Bowenwork® shows promise for faster and more complete healing from concussions

· Blog, Bowen Therapy, Straight Talk for Men · Comments Off on Bowenwork® shows promise for faster and more complete healing from concussions

Nowhere is the magic of Bowen more evident than in time-critical sporting applications. Eyes wide, an alarmed player dashes out of the game both hands clutching his sternum, or grimacing in pain gingerly carrying a wrist aloft, or limping and contorted, favoring an injury that is not immediately evident, or staring vacantly staggering and unsteady. He or she may only say, “can’t breathe” or “something popped” or “my fingers went numb” or “I saw stars.”

Some may think that they have a job or do something that will always irritate a condition. “Just another six years until I retire and then my back (or whatever) won’t hurt.” It’s really about setting up patterns that the body uses to heal. Example: Bowenwork® will reset the effects of mild traumatic brain injury (concussion), oftentimes within hours. It also sets the stage for recovery from the next injury with a new pattern of quick repair. Remember how quickly you bounced back from stuff when you were a kid?  This isn’t like teaching an old dog new tricks; it’s more like your body remembers. Imagine your body suddenly remembering the way it’s supposed to work.  That’s what Bowen does.

What are the odds of this actually working? About 80%. You in or not?

Bowenwork® for Men

· Blog, Bowen Therapy, Straight Talk for Men · Comments Off on Bowenwork® for Men

Your gluteus maximus (butt) and hamstrings are like the shock absorbers in your truck; if you replace them with 2x4s, your back is going to take a real beating every time you take a step. Every Bowenwork session includes a basic set-up procedure that relaxes those muscles. The pelvis is like your alignment; if it’s off, your tires are going to wear badly (knee and foot problems). The kidney procedure is like changing your oil filter. With any luck, your body is even smarter than your truck. Pain-relieving, muscle-relaxing and anti-inflammatory drugs are defensive drugs that let us continue to ask muscles to do things that our bodies are telling us not to do. They mask or defend us from unpleasant body reactions to injury. Am I the only guy who has ever put electrical tape over a trouble light on the dash? The result is that we often get the same pain back with a vengeance. You tell me if that game plan has been working. It’s time to get on the offensive (healing) side of the ball and put your body to work doing something constructive like running some new plays around the same old defense. Bowenwork pulls the playbook out of your back pocket and hands it to you.

What are the odds of this actually working? About 80%.

Tune up your Body with Bowenwork®

· Blog, Bowen Therapy, Straight Talk for Men · Comments Off on Tune up your Body with Bowenwork®

When your car engine is misfiring, you take it in for a tune-up. If your vision is a getting blurry, you go in for new glasses. A piano tuner is called when your playing is a bit off key. But what can you do when your body is showing signs of wear and tear and needs resetting? Bowenwork can help the body to restore its natural balance.

What is Bowenwork? Developed by Tom Bowen of Geelong, Australia in the mid-1950’s, the practice is based on the principle that our bodies have been designed with an inherent healing ability as can be seen in cell regeneration and the mending of fractured bones. But sometimes the body gets stuck and Bowenwork helps to trigger this natural healing ability.
