How does the Bowen Technique work?
This is a soft tissue therapy working on muscles, ligaments and
tendons. The release experienced in the muscle bed allows the
muscle to relax, gain length and be able to receive adequate blood
supply and essential oxygen. Sports performers are often
unbalanced. Single muscles can seize creating wider problems
in the groups that surround them. This will directly
influence range of movement, create restriction and often
pain. Acute injuries need to be addressed to make sure the
body does not compensate for the damage and develop other
difficulties. Chronic injuries (those of more than 6 weeks
duration) have layers of other restrictions which need to be unravelled
to access the root cause.
Initial treatment requires only three or four sessions with management sessions recommended every three months.
