Testimonials from Doctors on the Efficacy of Bowen Therapy:
Bowen Therapy is not meant to replace medical treatment. However, due to its success, more and more
members of the medical profession continue to be amazed at its effectiveness and have begun to add Bowen
Therapy to their practice or refer their patients to a professional Bowen Therapist. Listen to what they had to say
about Bowen Therapy:
- Dr. JoAnne Whitaker, M.D. – “I was facing a hip replacement and back surgery when I discovered the Bowen
Technique. After receiving Bowen treatments, not only was I able to walk, but I went back to playing golf…
without surgery. I was so impressed that I flew to Australia to train in the Bowen Technique and now treat
patients with ailments ranging from bunions to heart disease.
- Audrey Butko M.D. – “I consider the Bowen Technique to be a blessing in my practice because of its
simplicity, results and patient satisfaction. It has nearly eliminated my need to use cortisone injections.”
- Dr. Michael Buckmann -”Clients who present with both acute and chronic pain, having often sought treatment
in vain from a variety of other experts and specialists, are consistently free of their problems within a very short
time by using Bowen. In fact, most clients require only 2 or 3 sessions to achieve long term benefits.”
- Mitchell R. Mosher, DPM – “The Bowen Technique is one of the most powerful physical medicine techniques
I have learned in 24 years as a podiatrist. I routinely use the Bowen Technique to complement treatment of
various foot and ankle injuries.”
- Gerry Townsend, M.D. – “I offer the Bowen Technique to acute and chronic patients who have not responded
to traditional treatment for myofascial pain syndrome, back pain, fibromyalgia, arthritis or fractures. Although
skeptical at first, C.S. Whitman, M.D., an orthopedic surgeon, now regularly refers patients to Dr. Townsend’s
program.”
- J. T., M.D., Physician, Medical Researcher, Biotechnology Company – “I have noted improvement in stressrelated
muscle pain and tension, joint pain and posture. Bowen Therapy sessions may benefit people with
musculo-skeletal pain as well as other stress related symptoms.Much to my surprise, my neck pain got resolved
through this work. I am very pleased with the results and quite amazed!”
- L. White. MD – Physician, former Professor of Cardiology -“This body work has been enormously beneficial
in allowing me to feel freer, less constricted, more mobile and better aligned. I highly recommend Bowen
Therapy.”
- Dr Robert Flemming MD – “After over 30 years of medical practice, I am finding the Bowen Technique the
most effective and efficient hands-on procedure I’ve ever studied. I fully recommend this technique to all health
practitioners.”
- Dr. Ted Sleigh – “Of all the modalities I have used, Bowen Therapy has helped so many of my patients that I
would never want to give it up.”
- Dr. Christine Staub – “As a board-certified family physician with a special interest in the treatment of chronic
illness and pain syndromes, I am thrilled to have Bowen Therapy as a resource for myself, family, friends and
patients.”
- Oscar C. Weitzberg, Rockville, MD -”Two chronic problems cleared up after a few Bowen sessions three
months ago. As far back as I can remember, I tended toward constipation. After eighty-five years of laxatives,
enemas, and suppositories, I’m now regular — even without Metamucil. My sinus condition began in the early
1950s. After the doctor’s initial treatments with iodine, I irrigated my sinuses with saline solution for about ten
years, then used Neosynephrine for thirty years, and finally used Nasacor daily for ten years. Since the Bowen,
my sinuses are clear without any medication.”
- Dr. Fred Menier – “I have been able to notice results even in
chronic situations such as rheumatism, TMJ, chronic asthma and emotional depression.”

 

Autonomic Nervous System

The Automatic Nervous System consists of two parts, the Sympathetic and Parasympathetic Systems.

The Sympathetic System is known as the “Fight of Flight” System

The Parasympathetic System is known as the “Eat, Sleep, and Heal” System

An important thing to notice is that the Digestive System cannot work effectively while you are in Sympathetic-On

Humans often get stuck in Sympathetic-On.  While in this mode, the digestive system doesn’t function well, sleep is difficult, and healing cannot occur.

Bowen Therapy and NST(Neurostructural Intigration Technique) put your body into the Parasympathetic so your body can heal itself and you can get well.

Bowen & NST helps restore you to balance and health.

Sick and Tired of Being Sick and Tired??

Wanted to take a few minutes to share with you a little of my journey to Health and Wholeness from the Inside Out!

I went the medical route to start with as that is what I knew.  Did the years of medications, equipment, tests and experimental options to figure out what is going on and how best to “fix” it.  The side effects and the hospital stays.  I have had surgery and experienced many adverse reactions to the tests and medications, with things deteriorating instead of getting better.  Been to all the specialists and faced with a lifetime of chronic pain and disability that I was told would continue to get worse and most likely be fatal. Very thankful to have these option and they have helped with some of the conditions and issues I was challenged with.

