Catherine Walsh Bowen Therapy

Simply put Bowen Therapy seeks to restore function to the body using specific tissue manipulations that we call 'moves'. These moves are used to assess, relax and release the tone and tension of the tissues to achieve relief of pain and discomfort. In a session I carry out an individual assessment of your body and the treatment and moves applied are tailored to your individual needs.

It is important to give your body a break of a minute or two between deeper moves. This allows the body to receive, assimilate and respond to the information it receives through the moves. Our bodies have an enormous ability to heal when they receive the right information, hydration and nutrition. 

The effects of a Bowen Therapy treatment can continue into the next few days when change can continue to happen in the body.

Bowen Therapy is successful in treating musculoskeletal problems including

-back pain, sciatica, neck and shoulder pain, ankle and knee pain, joint issues

-headaches and migraines

-TMJ issues and many other complaints 

I hope you come see me so that you can try this amazing, healing treatment.

Manual Lymphatic Drainage

The lymphatic system has been more deeply studied in recent years and is getting the recognition it deserves as a highly important system in our bodies. It is a major part of our immune system, detoxifying the body by transporting metabolic waste, dead cells and bacteria to the venous system for processing and eliminating.  

Manual lymphatic drainage treatment helps keep this system working at its most efficient and can be most beneficial for those prone to or recovering from illnesses such as throat infections, colds, swollen glands and fluid rentention. It is also beneficial post workout recovery causing lactic acid build up.

The glymphatic system is the lymph system particular to the brain. While we sleep this is most active washing and refreshing in and around our brains. Research continues to discover more on the importance of this system in the prevention and management of age-related, neurodegenerative diseases such as dementia.
