Bowen Technique

with David Blackwell, BSc, MAMH, MBTER

The Bowen Technique is a remarkable therapy which promotes healing and pain relief through the re-alignment and relaxation of fascia, muscle and soft tissue.

The technique uses gentle, rolling-type movements made with the fingers and thumbs at precise locations on the body and is interspersed with short breaks, where the client is left resting to allow the treatment to be absorbed.

Each treatment is holistic and addresses the whole body, although problem areas will receive greater attention. Bowen encourages the body to re-align itself; there is no manipulation or adjustment of hard tissue and no force is used or needed. The healing process is initiated during the treatment and may continue for up to 7 days afterwards.

These are just a few conditions Bowen Technique has successfully treated:-

· Sports Injuries & Accident Trauma

· Headaches/Migraine

· Respiratory & Asthma

· Hayfever & Sinus · Back Pain & Sciatica · Menstural Disorders

· Frozen Shoulder & Tennis Elbow

· Fluid Retention · Carpal Tunnel Syndrome & RSI · Knee & Ankle Injuries  · Neck Pain, inc. Whiplash

· Digestive Difficulties · Groin Strain & Pelvic Problems · Postural Issues  

· Joint & Muscle Pain · Stress

Bowen is suitable for people of all ages, including babies, and all levels of health. The treatment can be performed through light clothing, so it is best to avoid wearing jeans or other heavy materials. You are welcome to bring lighter clothes to change into.

Three treatments, at weekly intervals, are often sufficient to achieve lasting relief from even long standing pain. Please note: treatment time is dependent on the needs of the individual and can take anywhere between 25 minutes to an hour.

Please note: payment is made directly to David Blackwell on the day of your appointment. At present, David can only accept cash or cheques. Thank you.
