About Bowen Technique
The Bowen Technique is a gentle and relaxing hands-on therapy in which the therapist using only light pressure makes a series of rolling moves over muscles,tendons, and soft tissue at precise points . These moves release tension in the body and addresses the connective tissue called fascia in order that healing, re-alignment and balance can take place . It helps increase blood and lymphatic circulation and release energy stored in the body. The moves produce good results by penetrating deeply into the tissues making use of the body ‘s ability to heal itself.
The therapist will take short breaks during the treatment between certain moves which enables the body to absorb the information it has received and initiate the healing process . Most problems can be resolved in 1-3 treatments with 5-10 days apart but some long term conditions may require more. Many clients return regularly for” top up” or preventative sessions as this helps the body to function at its best, manage stress and can help prevent new problems from developing . A treatment takes between 45-60 mins.
