Bowen Therapy is a very simple and dynamic procedure utilising a “cross-fibre muscle release technique” which accesses the bodies ability to heal itself and realign the body to its optimum ability. Basically, it brings your body back to balance by remembering your old body memory – the one that used to be pain-free and mobile.

Bowen Therapy is a very solid and physical practice of pain management practised worldwide applying small, specific manipulations to the muscles and tendons.

It is not considered massage and can be done through light clothing, there are regular pauses between muscle manipulations to enable the body time to reset and heal itself – these are very important for your body to heal.

The way a person relaxes into the treatment, breathes deeply and allows the body to readjust itself to a more balanced state is something quite unique in the bodywork world.

I have found that gentle exercises aids the healing process and help improve the body memory, I call these exercises ‘mini Bowens’ because they are very important and effective when used in conjunction with the treatment. There are a few important rules to stick by, these rules are essential to ensure the treatment is given the best chance possible.

Destress and Balance Your Mind and Body

Pregnancy

Bowen Therapy has been shown to alleviate pain and discomfort that is experienced during pregnancy.

The gentle cross-fibre muscle manipulations gently ease the body into a state of deep relaxation and at times a feeling of weightlessness. Bowen Therapy helps the body to keep its correct alignment and also relaxes the pelvic floor and diaphragm to allow more room for the baby to grow, thereby preventing the pain and pressure often experienced during those last few months.

Anxiety and Depression

There are many different types of anxiety, depression and stress, Bowen therapy can help you understand that you don’t need to feel that way, there is a different – more healthy way – to cope and it gives you a window of opportunity to change the way you are thinking and access your own intrinsic intelligence to heal yourself on many different levels.

What to Expect during a Bowen Session

How it starts….

We always start with you lying on your stomach ensuring you are as comfortable as possible.

And because the whole idea of Bowen Therapy is to balance you from top to bottom I always start at your hips. I’ve found that when the lower body is sitting nicely the upper body has a chance to rebalance itself correctly as well.

When we are ‘out of balance’ the entire body just doesn’t work well  read more….

TESTIMONIALS

“I have suffered pain in my neck, shoulder, back for many years. I was sick of taking pain relief & anti inflammatory tablets & not getting much relief. My wife suggested I try Bowen Therapy with Brigid. Even after the 1st treatment I felt some relief. I have now had several treatments & for the 1st time in years I am pain free. I also suffer from sleep apnea & don’t even use my machine anymore. I wake up feeling great. Thank you Brigid for giving me a pain free body & my life back.

– Peter Richards

“I came to you with chronic migraine with aura, I had been treated for 2 years previously by a GP with prescription drugs. This did not reduce the sometimes twice weekly occurrence of the attacks. I was never sure if the drugs actually reduced the intensity of the aura. I decided to try Bowen, I found Brigid and made an appointment. The morning of the appointment I had the most horrible attack. I called and she saw me right away. My pain was gone within 10 minutes! Amazing. After several treatments I went months without any attacks.

There are not many physicians I trust. With a non-pathology outlook it is difficult to find someone to work with you. Most ‘experts’ try to steer you toward their ideals and convince you to do it their way. As an intuitive, I can say without question that Brigid is not that kind of healer/teacher. Sometimes there’s more going on than meets the eye and you need someone who can talk to you in a language that makes sense. Whatever your situation, Brigid is honest, supportive, practical and definitely value for money. I know Brigid cares about people, especially the ones that come for help. I trust that she look after them no matter what. And I appreciate the way I was handed back the power/responsibility to make informed choices about how they want to live while simultaneously offering to support new ways of being on the planet – diet, ideas, practices… It’s important not just to have expertise but to be interested and guided not just by the client but by the alchemy between the practitioner and the client.

This is from a woman who had lost 3 very close relatives within the last year and was feeling very depressed and unable to shift this emotional heaviness even after grief counselling.This is her Story “I went to Brigid to ask for treatment for grief. The only way to describe how I felt on my first visit is that I felt an internal ’emotional heaviness’. I now feel an emotional lightness and better able to work through the grief instead of feeling stuck. (This was after 3 Bowen Treatments) I am amazed and would not hesitate to recommend Bowen Therapy to anyone.”
