What is Bowen Therapy? Massage in Littlehampton
Bowen therapy, also known as the Bowen technique or Bowenwork is a gentle, non-invasive, hands-on therapy that aims to stimulate the body's own healing mechanisms. It was developed by Australian osteopath Tom Bowen in the 1950s and 1960s.
During a Bowen therapy session, the therapist uses light touches and gentle rolling movements on specific points on the body, such as muscles, tendons, and ligaments. These movements are designed to activate the nervous system and encourage the body to rebalance and heal itself.
Bowen therapy can help with a wide range of conditions, including back pain, neck pain, headaches, asthma, digestive issues, menstrual problems, and sports injuries. It can also help to promote relaxation, reduce stress, and improve overall well-being.

How does Bowen work?
Bowen therapy involves the nervous system and fascia, a connective tissue that surrounds and supports muscles, bones, and organs.
During a Bowen therapy session, the therapist applies gentle pressure and rolling movements on specific points of the body, which may trigger nerve impulses and stimulate the nervous system. This can lead to a release of tension and a reduction in pain and inflammation.
Additionally, Bowen therapy can help to restore the balance of the autonomic nervous system, which controls many automatic functions in the body such as heart rate, digestion, and breathing. By promoting a state of deep relaxation, Bowen therapy may help to reduce stress and improve overall well-being.
Bowen therapy works by affecting the fascia, a network of connective tissue that runs throughout the body. Fascia plays an important role in maintaining the structural integrity of the body and in facilitating the movement of muscles and joints. By applying gentle pressure and rolling movements on specific points of the body, Bowen therapy can also help to release tension and restore the proper alignment and function of the fascia.
Overall, Bowen therapy helps encourage feelings of relaxation, reduce pain, and improve general function.
