The Bowen Technique is increasingly being recognised as a powerful and effective therapy for balancing the body, aiding postural realignment and releasing muscle tension. A treatment consists of a series of gentle moves across muscles, tendons and ligaments. Short wait times of 2 minutes are incorporated between certain moves to allow the therapy to activate responses in the area just worked on. Bowen moves trigger the nervous system to assess tensions and start the process of releasing the tension allowing the body to realign itself. It can be used to benefit people of all ages from newborn babies, pregnant women through to the elderly as well as for acute or chronic conditions.
Through the Bowen Technique, Caroline has experience in helping alleviate a wide range of conditions such as stress, headaches, rotator cuff syndrome, frozen shoulder, post viral fatigue, sciatica, hamstring and knee injuries, menstrual problems, hayfever, asthma and back pain, including that experienced during pregnancy.
Caroline also trained in Indian Head Massage and has found this therapy greatly beneficial for releasing tension headaches, stress / anxiety and muscular tensions around the head, neck, shoulders and back, particularly for those involved in sedentary jobs working long hours at computers or driving.
