Brenda Klarer, RMT & Bowen Therapy

Bowen therapy is gentle and non-invasive but the effective practice of it is very specific and precise. Involving gentle, yet powerful movements on muscle and connective tissue that prompt soft tissue release, sending neurological impulses to the brain. Because the impulses travel through the internal nervous system pathways, they stimulate whole brain responses, which address every system in the body - internal organ systems as well as musculo-skeletal structure. Pauses are inserted between sets of these movements, which allow the brain time to process and send messages to realign the body. Respecting these pauses is an essential component of Bowen therapy to allow the body sufficient time to remember and restore its own healthy, natural balance. The ideal time for a Bowen Therapy session is immediately after an injury. This helps the body overcome the trauma before it begins to compensate for it. The compensations often create more problems than the initial trauma itself. Within three days is ideal for the quickest and most complete recovery. Please note: the terms BowenWork, Bowen Technique, BowTech, Bowen Session, Bowen Therapy are all interchangeable and refer to the same treatment.