I am someone who does not give up easily and I face what comes at me by searching for answers.  I was introduced to Bowen Therapy-a very gentle hands on therapy that relaxes your body and helps it heal itself mentally emotionally, physically and spiritually bringing balance and restoration.  I was a case study for those learning the therapy. With Bowen Therapy I was able to get rid of all the braces and equipment I was using and wearing for over a decade.  I have gotten off all prescription medications as well with the help of Bowen and Natural options.

I was so impressed with how much Bowen helped me I started learning the therapy myself to help others as that is one of my passions, passing on what I learn to others and helping them improve their life and health.

I was on so much medications they were doing far more harm than good and it was becoming a major issue health wise.

I again started searching for Natural options to reduce and eliminate the rest of the medications I was on and gain understanding and knowledge of what is out there in the natural field to help with health issues.  I researched many companies online in the natural field and came across one that had a variety of options for health, weight loss, skin care, supplements, and more with a great team of people and a great compensation plan to create residual income.  I have taken various supplements with this company with amazing results.  So thankful for the opportunity and the increased health and knowledge I have gained.

I continue to learn and grow and research in the filed of natural health and therapies and love to share and pass on that knowledge to others to help them regain their health and well being too!

The Best Brilliant idea For Humanity

Category Tags: Healing, Outreach Program, Women

Description of Idea: We are seeking collaborators and funding to offer an outreach program in India to empower women to reclaim their role as natural healers.

This tremendously cost effective treatment has done wonders as a First line chronic pain alleviation system, and we believe that put in the hands of socially and health minded individuals, this therapy would have far reaching positive consequences.

Our present goal is to help widowed women to reclaim their place in society while sharing with others this tremendous gift of healing.

Most women have not had sufficient opportunity to nourish the healer within and trust their willing hands and big heart. There is little more exciting and rewarding than to see people take back their power and trust in the bodys innate wisdom to heal without drugs, surgery or endless palliation.

We have a team of BowenFirst TM coaches willing to teach this First line chronic pain alleviation system, a gentle, safe, low-tech, and simple technique to people in areas of the world who can benefit their society.

If you are interested in helping people to reboot their body so that they can reboot their life and then reach out and help reboot the world vote for us.

Dr. Manon Bolliger, ND,DHANP, CBHT: I have 2 decades of experience with people who have suffered with pain and at this point I am more convinced than ever that given the right information the human body has the capacity to self heal. In fact, given the right understanding, people can take back ownership of their own healing.

This was my original motivation in studying law and getting my LLB. I wanted to be an advocate for informed choice in health. But I found that there is nothing more powerful than people as a group reclaiming their health. And thus, I went into health.

As a Naturopathic Physician, Specialist in Homeopathy and an advanced practitioner and coach of Bowen Therapy, I have experience in a wide range of therapies that promote healing.

My greatest inspiration however, is the work of Tom Bowen and by creating Bowen College in 2007, I have decided to continue his legacy. His legacy was one of humanitarianism and that of a healer.

Blessed with a conscious and heart centered group of coaches, we offer an excellent program for Bowen as well as creating local outreach programs to help caregivers (Bowen Care and Share) and people who cannot afford treatments.

What has been the most rewarding is to see the transformation of people who had given away their power to heal, take it back and get excited at just how little it takes for the body to make miraculous leaps forward without drugs, surgery or endless treatments. http://www.bowencollege.com

Understanding the Bowen Technique

,Any time someone is introducing a new technique there is always the temptation to compare it to other, perhaps already known, techniques . This is understandable as the comparison gives us some tangible element to visualize as we try to grasp the specifics of the new approach. Such comparisons can be helpful in giving a general idea of what’s involved in the new technique.
However, if we want to properly understand the new technique, it is essential to distinguish it from its probable comparisons. This is important not only so we have a clearer idea of what’s unique about the Bowen Technique, but also because a number of likely candidates for the comparison with Bowen are actually counter indicated when being treated with Bowen Therapy if one is to get the full benefits of the Bowen Technique.

