Bowen therapy is a gentle holistic technique that works with the soft connective tissue of your body to activate its own healing mechanisms. We asked Tracey Steele of Pure Health NZ how exactly does the bowen therapy work.
Did you know that we are an electrical current? Every cell within our body should have a 70-90 millivolt charge in its membrane, but sometimes this frequency can be thrown out of kilter by factors such as nutritional imbalance, which can result in incorrect pH levels.
Forcing the body to heal via physical force or manipulation can, in some cases, cause the body to ‘freeze’ in place. This has the potential to turn the muscles ‘off’ but a Bowen treatment can reverse this and gently reset the body.
Bowen therapy is a form of bodywork that involves gently stretching the fascia (the soft tissue that covers all muscles and organs) which, in turn, stimulates the nervous system and reduces pain. It also addresses the importance of your cell charge and the quality of nutrients you ingest.
In my Bowen therapy treatments, I look at issues that are commonly missed in health protocols. Firstly, your cell charge – cells make up and operate your muscles, organs and systems, and need to function at optimum frequency. A Bowen bodywork treatment will help get you out of the fight or flight response and initiate healing. And then there’s the use of quality organic and ionically charged nutrients. So, it’s not just ONE thing that will reset and return your body to wellness.
Practising since 1999, I can help review your health and work with you on a wellness protocol.
