Therapy descriptions

Bowen Therapy

Bowen works on your fascia, the soft connective tissue including muscles, tendons, ligaments, and nerves, that holds and binds your body together, and scientists and researchers are acknowledging the major role it plays in allowing your body to function properly.

Benefits of Bowen

My aim is simple – identify and target the root cause of dysfunction and get you back into symmetry and balance, quickly.

One of the most effective and powerful therapies I practice, I find most people only need 3-4 treatments before experiencing a positive long-term improvement to their health and wellbeing.

Bowen can also be carried out through light clothing so there’s no need to undress.

How it works

Multi-layered and connecting all parts of the body, fascia is like a laden tablecloth – tug one corner and the position of everything on the table changes, just as one dysfunctional area of fascia in your body can change the position of everything else. Bowen focusses on finding and targeting that dysfunction, allowing your body to put everything back into place.

What happens in a session

After an initial consultation, assessments, and observations to pinpoint where I need to work, I make key moves over specific points on your body, assessing the impact of each.

During the treatment there are short pauses, where I’ll leave you to rest on your own for between 1-3 minutes, allowing you and your body to process and respond to the work. At the end of each session, we’ll discuss any additional support you might require, including after care guidance to help you make the most of your treatment.
