Bowen Therapy – Helping the body reset and heal itself
Bowen Therapy utilizes small, gentle “moves” over muscle and other soft tissue to address the whole body, stimulating it to reset and heal itself. The healing may occur at all levels as needed: physical, chemical, emotional, mental energetic, etc.Bowen Therapy usually results in the relief of many specific injuries and other health problems, both acute and chronic. It does so holistically, by using the body's innate healing mechanisms. The practitioner delivers signals to the nervous system at specific locations (on muscles, tendons, ligaments, or nerves), and the body does the rest.
A Bowen Therapy session lasts about 40 minutes and is done on a bodywork table with the client remaining clothed throughout the procedures. Bowen Therapy is appropriate for everyone from newborns to pregnant women to the elderly and frail. Each will benefit, according to need.
