I often get asked "What actually is Bowen Therapy"?
Well, one of the fundamentals of this unique modality is that we, as therapists, work with the fascia.
The fascia is simply another word for the connective tissue in your body.
It is everywhere. Under your skin, between your organs, around your joints, it surrounds your muscles, just everywhere. It forms a continuous net.
Any meat eater has seen fascia before. Its the thin white fibre between the layers of muscle in your steak.
Technically it is also the muscles and all the other soft tissue that is in your body, but its enriched with minerals and salts so that it hardens and forms these other tissues.
So basically your body does not contain water as such, it contains fluid fascia.
And because this fascia connects every inch of your body, it is called 'connective tissue'.
Whilst this amazing tissue connects everything throughout the body, it also holds the blood system, lymphatic system and muscles. Stress, poor posture, trauma, injury and repetitive movement can tighten the fibres of the fascia so that one or all of the above systems are effected.
This is were we Bowen therapists come in. We utilise touch to restore the viscosity (fluidity) of the fascia so that the blood, lymph, and muscles can flow and work properly again.
