Bowen
Treatment
- A
Bowen Technique treatment effects the body in many ways, which prompt
healing, pain relief and recovery of energy.
The
experience of the treatment is gentle, subtle and relaxing and it
is these features which make the Bowen Technique so unique.
What
does the treatment involve?
A Bowen
Technique treatment will take approximately 45 mins and most of the
work can be performed through light clothing.
Two or three treatments, at weekly intervals, are often sufficient to
achieve lasting relief from even long standing pain, although further
treatments may sometimes be required.
How
does it work?
The
practitioner uses thumbs and fingers on precise points on the body to
make rolling type moves, which aim to disturb the muscles, soft tissue
and energy within the body.
During the treatment there are periods where the client is left resting
to allow the body to absorb the gentle moves that have been performed.
This gives the body time to make the subtle and fine adjustments, which
help to relieve tension, reduce pain and initiate the healing process.
The
Bowen Technique encourages the body to realign itself; there is no manipulation
or adjustment of hard tissue and no force is used or needed.
The Bowen Technique is not a form of massage.
What
can it address?
Common
presenting problems include back and neck pain,
knee problems, sport
injuries, repetitive sprain injury, frozen shoulder, tennis elbow and
respiratory conditions.
Such as chronic fatigue, hayfever,
headache,
kidney problems, sports injuries, repetitive strain injury, frozen
shoulder, tennis elbow and respiratory conditions.
Conditions and problems requiring lymphatic drainage have responded
favorably to The Bowen Technique.
Some
people use The Bowen Technique as a means of stress management and health
maintenance, seeing their therapist regularly two to four times a year.
The
Bowen Technique also addresses
many other conditions.
It is generally regarded as safe and effective for people of all ages.
|
Bowen Therapy and its representatives do not
diagnose or treat medical conditions, nor prescribe treatment.
Bowen is not a
substitute for medical diagnosis and it is recommended that clients
consult with their primary health care provider for evaluation. |
