What Is Bowen?
The Bowen Technique is a gentle soft tissue therapy, it is one of the most fascinating therapies available that does not use adjustment or manipulation to gain results.
In bodywork whether it is an adjustment, massage, or manipulation, often the focus is on full contact from a therapist to a client. However from the Bowen perspective the focus is on something much more subtle: it's on the brain’s ability to sort out functional errors when the correct clues are provided. It is unique: it combines sets of moves to ensure that the connective tissue surrounding all organs and muscles in the body is relaxed. There is no manipulation or force used in any of the moves. The pressure used is often described as eye-ball pressure; its gentle touch makes this technique suitable to use with newborn babies, elderly and fragile people. It can be performed through light clothing whilst the client lies on a bed, although treatment can be carried out just as effectively in a chair. |
