It is a light and gentle form of bodywork that often brings about remarkable results and long-lasting relief from pain. A Bowen treatment involves a series of gentle rolling movements over specific muscles, tendons, ligaments and nerves. These gentle movements have powerful affects on the body which causes the body to begin a natural healing process. Bowen therapy addresses the entire body by restoring balance to the autonomic nervous system. Therefore, it prompts the injured area, and body in general, to shift from a stressed, sympathetic state, to a rest and repair parasympathetic state. So, not only does Bowen address the site of pain in the body but it also addresses the body as a whole.
