I am thinking of trying it for my migraines and as a general relaxation therapy. Currently I am having remedial massage and will be starting accupunture in a few weeks but I am keen to hear if anyone has tried it and what they thought.
It's very different to a remedial massage. With Bowen your muscles and ligaments are gently manipulated I suppose you would call it, into place and your body is given a few minutes to adjust before the next manipulation is made. I have had it done a few times and I have really felt the benefit of having it done. My Dh actually prefers it to chiropractic now for his back. make sure you see a qualified Bowtech Practicioner though as they have done the full course and have completed their qualifications.
Hey amysarah, i dont know much about it, but a few friends of mine swear by it!
I am trying Reiki at the moment for fertility - and to help me relax a bit more - i have gotten so worked up about not being able to get UTD. Honestly i can not recommend it more highly! They teach you how to meditate which i have found helps alot and i was getting quite bad headachs from anxiety and she taught me some techniques to help with this as well. I have never felt better!!! If the Bowen doesnt work out def give reiki a shot!
Trillian there is only one Bowen Therapist (that I know of) where I live so I'll ask them about their qualifications. I really don't want to go to a chiropractor so this looks like the next best thing for my neck/shoulders.
Elyse a friend of mine practices Reiki and I can't say I got a lot out of it when I had a session a few years back. But perhaps I wasn't in the right headspace for it then.
I'll have a chat to him about it and see if my interest is renewed. Thanks for the suggestion!
I've had bowen before and I really like it. It is very gentle mostly (some of the moves can hurt a little). It is wonderfully relaxing and it does work.
my brother in laws partner does bowen therapy and she did it on me once..its a REALLY weird feeling afterwards, felt a bit dizzy and light headed, but it did actually help reduce the pain in my shoulder. I love my massages though and prefer them
