Bowen Therapy/Fascia Release Therapy/Myofascial Release

Fascia is a word we usually associate with the roofing industry, relating to ‘bands of material’ joining one surface to another.  In the human body, it is emerging science of the connective tissue.

An elastic and often inelastic structural system that encompasses, wraps round and contributes to stability, flexibility, function and movement.

The connective tissue network appears to respond well to a lighter more intelligent intervention and the potential restructuring that takes place could be the result of internal adaptation in the elasticity of the fascia, creating more space for anatomy to move and behave in a more comfortable bio mechanical equilibrium, creating a physiological environment for injuries to heal and possibly assist in prevention as well.

This is an emerging science that relies on skilled practitioners with excellent anatomical knowledge and practical hands on intelligence.

Using gentle non-invasive work applied by the therapists finger tips and thumbs and allowing small pauses in between, allows the body’s different systems to respond through the central nervous system.
