DC Bowen Therapy Mudgee

DC Bowen Therapy Mudgee Bowen is a gentle soft tissue therapy that can help with pain and improve posture and mobility. It is practiced in over 25 countries around the world.

BOWEN THERAPY is a unique, gentle & effective method that allows the body to activate it's own healing ability. The Bowen method is a dynamic technique of muscle & connective tissue release that started a revolution in health care over 50 years ago. The amazing feature of Bowen Therapy is a series of precise, gentle & painless pressure moves that can be applied over clothing. The body's integrated response improves circulation, lymphatic drainage, aids in the assimilation of nutrients & elimination of toxins, joint mobility & posture. Bowen also balances the physical, mental & emotional planes. Bowen therapy is safe for everyone from pregnant women to newborns, the frail and the elderly. Treatment sessions can last from 30 to 50 minutes, depending on the range of conditions and age.

An aspiring lawn bowler was having difficulty.

During tuition it was noticed that she was unable to fully externally rotate (supinate) her bowling arm, meaning her hand was angled about 40 degrees to the left when the bowl left her right hand.

She (perhaps incorrectly) attributed this to a childhood finger injury.

A short treatment involving muscle testing and gentle corrections of the bones in the affected wrist and elbow allowed my client to immediately fully externally rotate her arm.
Her husband looked on in disbelief.

Sometimes it can be simple.

I’m looking forward to hearing how the bowling goes 😊

Jaw / TMJ issues can be distressing.

Neck / shoulder tension, teeth grinding, injury /trauma, recent dental / orthontic work and stress can all play a role.

However, TMJ issues are often not isolated to the jaw itself.

The jaw has connections with the upper body, pelvis, legs and feet via the myofascial system. A system of highly innervated connective tissue that holds us together like a system of strings and pulleys, or tent ropes.

Bowen addresses the whole body, not just the symptom.

I sometimes think I’d like to be a fly on the wall when people try to explain Bowen to others.

Because it is a bit different to other treatments due to its gentle nature. And the unique short pauses to allow the body time to respond to each individual procedure sets it apart from other therapies.

Men can tend to be a bit more colourful with their explanations when speaking among themselves. Especially when they’ve come from a “no pain no gain” attitude which many of us have been conditioned with.

A new male client was referred by his workmate from a local Coal mine who had experienced good results.

With hip pain that had been causing him grief for months, his workmate in the end told him “just make an appointment, if it doesn’t work I’ll pay for it.”

Pretty good insurance really !

My new client was very happy to leave without pain and eagerly made a follow up appointment.

And it was agreed that his co-workers money was safe.

So thanks for telling your friends about it, especially the blokes, who sometimes need a bit more convincing 😀🙏

One of my clients brought a pair of high heels along to her Bowen treatment in a bag.

She wears them occasionally for business meetings, but she was frustrated that one heel kept slipping out of the shoe when she walked in them.

She was curious as to whether I could do anything to address the problem.

I wasn’t really sure, but my treatment focused on her hip pain, working on pelvic and foot tension and balancing her pelvis.

At the end of the treatment I nervously watched as she put her high heels on to see if it helped.

After walking around with them she was satisfied that they felt even and the affected foot was no longer slipping in the shoe.

“That’s another thing you can put on your CV.” She joked.

An unusual measure of success, but you learn something every day 😀🙏

It’s that time of year again !

The roses at the front gate are a nice welcome.

Do you think a roll of carpet would be too much ? 😃

5 weeks post hip replacement surgery.

My client limped in feeling residual stiffness and pain in the affected hip.

He was also feeling lop sided like one leg was lomger.

This gentle treatment was able to address the soft tissue dysfunctions which were causing his left hip to appear high when standing and his right leg to be short whilst lying on his back (supine)

My client left feeling straighter, more balanced and without the limp he walked in with. He also had much less tension through his hip.

He was also reassured that the surgery hadn’t left him with one leg shorter than the other. 🙏

Friday afternoon scar tales !

A story to finish the week.

My final client today had left arm problems.
She was experiencing pain, numbness and weakness in the arm and hand.

