The Bowen Technique is a unique form of body work. It doesn’t involve pressure, adjustment or special equipment. Instead, it is a very gentle method that uses a rolling movement with the therapist only using a light touch with his or hers thumbs and fingers. The therapist will physically leave the patient in between sets of movement.
Bowen therapy can be used for a range of ailments include musculoskeletaland neurological problems. The theory that lies behind this method is that the therapist stimulates the body to use its own healing resources to integrate the body as a system.
My own experience with the Bowen Technique came about when I was suffering from sciatica. I had tremendous pain that went from buttock all the way down my left leg. I had a limp and couldn’t even put any weight on the left foot. I had a single session of Bowen and my whole body simply relaxed. When I stood up from the table, the pain had completely gone and I could stroll around like nothing was every wrong. Its been now four years since this single session and I haven’t suffered from sciatica since.
My wife has since attend the same clinic as myself for neck and shoulder pain. Her pain was dramatically reduce in one session and completely gone by the third.
If you are suffering from a pain for condition like back, shoulder, hip or knee pain then I would urge you to investigate Bowen therapy as a way to solve your problems.
