Quite simply one of the most advanced and effective treatments that is revolutionising health care. Bowen is suitable for adults and children including newborn babies, elderly and palliative care. The most significant aspect of Bowen is how effective and how quickly it has the capability to bring the body back to balance.

A Bowen treatment affects the body on all levels promoting healing, pain relief and recovery of energy. The practitioner uses a series of light gentle rolling moves over muscle, ligament and tendon. This movement disturbs the soft tissue, bio energetics and nervous system within the body. A session of Bowen not only looks at the presenting condition, but due to its ability to go to cellular level, it looks at the body as a whole and so may even clear up conditions that you have had for a while. During a treatment there are a series of short breaks to allow the body a chance to make the subtle and fine adjustments, which help rebalance, relieve tension and reduce pain. Most of the work can be performed through light clothing and at the beginning of treatment sessions are administered weekly. Four or five sessions are sometimes suffient to achieve pain relief, although long standing issues may take longer to achieve this.

You don’t need to have a physical condition to benefit from Bowen, some people have regular therapy sessions as a means of stress management and health maintenance. When receiving Bowen we activate the central nervous system and so the most frequently felt sensation is deep relaxation, allowing the mind to be calm and peaceful and letting the body do the work of realigning on a muscular and skeletal level. Each treatment is completely unique and tailored to your individual needs on that day. Children respond well to Bowen treatment and it can be administered to newborn babies as the moves are gentle and precise. Many case studies have been documented on the effectiveness of this treatment and the management of asthma, please see our dedicated page on therapy for children. I have also been a volunteer at a specialist children’s clinic and used it for conditions such as adhd, autism and cerebral palsy.

Sports Injuries and Injury Prevention

The originator of the technique Tom Bowen was a sports coach and so the treatment had its beginnings bringing people to their peak of physical fitness. Bowen can assist with acute and long standing sports injuries assisting the sports person to regain their stamina, release muscle tension and pain. It can also be used a sports injury prevention and sports enhancer. This technique can also help with horse riding accidents and posture. After treatment riders have reported feeling more comfortable in the saddle, which has assisted them with riding issues of both themselves and their horse.

For those who take their sport seriously we also offer a range of organic sports nutritional supplements, please look at the nature sunshine herb page for more details.

Bowen Technique can assist with a wide range of conditions, if there is a symptom you are experiencing which is not listed please give Jane at Koya a call to find out how Bowen can help.

Bowen - T.M.J Syndrome
Two years ago I was in a mess my jaw wouldn't open ,my face was painful my neck and shoulder was also very sore ,I couldn't eat ,smile yawn or even talk properly . My doctor and dentist both confirmed I had TMJ and offered me pain killers, anti-depressants and a gum shield. I'm just so glad I found Jane, after my first Bowen treatment I was in a café eating chocolate cake!

Within four sessions I had made a big improvement, six mouths later totally back to normal. She is a star and puts you at ease the minute you walk in, I would recommend her to anyone.

Bowen - Pregnancy
When you are heavily pregnant and birth is imminent, all you care about is trying to get comfortable, but sometimes it’s virtually impossible or so I thought. I had a couple of Bowen treatments with Jane, during and after the session was the most comfortable that I have ever been during pregnancy. It makes you feel relaxed and really in touch with your baby.

I highly recommend it to anyone at any stage of pregnancy.
