Bowen Technique
The Bowen Technique ( Bowen ) is a gentle bodywork technique designed to move blocked energy in the body. It involves the practitioner stretching the skin to the edge of muscles, tendons or ligaments at specific points on the body until all the slack has been taken up. Holding the stretch energises and draws the person`s awareness to the area and then the stretch is released over the belly of the muscle, tendon or ligament.
A Bowen `move` stimulates the muscle spindles and golgi tendons, which serve the purpose of informing the entire body of muscular and fascial tension down to the cellular level. The release of these tensions frees up energy in the body at both a micro and macro level, which encourages deep relaxation and healing.
Bowen can help with, Musculo-skeletal conditions, Migraines, Gynaecological conditions, Respiratory conditions, Kidney problems, Irritable Bowel, Hormonal imbalances, MS, Fibromyalgia, ME, Stress, Anxiety & Depression.
Bowen is safe for babies and children and can help with chronic conditions such as colic, eczema and hyperactivity.
