Bowen ~ Get Better

How does Bowen Therapy work?

Basically – our body’s muscles know where they should be in order to be pain free and relaxed. Bowen Therapy provides a gentle signal to your body so it can start the process of returning tendons and muscles to their original relaxed state. This is also helpful in holding the bones in their correct position.

The human body has an all pervasive web type network that surrounds each muscle, tendon, bone and even our organs. This weblike structure is called ‘fascia’ – it is also in sheet form – it is around everything and even through our soft tissue – it is essentially what holds our bodies together!

This "fascia" has an inbuilt memory of where your body is most relaxed so when your Bowen Therapist gives your fascia the right prompts – your muscles begin to return to where they need to be. This is what your body naturally wants. So Bowen Therapy truly works ‘naturally’ with your body to help ‘reset’ your body.

Bowtech moves and procedures can effectively reset the body to heal itself by activating, through the central nervous and endocrine systems among others, the following mechanisms:

• Stretch reflex/The Bowen ‘Move’


• Fascia


• Segmental viscerosomatic spinal reflexes


• Lymphatics


• Harmonic vibration or resonance model


• Joint proprioceptors / Around joints


• Detoxification
