Massage - Bowen Therapy - Principles of the Bowen Technique
Objective of the Bowen Therapy: The underlying "holistic" principle behind the Bowen technique is that structure governs function, that disturbances of structure in any tissue within your bodymind will lead to disturbances of functioning in your structure and, in turn, of the function of your bodymind as a whole.

Massage - Bowen Therapy - Conditions that Benefit from Bowen Treatments
Most acute conditions (90%) respond to Bowen treatments within 2-3 sessions (you begin to feel results) and resolve in 3-5 sessions (relief of your symptoms).

Chronic, long standing conditions respond to Bowen treatments within 2-3 sessions, but may take longer to resolve for long-lasting relief of symptoms! Below is a list of conditions I've treated successfully using...

Massage - Bowen Therapy - Mr. Tom Bowen
Tom Bowen had no "hands-on" training as we know it, but is thought to have been powerfully influenced by a man at the footy club who was himself a professional "manipulator." The two spent many hours exchanging ideas. Ultimately, however, it was Tom Bowen's genuine desire to be of service and help others that led to the discovery of his technique.

Energy Medicine - Water and Health
Water plays an extremely important role in your diet and bodily functions. Many parts of the brain draw much of their energy from water. Water must be taken into your body in its pure, natural state, optimally it is recommended that you drink half your body weight in ounces daily.

Energy Medicine - Importance of Intention and Focus
It must be noted that an energy medicine practitioner is not responsible for how someone responds to treatment. There are many variables influencing someone's response-ability. Two important ones are attitude(s) and vital life force, or the capacity for healing.

Massage - Bowen Therapy - Benefits
In most cases a Bowen Therapy treatment produces rapid and lasting results. Benefits are usually apparent within two, or three sessions, even when long-standing conditions are being treated. Bowen Therapy is completely safe and appropriate for everyone from the chronically ill to the highly conditioned athlete, from the elderly to the newborn baby. There are few contraindications for using the Bowen technique. The technique is gentle and noninvasive and can be performed through clothing.

Massage - Bowen Therapy - What to Expect - Your Follow-up Treatment
A week later a second, follow-up treatment, is scheduled. Usually the client is feeling much better and the symptoms reported in the first session have changed in some way; perhaps the symptoms have diminished in intensity, or even entirely resolved. The second session is always recommended as it is considered important for setting the foundation of the work into the bodymind for longevity of results.

Energy Medicine - BodyTalk Balancing Hydration Technique
Hyperactivity in children has been associated to dehydration, as has a clogged lymphatic system, wrinkling of skin, headache, and various aches and pains, including fibromyalgia and arthritis. I've often found that a client who is slower to respond to treatment is dehydrated.

Massage - Bowen Therapy - Description of the Technique
A Bowen practitioner must also be able to evaluate tissue tension, the amount of stretch there is when moving tissues. An interpretation of tension must be evaluated during each move. This is what makes Bowen Therapy a dynamic rather than static form of bodywork.
