Bowen Therapy

Advanced Bowen Therapy

The Bowen Therapy procedure is a Holistic approach to wellness.

The Bowen procedure may well be one of the single most important tools we have to facilitate healing of the whole body.  The Bowen moves bring about incredible results by penetrating to a deep cellular level, incorporating the body's unique ability to heal itself.

With the release of toxins and old patterning, the moves begin to accomplish holistic balance almost immediately. Since the Bowen procedure addresses the body as a whole unit, rather that just the presenting symptoms, it embraces the physical, chemical, emotional, and mental aspects of each person receiving the treatment.

The Bowen practitioner is merely a catalyst, setting the stimulus in motion for the body to heal itself. Because the human boy is so amazing, self-healing can often be achieved with minimal outside influence. A Bowen session, whether to address a specific problem or maintain a healthy body, is the essence of simplicity.

How does Bowen Work?

Simply stated, the Bowen procedure resets the body to heal itself. The work consists of a series of gently rolling connective tissue moves using a light touch and may be done through clothing. There are frequent important pauses between these moves, which gives the body time to benefit from each set. By combining moves, both in placement and in combination, the practitioner is able to address the body as a whole or target a specific problem. A unique tool of the Bowen practitioner is "tissue tension sense," meaning the practitioner is able to discern stress build-up in muscle groups and then utilize Bowen moves to release distress.

The Bowen procedure balances and stimulates energy flows, resulting in a deep sense of overall relaxation. The restorative process begins once the body is relaxed, and continues as the body allows. Healing seems to occur by
affecting the body's autonomic nervous system, which creates homeostasis at the cellular level.

The Bowen procedure is referred to as a "complimentary" modality. This means it will enhance, and compliment (not interfere with) other medical attention.
