About Bowen therapy

Bowen therapy is a series of gentle rolling movements performed on your muscles, joints, tendons and ligaments. These subtle moves send messages to your nerves, retrieving cellular memories and restoring your body to a calm, balanced and relaxed state.
A gentle and non-invasive therapy, being suitable for all ages from the elderly to children and newborn babies.
People who try Bowen therapy are continually amazed at the effectiveness of this simple and non manipulative form of "hands-on" therapy. Where other physical therapy modalities address the musculo-skeletal structures of the body, Bowen Therapy works on releasing connective tissue (fascia). This means that old and difficult problems which have not responded to other modalities like massage therapy, physiotherapy and chiropractic, may respond well to Bowen Therapy.

Bowen therapy works to restore, recharge and balance, encouraging your body to heal itself.

Try to wear something lightweight and non-slippery.

What should I wear for a Bowen treatment?

Bowen can be carried out through light clothing. Try to wear something lightweight and non-slippery. A cotton T-shirt and thin trousers are ideal. If you are wearing bulky items such as jumpers or coats you will be asked to remove them.

How many treatments will I need to have?

Everyone responds differently so it is impossible to say. Some problems need more treatments and some less. Many people find it beneficial to have top-up treatments thus preventing injury and maintaining a supple, healthy,relaxed body and mind.

About Kinesiology

It is hard to imagine. from conception to the present day, every breath, every movement is stored in your body in your muscle memory.

For instance, if you think about starting a new job and feel nervous about that, your muscles reflect this stress. If we change the neurological pattern then the thought pattern is influenced to change and the change of thought pattern is reflected back to the physical in the muscles and entire body.

Muscle testing uncovers both neurological and organic imbalances in the body. By combining Eastern philosophy of Chinese meridian techniques, with western techniques of osteopathic and counselling modalities, with both hemispheres of your brain (left or logical, side and right creative / intuitive side) working in harmony, emotional/mental issues can be addressed.

Kinesiology creates an efficiency of neurological function, through bodywork referring back into the nervous system, using acupressure and muscle checks.

Kinesiology can also assist in reducing stress and supporting new behaviours, integrating your health on all levels - body, mind and spirit.
When the body and brain are working together, the benefits can be surprisingly quick and long lasting.

Areas where kinesiology can support better health include:

• Easing stress and pain
  
• Improving memory
  
• Boosting health and well being
  
• Improving sleep

Massage Therapy FAQ

How Does Massage Work?

Remedial massage works by releasing your aching and/or tight muscle groups, tendons and ligaments. Your remedial massage will increase your circulation which improves your healing ability and provides suppleness to the muscles, giving them a greater range of movement, this reduces the risk of future injury and illness. This will help your body to restore to its optimum level of function, promoting a lighter, healthier feeling overall.

Touch is one of the most crucial, yet often underrated, of the senses - all ages benefit from human touch. Massage has been shown to benefit the body on a number of levels because it relaxes and revitalises a weary or ailing body through a reassuring and caring touch.
Many studies have proven that massage promotes state of mind and mood-altering serotonin and endorphins. Endorphins are chemicals that affect development in children, as well as, improving emotional and physical well-being in adults.

How Does Massage Improve Health?

Massage has been shown to reduce blood pressure, relieve arthritis, and improve joint and muscle aches especially in painful areas of the neck and back, and even increase immunity to colds and flu!
