My name is Brigid and I have been practicing Bowen Therapy for over 17 years and its simplicity and effectiveness never fails to amaze me.

To explain it a bit further Bowen Therapy is a very simple and dynamic procedure utilising cross-fibre muscle release technique which accesses the bodies ability to heal itself and realigns the body to its optimum ability.

Bowen Therapy is a very solid and physical practice of pain management practiced worldwide applying small, specific manipulations to the muscles and tendons.

It is not considered massage and can be done through light clothing, there are regular pauses between muscle manipulations to enable the body time to reset and heal itself.

Bowen Therapy for Pregnancy

Has been shown to alleviate pain and discomfort that is experienced during pregnancy.

The gentle cross-fibre muscle manipulations gently ease the body into a state of deep relaxation and at times a feeling of weightlessness. Bowen Therapy helps the body to keep its correct alignment and also relaxes the pelvic floor and diaphragm to allow more room for the baby to grow, thereby preventing the pain and pressure often experienced during those last few months.

It has also been noticed that after regular Bowen Therapy treatments the labour is shorter and less painful. The baby is born happier and less stressed due to the transfer process of receiving Bowen Therapy treatments at the same time as the mum.

The way a person relaxes into the treatment, breathes deeply and allows the body to readjust itself to a more balanced state is something quite unique in the bodywork world.

I have found that gentle exercises aids the healing process and helps improve the body memory, I call these exercises ‘mini Bowens’ because they are very important and effective when used in conjunction with the treatment.

There are a few important rules to stick by, these rules are essential to ensure the treatment is given the best chance possible.

DestressXpress Mobile Therapies provide a Mobile Service so I will be bringing a good solid and comfortable table to lie on and all towels and pillows needed. So you will need to only provide a quiet space to put the table up and maybe some gentle music if you prefer.

Bowen Therapy for Anxiety or Depression

There are many different types of anxiety, depression and stress,

Bowen therapy can help you understand that you don’t need to feel that way, there is a different – more healthy way – to cope and it gives you a window of opportunity to change the way you are thinking and access your own intrinsic intelligence to heal yourself on many different levels.

The sheer relaxation brought on by a session brings a sense of lightness that often hasn’t been experienced for a long time.
