Fair Oaks Bowen Therapy practices healing with the Bowen Technique, which utilizes small movements to the body, stimulating its own natural resources to heal itself.
This technique usually results in the relief of many specific injuries and other health problems, acute and chronic. It does so holistically, by using the body’s innate healing mechanisms. The practitioner delivers signals to the nervous system at specific locations (on muscles, tendons, ligaments, or nerves), and the body does the rest. The Bowen Technique is unique in the field of bodywork. It’s relatively few, gentle “moves” over muscle and other soft tissue address the entire body, stimulating it to reset and heal itself. A session may last from fifteen minutes to an hour. Most often, only a few sessions are needed to alleviate complaints, whether structural or functional, even if long-standing. Results are usually long lasting.
Bowen Therapy is appropriate for everyone from newborns to the very elderly and animals! It’s neither derived from nor similar to any other hands-on modality. It is generally agreed that it works primarily through the nervous system on both structural and energetic levels. Simply stated, Bowen Therapy allows the body to reset and heal itself, addressing the body as a whole unit rather than just the presenting symptoms. The physical, chemical, emotional and mental aspects of each person receiving treatments can all respond as needed.
