The Bowen Fascial Release Technique.
The Bowen Technique is one of the most contemporary and exciting forms of
holistic, therapeutic bodywork available today. In the North of England, it is
already being used as a referral pathway for the NHS. It is revolutionary - why?
Well, simply put, it is so gentle and pleasurable to receive, yet incredibly effective in
its purpose, which is to address the causes of structural imbalance and pain, thereby
restoring functionality back into people’s lives.
How can something be so powerful and pleasurable to receive? Bowen is
comprised of gentle, rolling-type movements delivered in a series of sequences,
directly positioned over exact anatomical locations on the body. These moves
are predominantly performed by the thumbs and fingers and are interspersed
with occasional breaks, allowing the body’s systems to fully absorb the energy
of the treatment.
How does Bowen work? It affects the connective tissues of the body, these
being the muscles, tendons, ligaments and fascia, of which fascia is of the most
importance.
What is fascia? It is the network of tissue that surrounds organs, muscle fibres,
joints, tendons, ligaments and nerves, and lives beneath our skin. Its purpose
is to give our body’s structural integrity and functional movement through the
correct balance of muscular tone and hydration. Simply put, our fascia, not the
musculoskeletal system, holds us together and enables us to move freely, by
interconnecting our body and mind as a whole. It’s tapping into this connection
that makes Bowen unique as a stand-alone treatment for a plethora of physical and
psychological issues. Regardless of age, size, gender, physical ability or state of health,
Bowen has the potential to restore a better functioning you, manage your pain and
vastly improve your sense of wellbeing. Try it for yourself and book an appointment today.
