Every Body is Better with Bowen

Here's how it may help you with ...

Stress & Anxiety

The Bowen moves help the body to shift from the sympathetic (fight/flight adrenal mode) to the parasympathetic (rest and digest mode) and it's when we are in the parasympathetic nervous system that healing can begin. When we are stressed, often we are living from a place of fear, anxiety, reaction, overload - call it what you will - but 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 more able to be responsive instead of reactive.

Acute & Chronic Pain

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.

Acute issues can often resolve 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 may take longer to resolve. It is the long term effects which make Bowen unique. Sessions build on each other, helping the body to remember wellness. Once the patterns are shifted, permanent change can occur.

At Any Age & Stage

Bowen 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. 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 focus for these clients.

Babies and children tend to respond very well to Bowen and because they haven't spent years in a restrictive or painful state, conditions often resolve quickly. Conditions responding favorably to Bowen include: colic, reflux, feeding issues, bowel issues, sleeping, restrictions in movement, teething, birth traumas, asthma symptoms, bed-wetting.

Bowen 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.
Bowen is a beautifully safe and effective - and drug-free - treatment for all life stages.

Mind Body Connection

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.
