After accidents, injuries or shocks, our body readjusts to function despite the issue. What we don’t realise, is that the compensation becomes a habit, and our bodies carry years and years of events that brought to misalignment, wrong postures, and much more, even on a mental and emotional level.
The Bowen Therapy – or Bowen Technique – is a series of moves that involve muscles, ligaments, tendons and nerves to send a message to the nervous system and reignite the body’s ability to react, recover its balance and heal.
It’s important to know what to expect: Bowen therapy is not a massage. It’s a stress-relieving therapy involving gentle but deliberate moves that send messages to the nervous system, and lead the body to adjust on its own terms.
Not everyone is inclined to or suitable for harsh manipulation like chiropractic and massage. Bowen therapy is so delicate that it’s ideal even for clients who are very frail, elderly or sick.
You will be laying on a massage table, seated or standing up, depending on your physical condition and the chosen procedures.
The moves work better on bare skin, so it would be ideal if you came to your appointment wearing loose tank top and shorts. For your comfort and relaxation, you will be covered with light blankets the whole time, unless you don’t want to.
I will perform a set of moves and then take a step back, in some cases I will even leave the room for some time. This is to allow the body to relax completely without interference, to better integrate the input given. I will then continue this way until the end of the session.
After the treatment, you will be asked to drink plenty of water, walk often and pay attention to any changes in your body and posture. You might be advised to see a doctor, a herbalist or other specialists.
Bowen Therapy it’s suitable for clients of all ages, no matter their health conditions, and works on both acute and chronic health issues.
You will feel Bowen therapy at all levels: in the body, mind, mood, recovery, posture, mindset and personal growth.
The benefits of Bowen therapy are praised all over the world, but that is not why I chose to be a Bowen therapist.
Here are my reasons.
The first: I am a chronic illness patient who used to live in constant pain for years and is now mostly asymptomatic,
and Bowen Therapy played a crucial role.
The second: Bowen is a physical therapy that has incredibly beneficial repercussions on the mind. It’s so common for a Bowen patient to become ready for big changes, and I love it.
I am also a Reiki Seichem Master and an Australian Bush Flower Remedies™ certified practitioner, for everyone interested in a holistic approach.
