BOWEN WITH MARDI – BOWEN THERAPY IN TORQUAY
What is Bowen Therapy ?
Bowen Therapy is a natural soft-tissue technique that promotes relief from musculoskeletal and neurological related complaints.
Positively affecting both mental and physical health, Bowen is a gentle modality that encourages the mind and body to relax and rebalance.
Bowen Therapy treatments are :
- Gentle;
- Relaxing; and
- Assist with stress, injuries and pain management using a non-invasive technique.
A Bowen practitioner makes small but meaningful moves over certain points in the body. Physical pain, stress and anxiety, and mental exhaustion all take a huge toll on the mind and body. The moves made in a treatment mainly address the nervous system. Each move provides a stimulus (message) to the nervous system which encourages it to shift to the rest, relax, repair state. Being in this state allows the mind and body to relax when then promotes healing from within.
The body is amazing, it communicates with itself via chemical and electrical signals. The Bowen technique recognises the connection the body as as a whole, therefore by treating the body as a whole as well as addressing the specific area of concern, the body is able to receive the appropriate stimuli to begin to heal itself collectively. Bowen not only works with the musculoskeletal framework, but also influences and engages the nerves, fascia and internal organs.
Think of your body like a car. If you don’t take your car in for a service, it will begin to have problems. Your body is very similar, if you don’t look after it you are more likely to experience preventable injuries. Bowen with Mardi aims to promote the body and mind to re-align and re-balance itself. When the body and mind are calm and balances, you have more energy to be active. When the body is in alignment, it is less prone to injuries, therefore giving you an improved performance overall.
