Bowen Therapy

The Bowen technique is a dynamic therapeutic system applied to muscles and connective tissue, based on the transmission of small well-controlled impulses to the nervous system. Acting holistically, the therapy activates the body's own self-healing mechanisms. It is beneficial for all ages and at any stage of health.

By applying Bowtech (Bowen Original Technique) it is usually obtained to alleviate many specific diseases and other health problems, whether acute or chronic. The therapist transmits signals to the nervous system at different specific locations (working on muscles, tendons, ligaments or nerves), and the body does the rest, responding at its own pace and according to its possibilities. Unlike other manual disciplines, in which the therapist imposes body corrections on the treatment applied, the Bowen technique allows the body to heal itself, with minimal external intervention.

How does Bowtech work?

In addition to rebalancing the nervous system, Bowtech movements and procedures can reset the body to heal itself, through the nervous and endocrine systems, among other things by activating the following mechanisms:

• Stretching reflex: most movements are applied either on the origin, insertion or belly of the muscles, where the receptors are located that inform the nervous system on the state of tension or stretching of the muscle-tendon tissues. By stimulating these receptors, the muscle pain / spasm loop changes.
• Proprioceptors of the joints: the movements applied in the area of ​​the joints affect the capsule of the joint and the ligaments strongly innervated with proprioceptors. The stimuli are taken over by the nervous system, initiating the normalization of the functioning of the joint, without the need for forceful maneuvers.
• Fascia: each Bowen movement is performed at the superficial level of the fascia and affects the relationship between the fascia and the nerves, muscles or tendons that are operated. The fascia plays an important role in muscle coordination, postural alignment, etc. All of these are affected when the fascia is stiff, contracted, twisted or dehydrated. Following a Bowen session, it is often observed that the adhesions dissolve, the scarred tissues soften and the posture and mobility improve, without force maneuvers or stretches.
• Certain Bowen movements involve viscero-somatic spinal reflexes, which produce reactions accordingly on the internal organs, by stimulating the skin, muscles and nerves.
• Most movements overlap acupuncture points, some crossing two or even three meridians.
• Bowen movements create a vibrational pattern that restores the body to a state of balance and harmony (the model of harmonic or resonant vibration).
• Lymphatic system: some Bowen procedures activate lymphatic drainage, stimulating the immune system.
• The detoxification process is often initiated as a result of Bowen treatments, improving the body's ability to function optimally at the cellular level.
