Bowen Therapy with Kate Lewis
Bowen Therapy with Kate Lewis
Bowen Therapy encourages the body to heal at its maximum rate. The practitioner makes gentle movements over key reference points on muscles, ligaments and tendons. This sets up vibrations which penetrate deep into the whole body encouraging alignment and balance.
The therapy addresses the whole body as a single unit rather than just the presenting problems. Because it is holistic, it encourages optimal health in every aspect of a person's life, be it physical, chemical or emotional.
During a treatment there are frequent pauses which allow the body to respond to what is being asked of it and start the healing process. Bowen continues healing the body for 3 - 5 days following a treatment. As other manipulative therapies may interrupt this process and undermine its effectiveness, it is recommended that the client wait a week before starting any other manual therapy.