1. Bowen is not Massage
Those newly introduced to Bowen often associate it to massage. However its operation and objectives are quite different. Furthermore, robbing or even prolonged touching around a Bowen “move” just applied can weaken the effectiveness of the move. Bowen moves go no deeper than fascia on superficially accessible muscles, and only do so with gentle pressure.
2. Bowen is not Acupressure
Some of the areas of focus in a Bowen treatment will coincide with acupuncture points, but there are so many acupoints some overlap is inevitable. Bowen “points”, though, a more focused intervention is complemented with a more economical application. In the Bowen Technique, one simple move across the structure is all it takes.
3. Bowen is not Chiropractic
No manipulation of the skeletal system is made. Most practitioners and many clients observe vertebral movement, but this is evidence of the body realigning itself and a Bowen treatment working. Chiropractic adjustments following treatment are counter indicated.
4. Bowen is not Directional “Energy Work”
Given its parameters, even energy work can be intrusive. Practitioners can focus too much on accomplishing their own desired results, which may or may not coincide with the client’s needs. Instead, Bowen practitioners are taught to focus on Lee on doing a precise movement accurately, and then physically leaving the room.
5. Bowen is not Physiotherapy or Neuromuscular “Re-Education.”
Stretch reflex, Golgi reflex and reciprocal enervation may be involved in the muscular releases, but these occur on a cellular level and expand out physically. In fact, people may fall asleep during a session, and many will not feel the effects for hours are even up to a few days. These factors distinguish the Bowen technique from remedial exercises or movement training that some people need for long-term recovery.
6. Bowen is not Trigger-Point Therapy
Some points are unavoidably similar even though their referral zones are different. Most trigger points are found in the core of muscles, while Bowen muscle moves are usually made where two muscles is or muscle groups overlap. This and other factors seem to make Bowen most similar to fascia work but…
7. Bowen is not Fascia Release
With each Bowen move, the fascia is rocked amd minutely “disturbed’; is is not forcefully separated. After a series of Bowen sessions, adhesions tend to loosen and scar tissue frequently softens and shrinks on its own because impediments to the natural healing process are removed.
8. Bowen is not Lymphatic Massage
Bowen does stimulate lymphatic releases, in that sinuses will often drain during the session; breast lumps may shrink or be gone within a few weeks; and excess fluids are usually eliminated within the week. Bowen does not, however, use the percussion or vigorous stroking of lymphatic massage, although there is a lot of gentle “milking” done around the sternocleidomastoid (SCM) muscle.
8. Bowen is not Emotional Release Modality
The intent of the Bowen session is not to effect emotional releases. However, some people report the dramatic lightning of spirit and a subtle but pervasive refocusing of troublesome emotional patterns. Many body workers consciously focus on the interface between physical and emotional, trying to touch on that which is hidden behind a protective wall of hyper tense musculature.
Excessive pressure is not needed; Bowen Therapy confirms that the best access is gained by the least threatening approach.

So Then, What is the Bowen Technique?

The Bowen Technique is an entirely unique system of neuromuscular repatterning that works primarily through the nervous system, Affecting both structural and energetic levels. Psychological effects are also reported, these effects include increased ability to focus, mood elevation, improve quality of sleep, and improved coping skills. Also clients have experienced consistent enhanced positive moods and reduced feelings of tension, fatigue, anger, depression, and confusion. A Bowen Session consists of very precise and gentle (tissue. These gentle moves balance the body and stimulate the energy flow within it.

The objective of the Bowen Technique is complete restoration of the body’s structural integrity. Bowen restores joint articulation and structural alignment by providing a powerful stimulus to joint circulation. Concurrently, muscle attachments around a joint relax, taking pressure off the joint so that it naturally realigns into harmonious structural balance. Now, given a structurally sound framework, bodily functions wil proceed harmoniously and healthily.

Philosophy Behind the Bowen Approach

Exploring some of the philosophical concept related to the body, we begin to see how the physical form represents a reflection of all levels of the human subtle energy fields. An understanding of the subtle fields also provides a theoretical basis for understanding Bowen. Just As one studies anatomy and physiology of the gross human form, so two can we explore the anatomy of a subtle dimensions that link the human form. From both the metaphysical traditional literature and current scientific hypothesis, we understand that the physical form has an underlying energetic form or template, and that this template can be identified, measured, and mapped. We also know that certain vibration all patterns correspond to particular areas of the body. As a vibration all were energetic form of body work, Bowen is rather like homeopathy, for a minimal amount of intervention is always thought best.

The body, like any intricate musical instrument, requires adequate tuning for correct function. When two and properly, the body will resonate to create a distinctive tone and vibration all pattern that correlates with its own unique frequency. All musicians know that locating the exact pitch at which a node is to be held is critical. Any small deviation creates a totally different frequency or tone. Also, the quality of the tone is affected by the way in instrument is played. The body is as sensitive to touch as a fine Stradivarius (a violin-like stringed instrument). Pythagoras was aware of the relationship between healing and harmonics, and set up a school of healing based on this relationship.

The message of touch with clear intention is basic to Bowen Therapy. It is a two-way channel, a loop of communication-musical alchemy, if you will. To work effectively with the body, a depth of sensitivity must be developed to the suble aspects of a client’s being. A first touch that is too fast or too deep can be overwhelming, negating the safe space required for working with the body. The other major ingredient is waiting for each response to be fully processed. This way of working adds depth, wisdom, compassion and healing to our lives as healing artisits, and to those whom we touch.
