About Bowen Therapy in Devon
A completely Non invasive body work therapy bringing effective pain relief to back pain,Sciatica, Neck/shoulder complaints and many more conditions.
The Bowen Technique is a soft tissue release therapy that is completely non-invasive and does not use any hard force or manipulation, the rolling type moves mostly made with fingers and thumbs act as a stimulation to the soft tissue and muscles of the body. It is believed that the Bowen Technique acts as a kind reminder to the body to reset, repair and balance itself in the most optimum way that it knows how to.
During a treatment short breaks are intermittently introduced this is so that the body the brain and the nervous system have time to register and respond to the moves that we make.
During this time the whole body can potentially begin to move into a deeper state of relaxation when this happens subtle adjustments and alignments can be made and better function is restored bringing about pain reduction , healing and recovery.
The Bowen Technique is a complete Holistic remedial therapy which means it has the potential to align itself to most conditions & phenomena that we commonly see in people today and the gentle touch of Bowen makes it suitable to all people of all ages including newborn babies and the elderly.
The Bowen Technique is a Holistic Therapy, this means that the body is treated as a whole and not just the named disease or condition the client may be presenting with. We do not diagnose but treat the person as a whole person.
The Bowen Technique treatment protocol is very well worked out in its effect on the whole body.For instance, probably the most common presentation for a Bowen therapist will be back pain. With Bowen we will tend to give a whole-body treatment at the first visit, which includes the neck, knees and shoulders. Because it is often very difficult to be completely sure where any given pain is coming from and to know how other structures are being affected by the original problem, Bowen’s holistic way of treating will most often get to the root of problems gently and efficiently giving the therapist a much bigger picture and therefore scope to work with.
WHAT CAN BOWEN TREAT?
Bowen is considered to respond well to almost all conditions.
Why is that?
The Bowen technique is based on the theory that gentle moves over precise points of the body can prompt the body’s innate ability to relieve pain, restriction and imbalance without the need for deep, manipulative or forceful treatment. Bowen practitioners work holistically with their clients and expect to work alongside allopathic health professionals to support optimum health for their clients.
For example, one of the most common complaints for which people seek Bowen treatment is back pain. The average number of treatments people have is three to four. There are always exceptions to any rule, and some people will need further or even on-going treatment. Painful and restricted shoulders are also a particular favourite as are neck pain, respiratory conditions, Sciaticaand headache patterns. Bowen is being widely used for sports injuries as well, with rugby clubs and premiership football clubs showing interest. Not only do sportsmen report fewer injuries when treated regularly but they also notice enhanced performance.
