(Saskatchewan) Bowen Massage
Description
Appointment times include intake, assessment, and instruction on strengthening and/or stretching as required for an effective treatment and assist in recovery. * Bowen Therapy is a unique approach to stimulating the body's natural healing ability, so it is sometimes challenging to describe to those who have not experienced it. There is no therapy like it in the world. While the work is gentle and non-invasive, the effective practice of it is very specific and precise. (The terms BowenWork, Bowen Technique, BowTech, Bowen Session, Bowen Therapy are all interchangeable and all mean the same treatment.) * Bowen Therapy involves gentle, yet powerful movements on muscle and connective tissue. These movements prompt soft tissue release, sending neurological impulses to the brain. Because the impulses travel through the internal nervous system pathways, they stimulate whole-brain responses, which address every system in the body - internal organ systems as well as musculoskeletal structure. * Pauses are inserted between sets of these movements, which allow the brain time to process and send messages to realign the body. It is thought that because the whole brain is stimulated, the original genetic pattern is re-awakened, and the more recent injury and compensation patterns are released. Respecting these pauses is an essential component of Bowen Therapy, for it allows the body sufficient time to remember and restore its own healthy, natural balance.
