BOWEN THERAPY
WHAT IS BOWEN THERAPY?
Bowen Therapy Overview
Bowen Therapy is a holistic modality of bodywork characterized by gentle cross-fiber movements applied to the fascia, muscles, and connective tissues. These techniques stimulate the nervous system’s regulatory capacity, empowering the body’s own innate resources to repair and heal.
Treatment Process
A Bowen treatment involves a series of “Body Resetting Moves”, often supplemented with specific procedures targeting particular conditions or areas of discomfort. No forceful manipulation is used during this process.
Clothing Recommendations
For optimal treatment, it is recommended that clients wear light, comfortable clothing. Please avoid tight jeans or restrictive clothes.
Bowen at Breathe Life of Wellness is practiced by Marie and is the original ‘Bowtech’ Bowen Therapy. No other modalities are combined in the same treatment.
Marie is a member of BTFA (Bowen Therapists Federation of Australia) and has been practicing since 2002.
Empowering your body’s own inner resources to heal.
A Bowen Therapist will facilitate the body to switch off the stress response in the body (fight & flight mode), and help enable a calming and down-regulating of the nervous system (rest and digest mode). It is in this state of rest (parasympathetic state) that the body does its best repair work.
The bodies innate intelligence is so profound, but sometimes a disconnect occurs within the body for various reasons and the bodies regulating capacity can get blocked – especially after chronic long term stress / illness / injury etc. Bowen can help stimulate this regulating capacity of the nervous system, teaching the body how to regulate, repair and maintain homeostasis more efficiently again. The time this takes varies from person to person.
Sometimes subtle sensations are felt in the body during a treatment and afterwards too as the Nervous System is responding. These may be: tingling, heaviness, twitching, warmth, cold, lightness.
People often report after a treatment they feel so deeply relaxed, lighter, that stress has lifted from their body, less pain and restriction, improved digestion, improved sleep and like they can breathe again.
