BOWEN
Bowen Therapy is a holistic approach to pain relief and healing that has achieved remarkable results. It has been developed on the teaching by late Tom Bowen, who lived and practiced in Geelong, Victoria, that the underlying cause of many musculoskeletal, neurological, neuromuscular and other health or pain could be found in the soft tissue or fascia.
Fascia is a specific type of connective tissue that forms a three dimensional web surrounding every muscle and tissue in the body. Therefore fascial dysfunction can affect every structure, muscle, nerve and organ in the body. Fascia the largest sensory organ in the body.
Bowen Therapy, through specific soft tissue or fascial release techniques, stimulate specific receptors that enable the body itself to correct dysfunctions and restore homeostasis (balance) on a holistic level. Through treating the cause rather than the symptoms Bowen Therapy has consistently shown it can have relieving outcomes.
The technique can treat a wide range of painful conditions, even where other modalities have had shown little improvement.
Bowen Therapy being holistic approach treats the whole body, and its holistic effects are apparent in patients who find resolution to problems above and beyond those for which they have sought treatment, for example lack of energy, stress or emotional issues.
A Bowen treatment should go for between 30 minutes to an hour depending on the treatment.
During the treatment the practitioner may leave the room several times for up to a couple of minutes, this will help the body process the specific soft tissue moves has greater holistic result in restoring the body to normal function.
