Healing power in the gentle moves of Bowen ❤️‍🩹
All the body needs is gentle persuasion to come back in to balance and ease.

Bowen isn’t about force — it’s about communication.

⚡ The move creates the signal.
⚡ The gap allows the change.
⚡ Fascia, acting as a sensory organ, responds — its receptors reset tension and restore function.

👉 That’s how light touch creates powerful, lasting change.

Muscles → Dural Tension

Tight suboccipitals don’t just cause local stiffness.
They can increase tension within the dura mater, creating a chain of symptoms:
⚡ Headaches
⚡ Neck pain
⚡ Neurological effects

👉 Assessment-Led Bodywork teaches you to see beyond the symptom and trace the true source.

Jaw & Pelvis: The Hidden Link

Through fascial and dural chains, dysfunction in the TMJ can shift pelvic alignment — and pelvic torsions can trigger jaw problems.

Symptoms are rarely isolated. Without assessment, you risk chasing effects instead of correcting causes.

👉 Learn to identify these hidden links with Assessment-Led Bodywork.

The Dural Anchor

The dura anchors at the sacrum and coccyx.
A fall on the tailbone may look like a local injury — but it can send tension rippling up the spine, altering cranial mechanics and neural function.

👉 This is why assessment matters: old injuries can explain “new” symptoms.

The Body’s Toughest Tissue

“Restriction in the dura = symptoms everywhere”)

The dura mater isn’t just a protective sheath — it’s the body’s central tension line.

When restricted, it can ripple strain from skull to sacrum, creating symptoms far from the real source.

👉 That’s why Assessment-Led Bodywork focuses on finding and correcting dural restrictions — not chasing pain.

Amazing 🤩

The Piezoelectric Effect in Fascia
Bowen moves create a piezoelectric response — gentle, sustained pressure in the fascia generates tiny electrical currents.
⚡ These currents send signals to cells, informing them of movement, load, and activity.
⚡ The result? A whole-body response to a seemingly light touch.
👉 This is why Bowen’s “slow melting pressure” is so powerful.

A Bowen move isn’t just a touch — it stimulates sensory receptors, triggering a neural feedback loop that tells the body to self-correct.

⚡️ With the right assessment, one precise move can activate lasting change across the system.

👉 That’s the difference between chasing symptoms and transforming outcomes with Assessment-Led Bodywork.

Muscle Meets Dura

Headaches may start in the neck - Assessment reveals the link

👉 The suboccipitals connect directly to the dura.
The suboccipital muscles at C1–C3 don’t just move the head — they connect directly into the dura.

⚡ Tension here can trigger headaches, dizziness, even low back pain.

👉 With Assessment-Led Bodywork, you learn to identify these hidden links and correct them at the source.

Every Bowen move stimulates sensory receptors within the tissue. That stimulation triggers the body’s built-in correction system — the neural feedback loop.

⚡️ The body adjusts itself. Our role is to assess, apply the right intervention, and then confirm the change.

👉 That’s the foundation of Assessment-Led Bodywork.

Jaw pain from your pelvis?
Pelvis & TMJ: The Hidden Link
Your jaw and pelvis are not separate players — they’re connected through the spine, fascia, and dural tension.
A rotated pelvis can shift TMJ alignment… and jaw dysfunction can ripple down to the hips.
🔑 Assess the pelvis before you treat the jaw.

Your body is so intelligent and is constantly communicating with you …maybe it’s time to stop, breathe and listen to that innate intelligence.

Tension isn’t always caused by what we think.

It’s not always about sore muscles or poor posture — sometimes, chronic tension can reflect a nervous system stuck in “go mode.”

When your body doesn’t feel safe enough to relax, it can hold on to patterns long past their use.

Bowen Therapy works with the nervous system in a gentle way — using minimal input, space, and stillness to invite a shift.

Sometimes, less really can be more.
