Bowen Therapy in Hove
A technique that enables your body to make physiological changes that lead to better alignment and function.
What is Bowen Therapy?
The Bowen Technique is a safe effective therapy for a wide range of conditions, and has continuously grown in popularity as a complimentary health therapy over the last 20 years.
Developed by Tom Bowen in Australia in the 1950s this treatment works by using a unique rolling technique to work on aiding body realignment. The “moves” stimulate energy and empower the body to heal itself to the best of its ability.
Bowen works on a system of the body that is usually neglected by other therapeutic disciplines – ‘The Fascia tissue’. Fascia is the connective tissue in our bodies that surrounds the bones, organs, muscles, ligaments and other soft tissues.
How does it work?
By me treating the fascia tissue with a very precise series of movements, signals will be sent throughout the entire body including the internal organs. These signals in turn remind our body of how to bring itself back into alignment, and therefore improving our physical , emotional and mental wellbeing. In other words Bowen helps our bodies to achieve their best possible function.
“I am an MMA fighter and have been training and sparing for 3 years now. I recently had a shoulder injury and my coach and physio said I would be out of action for at least 2 months. A friend recommended Claire to me. Luckily for me I saw her 2 days after the injury. I felt a relief from the pain within a week and returned to training after 3 weeks!. I have had many more injuries since but now have Bowen twice a month to help stay ahead of the game and help keeps my body functioning as well as it can.”
