The Original Bowen Technique
Although no list of conditions can be complete, many conditions do respond much more often than not:
• Back pain and sciatica
• Repetitive strain injury, carpal tunnel syndrome and tennis elbow
• Groin pain, pelvic tilt and uneven leg length
• Menstrual and hormonal problems
• Fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome
Would it be suitable and would it
help me?
Whether you are frail or pregnant, have a recent injury or a problem that’s been with you for years, you should consider the Bowen Technique.
It can assist recovery from many conditions and in most cases only a few treatments are required. No adverse side effects have been reported.
• Digestive and bowel problems
• Earache and TMJ problems
• Migraines and other types of headaches
• Hip, knee, ankle and foot problems
• Neck and shoulder problems (including frozen shoulder)
• Sports and other traumatic injuries
• Respiratory problems and hayfever
What is the Bowen Technique?
Rather than focusing on a single complaint, Bowtech addresses the entire body, by restoring balance via the autonomic nervous system (ANS). The ANS controls over 80% of bodily functions and is very susceptible to external stressors. The Bowtech practitioner delivers signals to the ANS at specific locations (on muscles, tendons, ligaments or nerves), and the body does the rest, responding in its own time, as it is able.
The technique consists of a series of precise and gentle moves on skin, or over light clothing should the client prefer, interspersed with frequent pauses that allow the body time to respond. Many people are surprised, and even a little put out, that there is such a light pressure involved, especially those used to the heavier touch of deep tissue massage or other techniques.
A Bowtech treatment may last from twenty minutes to an hour. Most often, a surprisingly few session are needed to alleviate complaints, whether structural or functional, even if long-standing. And the results hold for a long time, generally until there is a re-injury.
The technique is considered appropriate to use on anyone from newborns to the elderly, with any condition from sports injuries to chronic or organic complaints.
Some Case Histories
BACK PAIN 2 TREATMENTS
A 45 year old woman had suffered with back pain after an injury 25 years ago. On examination I could see her body was out of alignment. After one session she rang to say the pain was hardly there at all. After the second treatment the pain had gone altogether. Two years later she is still pain free.
RESTRICTED NECK 2 TREATMENTS
A 38 year old man could not rotate his neck more than a few degrees before pain checked the movement. One session freed the neck though there was lingering stiffness in the shoulders. After the second treatment he was able to look over his shoulder and all stiffness had gone.
FROZEN SHOULDER 3 TREATMENTS
Medical treatment and physiotherapy seemed to give a 34 year old woman no relief at all for her frozen shoulder, yet after the first treatment there was an improvement. After the third treatment the problem was quite resolved.
STRESS & SLEEP PROBLEMS 4 TREATMENTS
A self-employed man was working more than 80 hours per week and was clearly suffering from burn-out with aches all over, lack of sleep and feeling very stressed. He was amazed at the immediate effect of relaxation and easing of tension. Three further treatments and restructuring of his working week brought quality back into his life.
Since becoming an accredited practitioner I keep hearing:
“I don’t know what you’ve done, but it’s really worked”.
“I’ve tried everything, but finally I’m out of pain since coming to you for Bowen”.
“I was so sceptical when I first came, but now I’m convinced this treatment works”.
The Bowen Technique is one of the most straightforward and effective of all hands-on therapies
