Bowen Therapy
Bowen therapy itself is only about 60 years old but the principle behind it has been around for centuries. The technique used in Bowen therapy was created by Tom Bowen who was considered to be a gifted spiritual healer. He was born with the natural ability to feel and sense vibrations in the nerves, muscles and soft tissues through his fingers and sense of touch. He created the Bowen therapy so that he could help relieve all kinds of pain in others with physical ailments. This gentle therapy has been used on millions of patients ranging from a newborn baby to the elderly and continues to be popular because of the holistic nature of it.
With Bowen therapy, there is no force used; it is simply a movement by the Bowen therapist in which they use their fingers and thumbs to move the tissues and muscles in the body to spur on better wellness within the body. The process is quite simple. By touching the muscles and tissues they practitioner uses their positive energy to find the areas that need spiritual healing and moves between them in sets. In between the sets the practitioner leaves the room in order to let the spiritual healing take over and then comes back to do it again. By doing this only a few times over the course of two to three treatments, the physical ailment that is in question will start to improve and the pain and discomfort virtually disappears. Bowen therapy is meant to work in conjunction with modern medical treatment, not in place of it. However, more and more people are finding that it has such a high rate of success that so often they are able to stop all medical prescriptions and use only Bowen therapy to relieve themselves of almost all types of pain.
How Bowen Therapy Works
Bowen therapy works simply because it helps the body learn to remember how to heal itself from within. Using specific points of gentle pressure, it can send neurological impulses to brain which in turn relaxes the muscles and offers a reduction in overall pain. The moves that the practitioner does works to create energy surges in the body that are also sent to the central nervous system to remind the body what normal movement felt like without the pain in question. This works wonders on people who suffer from muscle spasms and constriction of blood flow. By bringing the body into a state of balance, the body responds by relieving the person of pain.
Much of the movements are done at the origin of the muscles within the belly which many of the spindle and Golgi nerve receptors are located. This is where most of the tension within the body lies in the nervous system. By stretching these muscles it stimulates much of the pain relief from head to toe. It also helps to digest in a way the physical and emotional stress that the body feels which again leads to a relief of pain. Bowen therapy also works in the joint areas for those who have joint pain. The technique is done around the joins to stimulate the nerves that sense the position of your body. It can even be performed on the spine to relieve back pain and can spur on reactions in other areas of the body such as circulation issues and insomnia. When used altogether, the Bowen therapy techniques can clear energy blocks and promote overall wellness and wellbeing that truly make the body and mind whole again.
