How does it work?

The muscles, which hold our bodies in the correct alignment, can sometimes be compromised by overuse, habitual bad posture, injury, dehydration, physical injury or emotional stress. The muscle tension created can irritate or damage nerve endings, which often results in symptoms of pain or discomfort.

The Bowen moves are made at very precise points over muscles, tendons, ligaments and fascia. The move generates a nerve signal which is processed by the brain. The brain may respond by sending key message signals back through the body with instructions on how to reset its emotional and physical tension patterns. Hence the body would autonomicly try to correct its misalignment and return it to a position of natural health. Just like you do not have to concentrate on to heal a wound, or mend broken bones, all the adjustments would happen without conscious control as fast as the body allows it.

As the tension releases, the muscles relax around the nerves reducing the experience of pain and improving blood flow to the affected area. This in turn increases the supply of nutrition and excretion of toxins from the area. As the muscles relax, they also loosen their grip around other internal structures e.g. stomach, liver, heart, lymphatic vessels etc allowing these to work under the best possible conditions.
