What is Bowen Therapy?
Bowen Therapy, developed by Tom Bowen in Australia in the mid-1900s, is a non-invasive, gentle physical therapy that uses precise, light-pressure movements over specific points on the body. These points, known as fascia, are connective tissue that surrounds muscles, bones, and organs.
How Bowen Therapy Works
01
Stimulating the Fascia
The gentle moves activate nerve bundles beneath the fascia, muscles, and tissues.
02
Balancing the Nervous System
It helps calibrate the autonomic nervous system, promoting a shift into the parasympathetic ("rest and digest") mode.
03
Encouraging Self-Healing
By activating the parasympathetic nervous system, Bowen Therapy allows the body to enter a state where healing can occur naturally.
04
Releasing Tension
The precise moves help release physical and energetic blockages in the body.
The Bowen Therapy Experience at Rooted Solutions
When you come for a Bowen Therapy session at our Toronto clinic, you can expect:
1. Gentle Treatment: The therapy involves light, rolling movements over muscles and soft tissues.
2. Periods of Rest: Between sets of moves, you'll have short periods of rest, allowing your body to respond to the treatment.
3. Fully Clothed: The therapy is performed through light, comfortable clothing.
4. Whole-Body Approach: While we may focus on specific areas of concern, the treatment addresses your entire body.
5. Deep Relaxation: Many clients experience a profound sense of relaxation during and after the session.
