Bowen Therapy Empowers The Body To Heal Itself
Bowen Therapy Empowers The Body To Heal Itself
It is named after Tom Bowen, Geelong, Vic and has been taught in Australia since 1986.
Bowen Therapy empowers the body to heal itself. The treatment is natural, non invasive and consists of a series of gentle, precise moves on specific areas of the body. It stimulates energy flow, which activates the body's own resources for healing.
It is believed that Bowen Therapy sets up vibrational patterns (similar to sound or smell) that correspond to particular areas of the body. The body then attempts to alter its vibration to match these ideal vibrational patterns and in so doing, brings itself into harmony. Frequent and important pauses between moves give the body time to respond and benefit from each move or series of moves.
One Bowen move on a body may address the entire system. Yet while each move is profoundly effective, the full benefit of the technique is gained through a complementary series of moves. Only a limited number of sequences is needed each session so the technique is simple to do and gently on the client.
Bowen Therapy is a natural, gentle, fast, effective treatment, which produces an integrated body response, improving circulation, lymphatic and venous drainage, helping assimilate nutrients and eliminate toxins. It has been shown to successfully address (amongst other problems):
Back/hip problems
Neck/shoulder problems
Restrictions in arm movement
Repetitive Strain Injury or forearm/elbow
Abnormal posture
Injuries or problems associated with knee/ankle/ hamstring
Respiratory illness/allergies
Asthma symptoms and hay fever
Migraines/headaches
ADHD in children
Gastro-intestinal complaints
Bed wetting in children
Gynaecological complaints
Breast area discomfort
Lymphatic drainage
You don't have to be unwell to benefit from Bowen Therapy. It is an ideal way to help the body function at an optimal level of health and efficiency.
Bowen Therapy is a model of simplicity - it produces maximum results with a minimum of intervention. We do not impose a healing mechanism on the body, we respect it as inherent in each individual. Benefits are not limited to the presenting physical symptom, but extend to the emotional, cognitive and spiritual levels of healing as well. Bowen is becoming universally recognised as transformational.
Bowen Therapy helps you to reset your body. You can assist the therapy by following a few simple rules:
BEFORE THE TREATMENT
Preferably do not apply any other bodywork five days prior to or after a Bowen Therapy treatment, as this can interfere with the work your body is doing to rebalance itself. Please let the therapist know if this is the case as you may need to reschedule your Bowen Therapy treatment.
DAY OF TREATMENT
Drink plenty water (preferably filtered)
If you need to sit for extended periods of time, get up and walk around at least every 30 minutes
Avoid vigorous exercise
Don't have hot or cold showers or apply ice or heat packs to the treated area
AFTER TREATMENT
Ring your therapist if there appears to be a problem
IMPORTANT - Do not apply other treatments within the next four days
Your body can still be adjusting and rebalancing up to 72 hours after a treatment so allow time for the full effects to be felt BETWEEN TREATMENTS
Drink sufficient amounts of water (aim at 6-8 cups daily) for at least four days after a treatment to help the boy to eliminate toxins
Take your weight evenly on both feet when getting out of bed, out of the car etc
Observe and read your body for changes:
Sleeping patterns
Energy levels
Mood/attitude
Toilet habits
Your problem area
BEFORE NEXT TREATMENT
Look back and reflect on your observations since the last treatment and give your therapist a true feedback as to what you have noticed and how you have felt since the last treatment.
I would love you to leave a comment and share your Bowen Therapy experience with me.
Yours in Bowen
