-
Bowen is not Chiropractic. There is no manipulation of your joints or bone structure, making it completely non invasive.
-
Bowen is not Massage Therapy. There is no deep or prolonged contact with muscle tissues – however, muscle tensions and strains are relieved and normal lymphatic flow is restored.
-
Bowen is not Acupressure. Although some traditional acсupuncture points are included in the sequences, they are not addressed or organized in anything resembling Chinese medical theory.
-
There is no heavy probing of fascia or connective tissue as in Rolfing or deep-tissue work – however, fascia re-hydrates, adhesions release and scar tissue softens and shrinks.
-
Bowen is not an Emotional Release Modality. There is no strategic ‘duress’ or invoking of emotional content as in “mind-body” therapies – however, internal psychological shifts are very common.
-
Bowen is not Energy Work. There is no redirecting of energies, however nearly everyone reports a pleasant trance, and a profound sense of well-being and ease.
