BOWEN THERAPY

 

Bowen is a gentle, yet dynamic system of muscle and connective tissue therapy developed by Tom Bowen. It involves a series of small, gentle rolling moves over muscles, tendons or nerve bundles at precise anatomical sites. In this way, signals are sent to the nervous system empowering the body to heal itself. 

During a session the client tends to shift into the Parasympathetic nerveous system where healing can take place. ). This is experienced by the client with a deep sense of relaxation. 

Everyone can benefit from Bowen, which is so gentle that it can also be used on new-born babies, clients with disabilities, the frail and elderly.

 

A Bowen session lasts 30-45 minutes. The client usually lies on a massage table and the moves are performed through light clothing. Response can be immediate, but if an injury is of a long-standing nature, two or more treatments at weekly intervals, may be necessary.

EMMETT THERAPY

​

Emmett Therapy is a gentle light touch muscle release therapy developed by Ross Emmett. It is a highly effective, standalone therapy or can be successfully integrated with Bowen Therapy. It can be done sitting, lying or standing.

​

Emmett Therapy was developed throuch an understanding of the body’s response to light touch. It has been suggested that the body reacts in a similar way to the workings of a touch-screen. Small sensors allow access to the brain via the therapists’ touch. As well as the ability to directly influence muscle action, these points may have a memory and emotional attachment.

​

 Emmett may assist with addressing pain and discomfort, improving body movement, improving quality of life.
