CONDITIONS HELPED BY THE
BOWEN TECHNIQUE:
Since the main goal of the technique is to stimulate
the body to engage its own self healing mechanism it can be
used effectively to reduce rehabilitation time after any illness,
surgery or injury regardless of how old or recent it may be.
The Bowen Technique does not seek to treat specific
condition or disease but rather to gently stimulate the body to
heal itself. The following list of diagnosed conditions comes
from claims of patients worldwide that found relief from such conditions.
The policy of the Bowen Therapy Academy of Australia is to seek
medical opinion whenever necessary.
- Musculo skeletal conditions of the spine and limbs:
acute or chronic, post traumatic or post surgery or from a more
arthritic origin (lumbar, thoracic, cervical pain and related
muscle spasms and loss of mobility).
- Sports injuries: ankle, shin splints, runner knees,
adductor and hamstring strain, rotator cuff injuries, tennis
elbows....
- Pelvic imbalances: tilt, leg length, hip pain and imbalance,
inguinal and groin pain.
- Frozen shoulder: capsulitis, rotator cuff, arthritis.
- Whiplash from car accidents: receiving Bowen treatment
immediately following accident will greatly speed recovery.
- Sacro iliac pain and imbalances: post traumatic or related
to pregnancy.
- Coccyx pain: from trauma or after giving birth.
- Migraine/headaches from stress and tension, structural
and postural imbalance or digestive origin.
- Hamstrings: tension, stiffness and strain.
- Pregnancy: before(to help the body go through all its
changes and help prepare for the labor), during (to assist labor)
and after for both mother(quicker recovery) and baby (crankiness,
colic, projectile vomiting...)
- TMJ: pain and tension in the jaw.
- Knee pain: meniscus, strain.
- Ankle: strain, sprain.
- Elbow:related to tennis, golf or computer use .
- Sterno costal pain from sprung or cracked rib.
- Sciatica
- Herniated disks
- Chronic pain syndrome, Fibromyalgia...
- Menstrual pain, irregular cycle, PMS.
- Breast pain: related to PMS, mastitis, irregular milk
supply.
- Carpal tunnel and Repetitive stress injury.
- Digestive problems: constipation, diarrhea, liver/gall
bladder congestion and pain
- Bed wetting.
- Respiratory conditions: Asthma, hay fever allergies,
emphysema, cold & flu ,sinus congestion. A Bowen treatment
at the first signs of a cold can very often stop it.
- Kidney: water retention, stone, assist kidney function.
- Foot pain: hammer toes, halux valgus (bunion), plantar
fasciatis...
- Incontinence (adult)
- Prostate.
- Infertility: male or female
- Scoliosis and kyphosis pain.
- ADD/Hyperactivity.
- Neurological conditions: Bell's palsy, cerebral palsy,
polyo, stroke, muscular dystrophy, Parkinson, torticolis, multiple
sclerosis...... these conditions over repeated series of sessions
will respond to varying degree depending on severity. Often patients
have show gradual improvement of their condition and of their
quality of life.
- Heart conditions: chest pain, angina...
- Detox from drugs: I have seen patient's detoxifying
even after years of not using any drug.
Note: Often patients come to the Bowen Technique
after having tried many other modalities to no avail. If a patient
has not responded to other forms of therapy, it is always worth
giving the Bowen Technique a try as it has shown to trigger in many
patients sometimes surprising and unexpected recovery when noting
else had worked. A young man in France in his early twenties
who was born with the right half of his body paralysed and spastic
was able to recover full use of his right arm and write with his
right hand after receiving 10 Bowen sessions !!!
BOWEN ON ANIMALS
Animals respond very well to the Bowen Technique from
cats to horses and cattle, so much for the placebo effect!!!
