MIGRAINES
Here’s how Bowen Therapy may help with migraines:
⸻
1. Releases Muscle Tension
• Migraine pain is often linked to tension in the neck, shoulders, and upper back.
• Bowen moves can relax tight muscles and improve posture, which may help reduce migraine triggers.
2. Improves Nervous System Regulation
• Bowen Therapy is thought to stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system, which promotes relaxation and healing.
• This may help reduce stress-induced migraines by calming the body’s stress response.
3. Enhances Blood Flow and Lymphatic Drainage
• Better circulation can help reduce inflammation and support detoxification.
• This might relieve some symptoms like head pressure, throbbing, or nausea.
4. Addresses TMJ Dysfunction
• Many migraine sufferers have issues with jaw tension or misalignment.
• Bowen Therapy includes techniques to relax the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), which may help.
5. Individualized Approach
• Bowen sessions are tailored to each person, so if migraines are linked to posture, hormones, or specific muscle patterns, a practitioner can target those areas.
