The Bowen Technique

What is it?

The Bowen Technique is a unique and remarkable remedial therapy that is non-intrusive, gentle and very effective. It aims to balance the person not just the symptoms and commonly helps a wide range of conditions:-

• Musculo-skeletal pain such as back pain, frozen shoulders & necks, sporting & work-related injuries, knee problems, arthritic pain, fibromyalgia…..
  
  
• Respiratory problems including asthma, bronchitis, hay fever
  
  
• Migraine and headaches
  
  
• Digestive disorders such as constipation, colic, IBS, indigestion & heartburn
  
  
• Chronic fatigue syndrome (ME)
  
  
• General relaxation and body balancing
  
  
• Gynaecological conditions ; infertility (male and female), PMS, breast lumps
  
  
• Bowen may help during pre- and post-operative periods
  
  
• There is a growing body of evidence of it assisting in cases of cerebral palsy, and also autism, ADHD and dyspraxia
  
  
• Children and even small babies respond especially well to Bowen treatment and it is also ideal to keep the body comfortable and balanced during pregnancy.

Treatment is ‘hands on’ but there is no massage, no manipulation of hard tissue and no high velocity adjustments. The light, rolling movements are made across soft tissue – muscles, tendons etc – interspersed with periods of rest that allow your body to absorb the treatment and start to make the fine adjustments that will bring about change. However, despite its light approach it is very potent.

The list above is by no means exhaustive - because your whole system is stimulated to balance and repair itself practically any problem can potentially be addressed and many people notice an improvement in general health as well as the particular problem for which they seek help.

As the treatment is so gentle and adaptable it is safe and suitable for all ages from 0 to 90 and beyond and for all states of health. However, I will always advise people to consult their doctors if there is any doubt over whether or not to treat.

Holistic Aromatherapy

What is it?

Aromatherapy uses essential oils which are fragrant substances extracted from plants. They offer unique properties that have a potent but gentle effect on the body, mind and emotions.

Massage can relax the body and mind, release muscular tension, soothe pain, stimulate the circulatory and lymphatic system, and balance the immune system.

Aromatherapy Massage combines these effects for a treatment that can help a wide range of common health problems including

• Muscular tension, aches and pains
  
• Joint problems and rheumatism
  
• Stress related problems, anxiety, mild depression
  
• Skin conditions, acne, eczema
  
• Headaches and migraine
  
• Lowered resistance to infections
  
• Fatigue

For maximum effectiveness I use essential oils of high quality and purity, most of which come from organic or naturally farmed sources.www.materiaaromatica.com

Aromatherapy massage may relax, revive, soothe or invigorate. A single treatment is usually deeply relaxing and beneficial, whilst regular visits are a gentle but effective way to help maintain your general health and well being – you don’t have to be ill to benefit from aromatherapy!
