Maybe you’ve heard of the Bowen Technique Therapy and never known what it was all about – well here is your chance to find out. Health Studies a leading provider of adult education in the field of health and wellness will be offering a part time course on the Bowen Technique. The course will cover the practical therapy and principles of the technique and will give students a thorough grounding in all aspects of Bowen therapy application.
“The Bowen technique is a soft tissue remedial therapy, named after its innovator Tom Bowen. It involves the therapist using fingers or thumbs to move over muscle, ligament tendon and fascia in various parts of the body. The work is very subtle, relaxing and gentle involving no hard or prolonged pressure. This technique is believed to flow in harmony with the subtle energies of the body and sets up vibrational energy patterns with specific frequencies which affect particular parts of the body. It addresses the body as a whole unit and encourages an integrated response by balancing and re-aligning the body on all levels of the physical, chemical, emotional and mental aspects,” explains Shereen Davids, Course Trainer at Health Studies.
Bowen Technique is a gentle hands-on-bodywork therapy, which involves a sequence of light, safe, non-invasive, yet dynamic moves on specific areas of connective tissue (muscle, tendon or nerve plexus) with frequent pauses and can be done on anyone from newborn infants to frail care elderly.
The Bowen Technique excels as a treatment form for back pain; other problems that can be treated by this technique include frozen shoulders, neck pain, hay fever, asthma and migraines. Sports injury is a field of remedial therapy that is becoming very aware of The Bowen Technique. Not only do sportsmen report fewer injuries when treated regularly but they also notice an increase in performance.
The course is broken down into six modules of contact teaching time, with a requirement that the student undertakes a series of case histories between modules. Each module is practical based and allows plenty of time for demonstration, practice, discussion and question and answer sessions.
Although there is no previous experience necessary for enrolling on this course students should endeavor to make themselves as familiar as possible with a basic grounding in functional anatomy. The course teaches procedures which are explained and identified by using standard Latin names for muscles and a good grounding of these together with basic anatomical terminology will be of great assistance.
