Bowen Therapy
Bowen therapy is a holistic and multi-dimensional approach to pain relief and healing that has achieved remarkable results over the past 50 years.
Tom Bowen, the originator, saw that the underlying source of many musculoskeletal and other health problems could be found in the soft tissue of the body, particularly in the connective tissues (fascia) and muscles. Fascia embraces all muscles and organs.
Fascial congestion and gluing, which is caused by dehydration, direct injury, postural strain or emotional stress, can affect every structure and function of the body causing nerve compression, muscle shortening and skeletal misalignment, and organ displacement.
The treatment consists of small cross-fibre stretching moves which are placed at specific points on the body. Bowen Therapy is a very safe and highly effective treatment with substantial relief frequently attained after the first few sessions.
Conditions that have responded well to Bowen Therapy include:
