Bowen therapy is the most profound relaxation therapy technique on the world. It grounds on the thesis that if we reach the relaxation of the whole body that activates the inner ability of the body which can reach every problem in the body and mind – and it restore the balance and harmony.

Bowen method is an unique way of neuromuscular rebuild. It works not only on the construction and muscular level through the nervous system but on the lymph and circular system as well. It is famous because of its effect on the inner statement and development of rehabilitation. Bowen therapy is a new category in the function and work of the body. It cannot be hailed from or get connected with other techniques, physical possibilities

The displaced bones can move to their right position even though no joint or bone manipulation or spinal therapy is used.It can solve the tension in muscles and recover the right lymph circulation despite there is no clench on the muscles as in a normal massage.The energy meridians shows instant improvement notwithstanding that the work is not based on the meridians and is not similar to acupuncture or acupressure.Inner psychical changes are frequent despite of it is not needed to get emotional reaction as in the mind-body therapy.Almost every patient reflects a pleasant, relaxedstatement and a deep well-feeling graceful sentiment.

There are delicate movements in Bowen therapy which is made by the thumbs and other fingers of the therapist during the muscles and connecting tissues on the naked skin or through the clothes. These movements send messages to the deep of the body regain the cell-memory and a better organized, relaxed, balanced mode of well-life. Between every motion sequence some minute pause is needed when the patient has rest on his/her own till the body process the message and start the recovery.

There can be remarkable results after the first therapy as the body continues its self-recover in the following days. Very often only a few times is needed for influence the present statement. The doctor can address a special problem or the whole body as unit.Terms have to be on every seventh day.Different from other therapies Bowen therapy does not use strong manipulation. The therapist does not make the body to “do what the therapist says”. He or she lets the body to do its own work to recover itself in its time.

How works the Bowen therapy?

There is several theories about the operation of the Bowen therapy. One of them says the movements stimulate the receptors by the end of the peripheral nervous system. This stimulates the body for rebuilding and restores the healthy, naturally statement. These receptors are in charge for the detection of the position of the body, the movements of the body on the connecting tissues, muscles, tendons and inside of the fascia of the muscle.

The most important role has so called nocireceptors. These are very sensible for malicious stimulation which can potential or actually damage the body’s tissues. These can be called pain receptors as well but this is a bit misguiding as the pain materializes on a higher level of the brain. Nocireceptors can be found in the most organ of the body but it is frequented in fascias of the muscle and connective tissues (fiber case which fixes and covers muscles, tissues or other organs). The fascia parts the space between the muscles, muscle systems till the microscopic size. It allows optimal and healthy fluid flow by the muscles and joints.  

If the body gets injured for example a toe breaks the nocireceptors send a reflex reaction through the efferent fiber (with 70-120 meter/sec) to the thalamus which places in the brain. It processes the information and sends an answer to the place of the trauma that the recovery should start with the tension of the muscle and the inflammation of the area.

If the pain takes long time the muscle stays compressed to safe the painful area, and it causes dysfunction or limited move in the tissue. When the bones recover the patient still limps as the muscle still limits the move.

With every move of the Bowen therapy the fascia gets impulse and is confused but not with violence. In this way the muscle slowly relaxes, the connective tissue softens and the strain of the muscle and the fascia decreases. Consequently the muscle and bone systems can use the whole strength potential and the nerves, veins and lymph nodes have possibility for the optimal work. Through the moves of the Bowen therapy the nocireceptors can communicate the not harmful impulses to the central nervous system, which answers with relaxing command to the neighbor tissues of the injured part.
