When your body’s intelligence is not congested by the mind’s worries, your full life–force can flow unimpeded within the Fascia that is responsible for our body’s entire structure and function.

Bowen Therapy

Bowen Therapy is a physical realignment therapy that works with your body’s innate intelligence to bring peace and rebalance to your entire organ system, hormonal, respiratory and digestive and immune systems, with a focus on spine health and the energy meridians. It does this by allowing the return to centre, or your ‘reboot switch’ to be activated.

Deep relaxation is activated in a Bowen session to facilitate release of past trauma & injury giving space for growth and healing.

When your body’s intelligence is not congested by the mind’s worries, your full life–force can flow unimpeded within the Fascia that is responsible for our body’s entire structure and function. To understand and have personal access to this body intelligence is your greatest empowerment and self–healing tool, as it responds intelligently to every thought, emotion and mental picture, along with your environment.

Tensegrity Medicine Principles

New Science is moving towards validating that the fascia - connective tissue – is a system that receives information – pressure, vibration, stretch and energetic currents, around the whole body and has a role in directing physiological function – working in sync with the nervous system.

Patterns and repetition of movement in our daily activities may contribute to injury, which may then progress to aberrant function. Tissues, when subjected to repeated movement and sustained position, will find a position of comfort via the path of least resistance. This creates an imbalance as increased stiffness in one muscle group or joint can lead to compensatory elsewhere in the body. Continued compensation leads to dysfunctional posture and positioning of imbalanced weight-bearing of joints and the nervous system function impaired.

Everything is connected via this fascial matrix. No movement may occur within our system without influencing the whole system. This is according to the Tensegrity Medicine™ approach/philosophy as founded by Kelly Clancy.

Using postural, movement and myofascial assessment, Julie directs specific attention to tension patterns and restrictions. Via specific Bowen moves, integrated with the wholistic considerations mentioned previously, treatment facilitates the whole body into alignment and balance, tailored to the individual.
