How can Bowen Therapy help?
Pain and discomfort
Bowen can help ease pain and discomfort
Bowen therapy is perhaps the most wholistic treatment you can experience. Often we have symptoms (pain, discomfort etc) and that is what we seek treatment for. Bowen can help alleviate symptoms but also works on the causes behind the pain or issue. In this way, Bowen often offers longer lasting relief. Issues that may be helped with Bowen include: back, neck and shoulder pain; headaches and migraines; asthma and allergies; hip, pelvic and knee pain; sciatica; ankle and feet issues; respiratory and digestive complaints; chronic conditions; acute conditions; stress, anxiety and overwhelm; athletic recovery; and so much more. Need more information? Please give me a call to discuss whether Bowen might be a good therapy for you.
Conception & pregnancy
Bowen supports conception and pregnancy
Bowen therapy work supports pregnancy as well as clients trying to conceive. The gentle moves can help with most problems associated, not only with conception, but also pregnancy. Because Bowen helps the body remember perfect alignment, it helps the body get ready for conception or birth. Working with pregnant women, the session and moves take into account the comfort of the client. Often sessions, especially later in the pregnancy, are done in a seated or standing position. During pregnancy, moves can help with: digestion and indigestion; breathing; back, hip and knee pain; stress and anxiety; swelling and other issues related to postural and weight changes. For couples trying to conceive, it has been found that treating both partners is beneficial. Moves to reduce stress and balance the hormonal system are usually the session focus for clients trying to conceive.

Stress and anxiety
Bowen calms our nervous system
Bowen therapy helps the body to shift from the sympathetic (fight/flight adrenal mode) to the parasympathetic (rest and digest mode) nervous system (PNS) and it's through the PNS that the body relaxes enough to allow deep healing to begin. When we are stressed, often we are living from a place of fear, anxiety, reaction or overload and it becomes more and more difficult to function in the day to day. Bowen can gently and effectively help relieve the symptoms of stress as it balances the body. A body in balance is a body more able to deal with stress. Whether your stress is physical, emotional or mental, Bowen can help move you to a place where you feel better and are more able to be responsive instead of reactive.
Children
Bowen helps babies and children with its gentle moves
Bowen therapy is a beautifully safe and effective - and drug-free - treatment for babies and children. Babies and kids tend to respond very well and because they usually haven't spent years in a restrictive or painful state, conditions often resolve quickly. Conditions responding favourably to Bowen include: colic, reflux, feeding issues, bowel issues, sleeping, restrictions in movement, teething, birth traumas, asthma symptoms, bed-wetting. Unsettled or distressed babies and children can also benefit greatly from this technique.

Chronic & acute conditions
Bowen can help with chronic and acute conditions
Bowen therapy has been shown to help almost everything - from debilitating chronic issues such as MS, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, diabetes, Parkinson's, IBS, colitis - to acute issues such as sprains, concussions, injuries, whiplash, back spasms, migraines - because it helps the body remember wellness. The Bowen moves relay messages to the brain and the brain sends the messages throughout the body to where healing needs to occur. The brain holds our body's perfect blueprint. Acute issues can resolve more quickly because the body has not learned techniques in which to compensate for the pain or injury. The muscle memory can be more easily unlocked. Chronic conditions can take longer to resolve. It is the long term effects which make Bowen unique. Sessions build on each other, helping the body to remember. Once the patterns are shifted, permanent change can occur.
The elderly
Bowen has been shown to help with age-related issues
Bowen therapy is a great treatment choice for elderly people. Its gentle, non-invasive and non-manipulate moves help relax and heal the client, without causing undo stress. Client comfort is critical and sessions can be done over clothing and in seated positions. Bowen can help with most complaints including: fatigue, digestive issues, grief. loss and separation, pain and mobility issues, memory, eyesight, arthritis, sinus and circulation.

Why make Bowen your modality of choice?
Bowen can help the whole body
When I get a new client who is unfamiliar with Bowen, I spend time explaining a bit about what the modality is and how it works. I am always amazed by what this technique can help facilitate for people - physically, emotionally, mentally. It can be nothing short of miraculous. For me, Bowen is so awesome because it helps the body to heal itself, only ever at the body's own pace - it gets the body into a state where deep healing can occur. It seems to almost 'force' the body to shift from 'fight and flight' to 'rest and digest'. And it's in this 'rest and digest' state where healing takes place.
We get sick because our body is out of balance. Bowen wholistically helps the body to move back into its natural balance. Each move treats the whole body. That's why Bowen has the potential to help any condition - it helps the body remember its innate blueprint of perfect health and well-being. And in that state, we are well. Our body is in flow. There is much in our lives which can shift us out of flow, into un-wellness. Bowen gives the body a chance to heal itself and to remember perfect health and unity. It's gentle. It's effective. It's wholistic. It works.
Bowen therapy is a soft-tissue technique with moves being made over specific points on the body. Bowen is different from other hands-on modalities in that it uses moves which challenge against a muscle and then roll over the area to send a signal, via the fascia, to the brain. It is because Bowen works through the fascia that the Bowen moves can be very gentle, often feeling like not much is going on or being done. The move doesn't need to be forceful to be effective. Bowen can be used to treat very specific areas and complaints, as well as to treat the body as a whole. Need more information? Contact me.

Mind, Body & Bowen
Our bodies hold everything (good, bad and otherwise), from conception to the present, and Bowen can help unlock what the body no longer needs to hold onto. Traumas can be released and profound levels of healing can be observed. Sessions focus on body sensations as a way to unlock the story so a body can release a trauma without having to re-live it. A session moves at the body's pace and the practitioner helps to facilitate the healing using the appropriate Bowen moves.
