Bowen Therapy is a form of specialised bodywork initiating a deep, parasympathetic nervous system response in the body, which enables a relaxing re-set.
This rest, initiates the body’s innate healing wisdom to override & correct dysfunctional postural & stagnant holding patterns, by finding the balance & equilibrium it needs. The gentle rolling moves, performed over muscles, tendons & ligaments, speak to the facial network whilst reducing the restriction in the fascia surrounding the musculature, nerves, organs & lymphatic system. This softening of the network & consequent energy & blood-flow gives rise to a gentle detoxification & lymphatic drainage, this is why it is recommended to drink plenty of water following a treatment.
The strategic location of the performed moves, also happen to work over acupressure points in the meridian channels, encouraging the energetic free-flow of Qi, allowing enhanced energy & blood flow.
Consideration is taken when assessing the body’s patterns of imbalances & how they may affect the entire myofascial chain & appropriate moves & procedures are performed to enable the necesary release.
