Bowen Therapy can assist with many health conditions including post-concussion symptoms, migraines and headaches, anxiety, neck and jaw pain, low back pain and menstrual issues including heavy, irregular or painful periods.
The work is very gentle and the aim is to encourage your own body’s healing mechanisms to take over and respond.
Bowen has a big effect on fascia, which is the connective tissue which supports and runs through our entire bodies. Fascia is made up of fine tubes of collagen which is also incredibly strong and these fine tubes should be able to slip and glide alongside one another. Problems arise when they become stuck. This can occur due to dehydration, injuries, surgical procedures and scars, emotions being held in our bodies or how we hold ourselves (posture) such as sitting for hours each day.
Bowen also initiates a calming response within the autonomic nervous system - moving it over to the parasympathetic state - slowing the heart rate, restoring energy, improving digestion and enabling the body and mind to relax
Our nervous systems are profoundly influenced by Bowenwork. Many people are in a heightened state of the fight, flight or freeze response purely just from being busy. Rushing to and from work, getting kids to school, after school activities, preparing dinner, all of this puts us into a constant state of rushing and we don’t realise that our bodies are under stress.
Bowen relaxes the nervous system, moving it over to the parasympathetic state, also known as the rest, relax, and digest state. When the brain and nervous system feels calm, the body can refocus its energy onto healing.
The Lymphatic and Circulatory Systems are also effected by Bowen Therapy whereby restrictions are reduced, allowing blood flow through to areas that previously had limited or reduced circulation. Additionally, Bowen plays a big part in getting the lymph fluid moving and assists the Lymphatic System to rid the body of toxins, bacteria and infections from our cells.
Bowen is unique in how it works due to the gentleness of the work and yet produces big changes. Particular stretch receptors which are influenced by a Bowen move respond better to light touch then to deep pressure (as in the case of massage).
Less is more in Bowen Therapy!
Bowen really needs to be experienced to feel the full effects of this unique therapy allowing your body to rebalance and your mind to relax in a a gentle and holistic way.
