So when we explain that the Bowen technique is a more gentle approach where the practitioner gently touches you they're in disbelief! 🤯
The Bowen Technique is a holistic, non-invasive therapy that is applied to specific areas of the body.
Therapists create rolling-type moves over the skin, using the thumbs and fingers. The moves are designed to disturb the underlying tendons, fascia, muscle and organs. Between each set of moves, the therapist will leave the room. These 'breaks' provide an opportunity for 'interoception' to take place, which is essentially a conversation between the body and brain via the nervous systems.
Have you ever tried Bowen?
