Bowen

Bowen Therapy is a treatment that involves a sequence of small, gentle moves across fibres by the rolling of muscle and tendon in an organised manner. It is a gentle and powerful technique that sends neurological impulses through activating receptors to the brain resulting in immediate responses of muscle release and pain reduction.

These receptors inform the nervous system of the state of tension, lengthen or stretch in the muscles bringing a balance to the mental, physical and emotional well being with non intrusive movements. Bowen treatment can bring lasting relief from pain and discomfort and a return the body back to balance.
