The Bowen Technique is a hands-on and versatile therapy that embodies a truly holistic approach to healthcare. It treats the whole body, assessing and addressing the underlying cause of pain and not just focusing on the symptom. The sole intention of the work is to encourage the body to respond by carefully stimulating its own innate ability to heal.
This approach to is complementary to mainstream medical care, focusing on supporting your body’s natural healing process, based on your personal needs and individual health goals. It can be used on a stand alone basis or alongside standard, medical treatment.
Fascia Bowen (originally developed and taught by Howard Plummer) is an even gentler system than traditional Bowen and is frequently used with children or those who are frail or have particularly reactive conditions. It works with the dermatomes (an area of skin that is mainly supplied by a single spinal nerve), to gently engage the central nervous system. This makes it a wonderful therapy to use with developmental conditions and can also be very effective with lymphatic conditions or scarring because of how it activates the surface and deep fascial layers of the body.
There is a long history of Bowen being used to treat a full range of developmental difficulties in children, with very favourable results.
Assessment Led Bowen (developed and taught by Phil Steward) is based on a clear and concise method of assessment that allows a therapist to pin point the primary disfunction within their client's body, thus enabling them to find "hidden causes" that maybe otherwise missed.
My approach is to apply the most suitable Bowen moves to create a positive impact for my clients in as few sessions as possible. Typically, 1 to 3 treatments are enough, though some conditions may require ongoing sessions for continued benefit.
