TLC Massage - Bowen Therapy
Focus areas
Bowen Therapy is a gentle and relaxing healing modality and an effective approach to pain relief. It involves soft tissue or fascial release and integration techniques, which stimulate specific receptors that enable the body to correct dysfunctions and restore balance.
Fascia is a connective tissue that surrounds every muscle, organ, nerve and tissue. It is thought that the underlying source of many musculoskeletal, neurological, neuromuscular and other health problems could be found in the soft tissue or fascia.
Bowen Therapy comprises gentle and strategic rolls or moves over certain areas of the body which awaken the body's innate healing ability, unwinding fascia and allowing the body to return to its blueprint, allowing the body's energy to flow freely, alleviating pain and discomfort, frequently with the added benefit of alleviating some health issues.
Health concerns that often respond well to Bowen Therapy:
- Back pain and sciatica
- Digestive and bowel problems
- Earache and TMJ problems
- Migraines and headaches
- Fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome

- Menstrual and hormonal irregularities
