Bowen & Emmett Technique

St Annes Bowen & Emmett Clinic

"Give your body an MOT"

Your body can be likened to a fine racing car that works best when it is in tune, all parts working in harmony to make the machine operate at optimum capability. If one component is broken or worn its effects are felt throughout the entire engine or body.

What’s Bowen Like?

Bowen Therapy is extremely gentle, being likened to "having a conversation with your body" NO MOVES ARE MANIPULATIVE OR PAINFUL,instead of forcing the will of the therapist onto the client in an attempt to move hard structures, Bowen works on the soft tissue surrounding the structures, which are pain free, a change in this allows a change to take place in the bones and joints

How many treatments should I have?

Many ailments are greatly improved or completely resolved after 3 to 6 sessions, even long standing chronic conditions. Once resolved although no more treatments are required, maintenance/top-up treatments are recommended every 4 to 6 weeks. This enables your body to become more flexible, stronger and healthier.

How does it work?

A new anatomical map is being discovered in the form of fascia, the connective tissue matrix just below the skin that surrounds and is integral to all our muscles and organs. Fascia gives us our shape and acts as an entire communication and movement system.

This amazing engineering system of fascia, that allows force to be distributed through the body, does however encounter problems. Twisting, jumping or taking an impact in sport, lifting, digging or indeed any repetitive action or prolonged stress can cause a build up of collagen fibres within the fascia matrix, creating blockages in the particular area of loading or stress.

Bowen works directly in these areas to redistribute the fascial load across the whole system, like taking your foot off a hosepipe, allowing thenormal flow of blood and lymph drainage, this leads to healing of the area and all of the structures on the same pathway. Bowens embrace therefore often extends beyond the presenting symptoms to underlying physical, chemical, emotional and mental causes of complaints.

Bowen Therapy deals with the body as a whole, the advantage of dealing with the whole and not just concentrating on a specific injury is that for e.g. a knee injury, although injured, it may be getting injured because of a pelvic tilt or a problem in the back. If we only fix the knee then it will be just a matter of time before the injury occurs again, your body is a continual structure and not made up of separate parts, therefore any remedial therapy needs to deal with the whole body to have lasting effects as with Bowen Therapy.
