With the Bowen Technique, 70% of patients’ conditions resolve in just 3 to 7 treatments. Many problems which are difficult to treat with other therapies respond well to the gentle, non-invasive approach of Bowen. Difficult to treat problems, with which Meryl has had good success using the Bowen Technique include: frozen shoulder, sciatica, plantar fasciitis and fibromyalgia.
The Bowen Technique is a dynamic system of muscle and connective tissue therapy developed in the 1950′s by the late Tom Bowen of Australia. This celebrated therapist regularly treated over 13,000 patients a year. His unique system uses gentle moves on soft tissue to stimulate energy flow and empower the body’s own healing resources. Like homeopathy, the Bowen Technique stimulates the body to heal itself and to regain balance.
The Bowen Technique is unlike most other forms of bodywork. It does not involve deep massage, or adjustment of the body structure. There is no forceful separation of fascia or directing of energy by the practitioner. Many of the Bowen moves coincide with acupuncture points, but it is not acupressure.