Some initial assessments drew my attention to an old snallpox scar on her upper arm. When I pressed and held the scar my client felt relief in her arm.

She also presented with lower back pain and pelvic rotations. Lying on the treatment table one leg was short.

First and foremost, I addressed the shoulder scar with MSTR, which immediately relieved the arm pain and numbness.

The scar tissue work also balanced her right ilium (pelvic bone) which reflected in her leg lengths becoming even.

We did some more work, which resulted in her able to walk out and into the weekend pain free.

This is just a snap shot of my week.

I continue to be amazed by the different ways the body connects and interacts.

And how this gentle work can be so effective in relieving pain and restoring function.

Yes, I find it exciting , even late on a Friday afternoon 😀

Chronic pain following surgery. A great outcome !

(I’ve recycled this post from 2020)

I recently spoke to a client I treated almost 3 years ago. She allowed me to share her Bowen experience and I’m glad she did, because hers was one of the most memorable Bowen treatments and outcomes that I’ve carried out.

My client for 26 years had been suffering severe pain in her right scapula (shoulder blade) since she had undergone open heart surgery in 1991.
The pain could not be explained by her doctors and over the years she had been on heavy pain medications and tried many different treatments to no avail.

It was interfering with every aspect of her life including sleep and any kind of physical activity. She described the pain as radiating under the shoulder blade and was sometimes excruciating.

She decided to try Bowen.

During her treatment, she experienced tingling in the troublesome shoulder blade, which continued for some time afterwards. (This type of tingling during treatment is quite normal, although some clients don’t experience this.)

On returning for her 2nd (and final) treatment, she was in disbelief that the scapula pain had disappeared within days. Although she wasn’t getting her hopes up too much in case it returned.

Just before Christmas the following year I received a phone call from her and she said something like “I just want to say thank you so much. That pain hasn’t come back. You have changed my life and I just wanted to tell you that before Christmas.”

3 years on and the pain still hasn’t returned.

This is one example of how effective the human body can be in repairing itself once it’s given the right conditions and stimulus to do so.

If you are suffering any kind of pain whether it’s a new injury or long term (chronic), Bowen may help and I would suggest is certainly worth a try.

(Note: Everybody responds at different rates to treatment and often more than two treatments are required for chronic conditions.)

I have a client who became quadriplegic almost 50 years ago after an accident.

I’ve been treating him fortnightly for the past 12 or so months after his mobility deteriorated and pain levels increased during the past few years.

Sitting in his chair has encouraged his head to progressively fall forward which has led to increasing and debilitating neck pain.

His only good arm has also become less mobile, with pain in his elbow and numbness in his hand.

We have been able to significantly reduce his neck pain and he is now able to turn his head further from side to side and sit up straighter.

A couple of times on my visits to his home of late he has insisted on showing off. He puts various coins on the table and commences to pick them up individually with his fingertips. This is his measure of success, when he has greater sensation and control with his fingers.

Of note, some of my recent treatments have involved treating a scar on the front of his neck / throat. The scar was from 2 trachaectomy surgeries performed after his original accident.

Remarkably, he has reported that the most lasting relief he feels is following the treatments when the scar is addressed.

We enjoy catching up for our fortnightly treatments. He has a great sense of humour and as well as us both getting excited about his small improvements, we enjoy each other’s company.

And a bit of banter 😀

Hope is everything really.

It’s something that Bowen can provide as a usually “unspoken” side effect.

We often talk about Bowen offering pain relief, balance, relaxation, improved sleep ,digestion and mobility etc, but optimism for the future regarding injuries, surgeries and chronic pain is very important for motivation and emotional wellbeing.

Chronic issues can get you down and many new Bowen clients experience renewed hope if they experience pain relief, especially when other conventional treatments have been unable to provide this.

As was the case with a new client recently who broke 2 vertebra in her back 13 years ago and has since endured 2 surgeries.

Her constant sciatic pain has significantly reduced since starting Bowen treatment, something she had accepted as not possible after all this time.

And to leave each session pain free has given her a glimpse of how good her body can feel.

Yes, I’ve said it before, I love my job. 😊
