Bowenwork

What is Bowenwork?

Bowenwork is a non-invasive, hands-on bodywork that addresses the fascial tissue to bring the body into a state of balance. This technique consists of gentle pressure over precise muscles and tendons, followed by a rolling motion to stimulate a nerve response in the fascia. The nerve response signals the body to move out of the state of “fight-or-flight” and activates the body’s natural healing response.  Between series of moves there is a short rest period to allow the body to relax and process new information being delivered throughout the session. Benefits from a session include pain relief, reduced muscle tension, and increased mobility.

The Importance of Fascia

Fascia is the thin layer of connective tissue that surrounds every muscle, tendon, nerve fiber, bone, and organ. It looks like a “spider web” of fibers running in fully connected sheets across the body. With a delicate balance of strength and flexibility, this tissue is responsible for holding the body’s form.

Fascia is abundant with nerves called mechanoreceptors that respond to vibration and pressure to regulate tension. The gentle moves of Bowenwork send a snapshot of an area through the fascia to the brain. The brain responds with instructions for the fascia to unwind and reset tissue tension, allowing healing to begin.

Benefits of Bowenwork

Because fascia plays a role in every system of the body, Bowenwork is able to influence every system of the body! Bowenwork can support recovery from:

  • Neck & Back Pain
  • Nerve Pain
  • Sinus Congestion & Allergies
  • Headaches
  • Digestive Issues
  • Joint Pain
  • Tennis Elbow, Carpal Tunnel, & Frozen Shoulder
  • Whiplash
  • Anxiety & Depression
  • Insomnia
  • TMJ Pain
  • Chronic Pain & Inflammation
  • Fluid Retention
  • Stroke Recovery
  • Pregnancy
  • And More!
Preparing for a Session
  • Sessions typically last 45 minutes to an hour, depending on the condition of the body.
  • The body will continue to process information up to five days after a Bowenwork session; it is recommended to wait 5-7 days between sessions to allow the nervous system time to fully incorporate this information.
  • Drink plenty of water before and after a session to hydrate the tissue and maximize results.
  • Please wear loose, comfortable clothing as Bowenwork is typically performed through clothes.

I felt less pain after my (Bowenwork) appointment.

Before my Bowenwork sessions, I was having hip pain from a pickleball injury. It was causing me constant pain. Now I am back on the pickleball court, with the added bonus of much less lower back pain. Without Bowenwork, I would still be unable to do all of the active lifestyle things I enjoy.

I have had cancer since I was 9 years old, at 22 it was hard to remember what normal is supposed to be like. After 3 years of chemo, I was told some things would just never be the same. I struggled with fatigue and body aches, especially abdominal pain from overworked organs. I was desperate for some kind of relief and didn't want to accept that my body's condition was a new normal after highly toxic chemo for years. Kara started helping me, and within two sessions of Bowenwork I started to understand what normal was supposed to feel like! I am 100% relieved from abdominal pain, and every time I see Kara my hope in having a normal body again is closer to a reality!

I had an accident and slipped on the garage floor. My right shoulder was in pain for the majority of the day before treatment. It was causing me to lose sleep, and compromised some of my activities. As a result of Bowenwork, I can now sleep through the entire night without pain medication and I feel better during the day. Without Kara's help I would definitely be in pain and probably need a medical procedure.
Sara S.
I was very impressed. I was given a tour and given lots of great info! Very thorough and informative! I will definitely be back and I will recommend this to my friends! I had Bowenwork done by Kara and was very impressed with how much this helped me. I definitely want to do this again but also try some of the other modalities. Thank y'all for being in Early!
