what is bowen therapy?
Bowen Therapy is a gentle, relaxing, non-invasive treatment that is effective for pain relief from injury, sore muscles or general aches and pains.
It stimulates the body's inner ability to heal itself and results can be quite remarkable even after one treatment.
Because the treatment is gentle, it is also highly relaxing and low stress making it a great treatment for everyone.
As a soft tissue therapy it relaxes the fascia or connective tissue. There is no pulling, manipulation or cracking of joints. Fingers and thumbs are used in a rolling action over specific muscles, tendons and ligaments, incorporating resting periods to allow the body to absorb the information and respond accordingly.
The treatment is holistic, treating the whole body and in generally a pleasant and relaxing experience. It is suitable for all ages and during pregnancy.
Bowen Therapy looks for the cause of a problem, not just treating the symptoms to give you the quickest way back to good health.
