Item Special Note

Bowenwork is a dynamic system of muscle and connective tissue therapy that was developed by the late Tom Bowen in Geelong, Australia. It utilizes small but measured inputs to the body stimulating the body to heal itself, often profoundly.

Bowenwork usually results in the relief of many specific injuries and other health problems, both acute and chronic. Signals are delivered to the nervous system at specific locations (on muscles, tendons, ligaments, or nerves) and the body does the rest.

The Bowen technique addresses the entire body by restoring balance via the autonomic nervous system (ANS). The ANS controls over 80% of bodily functions and is very susceptible to external stressors. Many people today live in a constant state of high stress and sympathetic ANS over-stimulation (fight, flight or freeze mode). Healing can occur only after the ANS shifts from sympathetic to parasympathetic dominance (rest, relax and repair model). Bowen seems to affect that shift. During sesssions, clients often quickly drop into deep relaxation or fall asleep. The sessions seem to reactivate the recovery process in stimulating where healing from trauma, sickness or surgery has stalled or reached a plateau.



What To Expect  from a Bowen Session Bowen essions generally last from 20-50 minutes. The moves are gentle but purposeful and can be done through light clothing.

A session involves one or more "procedures," each of which consists of several sets of "gentle rolling moves." Between each set of moves, the practitioner pauses for a few minutes to give the client's body time to integrate the moves.

The Bowen technique allows the body to heal itself with minimal intervention. Because of the subtlety of Bowenwork and the body's continuing response to it, other forms of manipulative therapy performed up to four days before, or five days after, a Bowen session may interfere with its effectiveness.
