Bowen Technique

ph. 604-617-1463

Bowen Technique is a dynamic system of muscle and connective tissue therapy that encourages the body to release patterns of held tension. The practitioner applies small but measured inputs/signals to key points on the body at specific locations (including muscles, tendons, ligaments, or nerves), stimulating the body's ability to heal itself, often profoundly. Rather than focusing on a single symptom, the Bowen technique addresses the entire body, restoring balance via the autonomic nervous system (ANS). Bowen Technique seems to catalyze a shift between ANS over stimulation ('fight, flight or freeze' mode) to 'rest relax and repair mode', which is the state in which healing can occur.

How Does Bowen Technique work? In addition to the rebalancing of the ANS, Bowen Technique may reset the body to heal itself by activating the muscle stretch reflexes, the joint proprioceptors, fascia, segmental viscerosomatic spinal reflexes, acupuncture points and meridians, harmonic vibrational patterns, the lymphatic system, and detoxification.

Bowen technique is appropriate to use for individuals of all ages and in all degrees of health. The manipulations are gentle, and can be done through light clothing. Bowen can be used on a wide range of conditions, including:

  • Back pain and sciatica
  • Digestive and bowel problems
  • Earaches and TMJ problems
  • Migraines and other types of headaches
  • Fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome
  • Hip, knee, ankle, and foot problems
  • Menstrual and hormonal irregularities
  • Neck and shoulder problems (including 'frozen shoulder')
  • Groin pain, pelvic tilt, and functional leg length discrepancy
  • Respiratory problems and hay fever
  • RSI, carpal tunnel syndrome, and tennis elbow
  • Sports and other traumatic injuries
