Bowen is a restorative therapy that allows the body to heal itself. It can provide a path for the body to heal from repetitive strain injuries or chronic pain conditions such as fibromyalgia or sensory neuropathy. Bowen is a very gentle hands-on therapy such that even if in constant pain, individuals find the treatment relaxing and calming for the body. If needed, Bowen can be performed over loose clothing or with the individual sitting in a chair or a walker. Studies have shown that in addition to restoring muscle and nervous system integrity, Bowen treatments can shift the central nervous system from the sympathetic (flight and fight) response to the parasympathetic (rest and restoration) response. As a result, it can positively affect physiological functions such as circulation, heart rate, digestion, sleep and the endocrine system. Help your body walk away from pain with Bowen therapy.
