Bowtech allows the body to reset and heal itself. A Bowen session consists of a series of gentle moves on skin (or through light clothing), with the client lying on a treatment table.
A session usually lasts from half an hour to an hour and frequently results in a deep sense of overall relaxation, allowing the body to recharge and balance itself.
The Bowen Technique encourages a gentle response which empowers the body's own resources to heal itself.
Bowen moves are, in themselves, a study in delicacy, being light, gentle and very precise.
The Bowen Technique is not necessarily a 'long-term' program. Most clients find that a small number of sessions are adequate even for long-standing complaints.
Simply stated, the Bowen Technique allows the body to reset and heal itself. The work consists of a series of gently rolling, connective tissue moves. There are frequent important pauses between these moves which give the body time to benefit from each set. By combining moves, both in placement and in combination, the practitioner is able to address the body as a whole, or target a specific problem. A unique tool of the Bowtech practitioner is tissue tension sense, meaning that the practitioner is able to discern stress build-up in muscle groups and then utilize Bowtech moves to release that stress.
Bowtech aims to balance and stimulate energy flow, frequently resulting in a deep sense of overall relaxation. The restorative process begins once the body is relaxed, and continues as the body allows. Healing seems to occur by affecting the body’s autonomic nervous system, which creates homeostasis at the cellular level.
Bowtech is referred to as a complementary modality. This means it will enhance and complement, not interfere, with other medical attention. However, other manipulative therapies done immediately after a Bowtech session can undermine the effectiveness of the continuing Bowtech work.
Bowtech is a very important tool to facilitate healing of the whole body. The moves bring about incredible results by penetrating to a deep level, incorporating the body’s unique ability to heal itself.
With the release of toxins and old patterning, the moves begin to accomplish holistic balance almost immediately. Since Bowtech addresses the body as a whole unit rather than just the presenting symptoms, it embraces the physical, chemical, emotional and mental aspects of each person receiving Bowen.
The Bowtech practitioner is merely a catalyst, setting the stimulus in motion for the body to heal itself. Because the human body is so amazing, self healing can be achieved with minimal outside influence. A Bowtech session, whether to address a specific problem or maintain a healthy body, is the essence of simplicity.
