Bowen Technique

[Guest guest]

Hi Hiedi. I¹ve never heard of the Bowen Technique. It looks very

interesting. It reminds me of

Acupressure. According to one article I read, the football players prefer

this therapy, so it must

help. Here are some sites regarding this technique. If you decide to try

it, please let us know how it goes.

Hello!

This morning, my physical thearapist asked me if I knew of this

technique. I am sharing it with you as I am forever finding the body

and it's way of working, the most interesting thing on earth. You can

visit the website at www.bowtech.com Very Interesting.

good day to all...

Bowen Technic

This innovative holistic bodywork was developed by Tom Bowen in

Australia in the mid-1950s. It is now practiced in 31 countries and

taught in over 20. On this website, you'll find descriptions of

Bowtech and its history, testimonials by clients and students, and

information about the internationally standard training curriculum and seminars

that lead to recognition as an Accredited Bowen Practitioner.

How Bowen works

Several mechanisms have been postulated as to how the Bowen Technique

works. The basic Bowen " move " distorts a muscle or tendon

that is not under load and then rolls over it at a precise location

without sliding on the skin. As a result, the spindle cells and Golgi

tendon organs down-regulate the muscle's resting tension level via

the central nervous system. The surrounding fascia becomes less solid

and more fluid, allowing greater movement of blood and lymph through

the tissue, and enhancing nutrition to and waste removal from the

site of injury.

The lack of distracting skin stimulation and the limited number of

precise moves focus the nervous system's attention on the

essential points. Pausing at certain crucial times in a sequence of

such moves allows time for the nervous system and fascia to respond

and begin the healing process. The body continues to respond for

several days afterward unless interrupted by injury or strong

external stimulation, including trauma, heat and bodywork.
