There are various schools of protocols originating from the teachings of Mr Tom Bowen, the founder of the Bowen Technique. The healing is not considered massage but rather a non invasive muscle release technique consisting of a series of gentle cross fibre moves that have long term benefits as long as the injury or pain is not re-aggravated.
Bowen Technique strives to find the origin of a problem and is therefore very effective for muscular-skeletal problems, including ankle, knee, lower back and neck pain.
Other problems addressed by the Bowen Technique include:
* Sciatic pain * Asthma * Dizziness * Frozen shoulder * Migraines * Repetitive Stress Injury (RSI) Whiplash * Carpal Tunnel Syndrome * Many muscle or joint pains of unknown origin.
A treatment usually requires the client to lie on a bed or treatment couch and can be performed through light clothing. Sessions can last from 30 minutes to an hour. It is usually recommended to have two to three sessions of the Bowen Technique with a break of 7 to 28 days between each session.
Paula’s regular clients have enjoyed benefits from 2- 14 years before the old injury re-surfaced, usually due to their busy lifestyles and having to work in their chosen fields.
