The Benefits Of Bowen Therapy

Many of us are plagued with multiple health issues, ranging from physical to the mental and emotional. Finding a treatment that would help address all these issues at once seems next to impossible, however Bowen therapy could be the answer!

What is Bowen Therapy?

Bowen therapy is an holistic method that comprises many different rolling moves carried out at various pressures, directions, and speeds on the body. Those body areas could lie anywhere between your head and toes. The technique targets the fascia, or the soft connecting tissues.

These areas are targeted because they are in a frozen state. Resetting various types of nerve receptors and endings that control your movement, muscle tension and balance is the key. Unlike a traditional massage, which employs muscle-moving kneading and pressure, the ‘releases’ involved in the Bowen technique are courtesy a pressure the body does not resist, and hence the natural defence mechanism is not provoked.

Benefits of Bowen Therapy

Bowen therapy initiates your body’s healing response from within. The movements intercede with the signals of your brain to help the body let go the stress, tension, and emotional burden, along with restoring your original posture to the blueprint alignment your brain has stored innately. Basically, the technique helps the body do its work. The therapist offers you a message via the moves…your body does the rest.

Besides back and neck pain, your body’s alignment, and migraines, Bowen helps treat problems in your digestive and respiratory systems, joints, etc. It also tackles issues relating to fertility, anxiety and stress. The list is exhaustive. You name a disorder and Bowen would not just treat the symptoms but also the causes.

Things to Expect

Each Bowen therapy appointment has a format. As soon as you enter the treatment space, the Bowen therapist would ask you about your present state of mind and current health and whether there are any apparent pains and aches you’d like to address. If you have any major issues, those would be taken into consideration too. From how you naturally stand to how your jaw moves, the therapist would visually look into problems that you may have not even noticed.

The treatment entails lying flat on a bed for 30 to 60 minutes. Between every ‘set’ of moves, the therapist pauses and may exit the room for some time. This could seem a bit disconcerting, however the breaks allow your body to respond to the moves and assimilate the impact of every set. You will find yourself most relaxed during treatment and this will yield great results.
