Bowen-Therapy

Bowen Therapy is a gentle method that supports the rebalancing of the body and the relaxation and stimulation of self regulatory mechanisms.

This method includes a number of specific and precise movements that are executed by muscles, ligaments, and tendons. Gentle moves are employed in areas where two muscles or groups of muscles overlap. An important aspect of the treatment are the breaks (2 min.) between these groups of moves. These pauses allow the body to absorb the information and process it in a meaningful way.
This form of therapy guides self regulatory mechanisms through the achievement of swift and deep relaxation of the affected structures and leads to a dissolution of energetic blockages. A sustained strengthening of the immune system is achieved while a balancing effect of the intervention on psychological and emotional processes takes place.
