About Bowen Technique
The Bowen Technique is one of the most versatile and effective therapeutic treatments available today. Its ability to re-align and balance the body means it is effective for most conditions.
Treatment consists of a series of gentle moves on skin or through light clothing, with the client lying on a bed or treatment couch, although it is possible to be treated while seated.
A session usually lasts up to an hour and frequently results in a deep sense of relaxation, allowing the body to recharge and balance itself.
What is Bowen?
A treatment consisted of a series of gentle rolling moves with frequent pauses between moves giving the body time to benefit from each set. Practitioners treat the body as a whole or can target a specific problem, as they are able to pinpoint stress built up in muscle groups and then release it.
The Bowen Technique both balances and stimulates – the restorative process beginning once the body is relaxed. It’s referred to as ‘complementary’ – meaning it will enhance and complement other medical treatments. However, it should be noted that receiving other manipulative therapies immediately following a Bowen sessions can undermine the effectives of the Bowen work. It is better to wait a week before starting any other treatments.
The Bowen Technique is perhaps one of the single most important tools we have to help heal the body. The moves produce good results by penetrating to a deep cellular level – making use of the body’s own ability to heal itself. Moves begin to achieve holistic balance straight away, embracing the client’s physical and emotional aspects.
