If you suffer from chronic or acute pain with musculoskeletal or neurological origins, you might want to give the Bowen Therapy a try. This unique treatment was developed by the self-taught Australian “healer” Tom Bowen in the 1950’s who treated thousands of patients in his clinic in Victoria each year.
It is said that he had the special gift of sensing vibrations in the muscles, nerves and soft tissues with his fingers hence knowing the exact places to manipulate specific points and to relieve pain. The aim of his technique is to restore well-being based on the osteopathic principle of correcting structural imbalances in the body.
How does the Bowen Therapy work?
By applying gentle rolling moves on specific points of the muscles, tendons and ligaments in very specific sequences, the practitioner helps to improve the flow of blood, lymph and energy in the patient’s body. These sequences create self-correcting structural changes and promote overall body balance. The Bowen Therapy can be applied to a wide range of ailments including:
Muscle pain
Frozen neck and shoulder
Arm pain and carpal tunnel syndrome
Sciatica
Back pain
Chronic fatigue syndrome
Emotional depression and stress
This technique can benefit people of all ages, but it is especially suitable for children and the elderly due to its gentle an non-invasive approach.
