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.

I don’t want to jinx myself, but even small wins are worth celebrating. 😄

It’s been a slow and steady process, but my FB page has just ticked over 1000 followers.

Not that numbers matter.

It’s taken 9 years, but it just goes to show that this gentle soft tissue therapy continues to grow in popularity.

Thanks for your support. 🙏🎉🎉🎉

Some come for a tune up.

Others need a full service.

Most need their pelvis balanced (or a wheel alignment)

Whatever your needs, Bowen will help get better mileage.

The key is to not leave it until the wheels fall off completely. 😄

Orthodontic work can be uncomfortable (if not painful) especially after adjustments.

I can vouch for this from my teenage experience.

Bowen can help the body adjust to orthodontic treatment and reduce pain.

The teeth and jaw (temporomandibular joint) TMJ affect the surrounding connective tissue, nerves and bones of the face, head and neck.

Not to mention their correlation with the pelvis and other parts of the body.

Yes, the TMJ can be a big deal.

I saw a client who was recovering from a recent Colonoscopy.

She had a lingering pain in her abdominal area, which she described as “like a punch in the stomach”.

She made the appointment for her neck pain and headache, but during the treatment we were also able to address the abdominal issue.

At the end of her trestment the abdominal pain had disappeared and over a week later she sent me this message;

“Thank you so much. I felt like my body was in a dark shadow and then during the treatment it felt like a warm light washing over me like a wave. It’s so powerful, I felt better instantly and it kept working throughout the week”.

People describe what they feel during treatment in different ways.

I like this description 😊

“My knee is pain free and not clicking for the first time since 2014 !”

(re post from 2023)

My client excitedly called me today to tell me the news.

She sustained a work injury to her knee in 2014 and subsequently had Arthroscopy surgery.

Her knee never fully recovered and she has suffered pain since. My client also experiences a horrible clicking to the outside of her knee on certain movements and has worn a knee guard daily.

She had been getting great relief following previous Bowen treatments for her knee and the aches and pains in other parts of her body had disappeared. But varying degrees of knee pain lingered.

After her last treatment, again her knee pain had improved, but was still painful under the lateral side of her knee cap.

We decided to address the arthroscopy surgery scars (only small) with MSTR. (McLoughlin Scar Tissue Release)

During the MSTR treatment she felt varying sensations through her knee including heat and tingling. And after the treatment - Bingo ! She felt immediate relief.

And a week later she is still pain free, no clicking and feels no need for her knee guard.

As a soft tissue therapist I’m becoming increasingly fascinated by the impact that scars can have on the body and the role that they can sometimes play in unresolved pain.

********* Sometimes surgery, no matter how necessary and effective it may be can also create other problems that need to be addressed. *********

Meet Glenn 😊

Just before Christmas 9 years ago I gave him a Bowen treatment.
He called me two days later and said
“it’s the first time in 20 years that I’ve got no pain anywhere in my body”

I’d completed my training and had just received my Bowen qualification and from the moment of his phone call, I knew I was onto something special.

Glenn had a life changing accident 50 years ago and has been unable to take pain medication for many years due to their side effects.

In recent years Glenn’s mobility has declined and his pain had become more persistent.

We reconnected and Glenn has been having regular fortnightly Bowen treatments for the past year. He’s also had the benefit of the further skills I’ve learnt over the years.

The treatments are done with him sitting in his chair in his home. Between us, we have been able to reduce his pain significantly and improve his neck mobility and the function of his arm and hand.

I’m told that the constant pain and numbness in has hand is now almost non existent.

Glenn’s message about Bowen Therapy ?

“Don’t knock it until you’ve tried it. The treatment is painless and It works. Much better than pain killers.”

Who can argue with that ? ❤️

(Thanks Glenn for allowing me to share our story 🙏❤️)

I’ve been reflecting over the past week.

I recently treated one of my original clients from 9 years ago almost to the day.

