About Wirral Bowen Therapy

---

"Quite simply one of the most straight-forward and effective 'hands-on' therapies available"

Practically any problem can potentially be addressed and many people use the Bowen Technique as a means of stress management and health maintenance, seeing their therapist regularly 2-4 times a year.

In short, almost everything can respond well to Bowen treatment. It is a remedial therapy used by therapists mainly to help people who are in pain and discomfort. It is a hands-on therapy that is applied using very gentle pressure through light clothing. It is not massage and no oils or prolonged pressure is used. The treatment is gentle, subtle and relaxing. No force is used.

Of the thousands of conventional treatments reviewed by "ClinicalEvidence. Com", only 15% were shown to be of proven benefit. A recent study of 1,130 people receiving Bowen Therapy showed 93% reported benefit. A striking difference.

One of the most common complaints for which people seek Bowen treatment is back pain. The average number of treatments is three or four, although there are always exceptions. Painful and restricted shoulders are also a particular favourite as are neck pain, respiratory conditions, hayfever and headache patterns. Bowen is being used widely for sports injuries, with rugby clubs and premiership football clubs showing interest. Not only do sportsmen and women report fewer injuries when treated regularly, but also enhanced performance.

Appointments generally take about 45 minutes and can be performed through light clothing. During the therapy there are a series of short breaks to allow the body to respond to the gentle moves, subtle and fine adjustments which re-balance, relieve tension and reduce pain. Three or four treatments are usually sufficient to achieve lasting relief from even long standing pain. To receive maximum benefit it is recommended not to mix with other therapies for seven days before and after treatment.
