What is the Bowen Technique? | The
Benefits of Bowen Technique
 Bowen
is a drug-free, non-invasive, hands-on therapy. There is no pulling
or cracking of joints, no insertion of needles and no manipulation.
The technique consists of a sequence of small, very precise, rolling moves
over muscles and soft tissue, interspersed with periods of rest in order
for the treatment to be absorbed and the body to start the re-aligning,
self-healing process. Bowen can also be administered through light
clothing.
The effect of a Bowen treatment is to release stress at a very deep level,
allowing the body to address imbalances in functions and chemical
composition. The aim is to restore, as far as possible,
physiological equilibrium within the body.
The treatment is generally a pleasant and relaxing experience with no
known adverse side effects. It is suitable for people of all ages,
from tiny babies to the very mature.
Treatments usually last 45 minutes to 1 hour, although a detailed Case
History is taken at the first visit, which may necessitate more time being
allowed. Short-term (acute) injury is usually resolved in 1 - 4
sessions (at least 7 days apart), while long-standing (chronic) conditions
may require several additional treatments. Many clients return
regularly for 'top-up' treatments, to boost their feeling of health and
well-being and to strengthen their immune system.
The
Benefits
The Bowen Technique has a remarkable record of success in helping clients
with a wide range of conditions and there are many personal testimonies of
Bowen working when nothing else has helped.
It has been shown to help not only muscular and skeletal problems such as:
back, neck and shoulder pain, sciatica, whiplash, tennis and golfer's
elbow, frozen shoulder and sports injuries
but also with such problems as:
arthritis, asthma, hay fever, eczema, migraine, IBS, lymphatic
drainage, stress, depression and even fertility problems.
It can also help babies with colic, children who have glue ear, who
bed-wet, or who have suffered trauma or exhibit behavioural problems.
