A Bowen
Quantum Natural Health Session,
when
Chiropractic and Physical Therapy have not given you the results you expected.
A Bowen Quantum Natural
Health Treatment lasts about 30-60 minutes. Your practitioner
"rolls" over the muscles with their thumbs or fingers, which causes the muscles
to relax.
The
Treatment is usually done through loose clothing or directly
on the skin. No oils are used.
The Bowen
technique moves are done in groups. Between some of the sets,
there are pauses of 2-5 minutes to allow the body to relax and respond.
The Moves send out signals which:
* release tension;
* stimulate energy flow;
* facilitate lymphatic drainage of toxins and waste;
* promote good circulation;
* increase mobility;
* encourage the body to relax, realign and heal itself.
Some people feel shifts and changes in their bodies during and after a Bowen
Quantum Natural Health session. While many experience immediate pain relief, improvement is just as
likely to unfold over the next few days to a week. Bowen is not an on-going
modality and two or three treatments are
usually enough to achieve long-lasting relief. Even long-term conditions may
respond very quickly. The ideal situation is to have the Bowen Technique
for 2-3 sessions, once per week, without having any other kind of
bodywork in between.
How does it work?
The Bowen Quantum Natural
Health Technique affects the body primarily through the nervous and the
bio-energetic systems, to bring it into a state of balance.
Why
are Pauses so important?
A
unique feature of the Bowen FK Technique is that there are frequent
pauses. These breaks are crucial in your Bowen Quantum treatment
in order to allow the body to respond to the messages and begin to make its own
healing adjustments. By applying hands on Quantum Energy directly to any
problem areas of the body during these waiting periods,
the healing responses are greatly enhanced and results in a faster healing
process.
Autonomic nervous system rebalancing
The autonomic nervous system controls over 80% of bodily functions (cardiac,
respiratory, peripheral circulation, reproductive, endocrine, gastrointestinal)
and is very susceptible to stress and emotional tensions. For healing to happen,
the body needs to shift from sympathetic (fight/ flight mode) to parasympathetic
(vegetative mode) dominance. For this to happen, it needs time and space to
literally unwind and "digest" physical and emotional stress. The
Bowen
Quantum Natural Health
Technique facilitates these positive shifts.
Stretch Reflex
Most Bowen FK Technique moves are done either at the origin, insertion or belly of fascia
or muscles, where the Golgi and Spindle nerve receptors are located. These
receptors inform the nervous system of the state of tension, length or stretch
in the fascia, muscles and tendons and are stimulated during the rolling part of
the Bowen FK therapy movement.
Lymphatic circulation
The Bowen Fascial Kinetic Technique stimulates lymphatic circulation and drainage.
Spinal reflexes
Many of the Bowen FK moves are performed along the spine over the erector
muscles (two thick columns of heavy muscles on either side of the spinal column
which run from the base of the pelvis to almost the full length of the spine).
These moves appear to produce referred reactions to other areas of the body.
Often people will mention that conditions were addressed, other than the one for
which they originally sought consultation, - even though the practitioner didn't
know about them (e.g., improved digestion, elimination circulation or sleep).
Fascia
The fascia, sheets of connective tissue, connect everything in the body:
muscles, bones, internal organs and central nervous system. They play a major
role in muscle coordination, flexibility, postural alignment and overall
structural and functional integrity. The Bowen FK technique moves free the relationship
between the fascia and the nerve, muscle or tendon being addressed.
Acupuncture Points and Meridians
The
Bowen Quantum Natural
Health Technique stimulates circulation of energy and clears energetic
blocks. Coincidentally, several of the moves are located along acupuncture
meridians or on specific acupuncture points which are known to stimulate and
balance the body's energy.
What Happens?
A Bowen FK Technique move consists of mild finger pressure against the side of a muscle or
tendon for about three seconds, then a rolling movement over the top of the
muscle or tendon, then a release, which allows the muscle or tendon to spring
back to its normal position. Bowen FK moves are often performed in pairs - called
"stoppers" that contain the effects of subsequent moves within a
limited area.
The fascia, muscles or tendons are moved to create an impulse that rebounds
from the stoppers back and forth for about two minutes until the area relaxes
completely. This relaxation response is most probably mediated by the golgi
tendon apparatus. When the tendon is pressed sideways, then released, the golgi
apparatus sends an impulse to the spinal cord that causes a relaxation reflex in
the muscle.