Back then I was working out of a massage therapists clinic in Lovejoy Street whilst I was completing my Bowen Therapy Training.. I qualified in the December.

I’d be in Sydney doing practical lessons over weekends and on that Monday morning I’d have a handful of blokes from the local men’s shed lined up for treatments so I could practice what I learnt whilst it was still fresh in my mind.

Very early in the piece I knew that this therapy was often very effective, both through my own experience of having Bowen and through what my clients experienced in the relief of their pain.

It was very easy for me to become passionate about it, but most of all, I enjoyed doing it. (And still do).

Yes I’ve learnt a lot more over the years, but my pasion for it hasn’t waned. 🙏

When I see new clients I get them to fill out a form.

When marking the areas of pain, it’s not meant to be a colouring-in exercise, but in reality, this can sometimes be the case.

Whether through ignoring pain for too long or seeking Bowen treatment through desperation when nothing else seems to be working, first time clients are often in an element of distress.

Most of the time I’m able to provide relief in that first treatment, but I always recommend a follow up treatment (or more) to get the best possible outcome.

Especially in the case of chronic or long term pain. These cases can take a bit longer.
Or in the case of aggravation through repetitive or physical work that can’t be avoided.

Most people understand this and are happy to have more than one treatment.

There’s never any pressure, I always let my clients decide how often they need to come.

Everybody recovers at different rates and people have different expectations as to how their bodies should feel.

You’re in charge, I’m just here to help. 😊

Do you need to believe in it ?

One of my new clients during the week was a retired farmer.

He’d all but given up on his chronic back problem and after a failed surgery years earlier he had some doubts that Bowen would be able to help.

“I’ve had people in the past tell me they can fix me in 15 minutes, but they couldn’t.” He mused.

I replied, “I’m not going to ‘fix’ it in one go, this looks like the result of 60 odd years of use, abuse and neglect.”

He laughed “You’re not wrong there.”

After his treatment which not only addressed his pelvis and lower back, but also his feet, he commented:

“Well that’s only about 1000 % better. I can say this is the best it’s felt in 20 years.”

It’s early days but I’m hopeful that he continues to experience relief in the days and weeks ahead.

Of course a follow up treatment is highly recommended.

Sometimes I’m asked by people “Do you need to believe in Bowen for it to work ?”
As if it’s some kind of placebo.

Yes it is a gentle physical therapy which sometimes challenges the belief that treatment needs to be invasive, heavy or uncomfortable for it to do anything.

However I tell people “no you don’t have to believe in it. You just need to be curious enough to make the appointment.”

Then perhaps a couple more to give it a fair chance. 😊

Some time back I treated a client for suspected tennis elbow.

On the 2nd treatment my assessments took me to an area of tissue just above the affected elbow near the bicep muscle.

The tense area was part of a full sleeve tattoo directly under a darker section of an animal’s nose. The affected area was about the size of a pea.

I treated the area with scar tissue release (MSTR).
She experienced strong responses (tingling and warmth) in her arm and affected elbow for over 10 minutes afterwards, after which most of the pain had dissipated. I decided to do no more for this treatment.

Some months later I am told that her elbow has been free of the severe pain since then.

Scar tissue comes in many shapes, sizes and forms. Burns, old muscle tears or injuries, cuts, scratches, surgeries and any pe*******on of the skin can cause scar tissue.

Not that all scars are troublesome or problematic.

But they can play a role in pain or musculoskeletal dysfunction at some point, even many years later as the body grows and changes shape, causing tensions on adhered tissue to change and perhaps refer pain to other areas.

MSTR is a valuable tool that I often incorporate into my treatments where appropriate. 😊

I’ve had to dig deep into the archives this week.

Clients I haven’t seen since 2017, 2018 and 2019 returned for treatment.

It’s always good to see old clients, particularly because it gives me the opportunity to showcase the new skills and techniques I have acquired since I last saw them.

As a therapist I never stop learning and evolving.

Although I can’t believe how fast those years have gone. Time flies when you’re having fun 😀
