BOWEN THERAPY AND NST (The technical bit)
What is Bowen Therapy? What is NST?Bowen Therapy is a hands-on restorative therapy which can be applied through light clothing. It was pioneered in Australia in the 1950s and 60s by Tom Bowen.
The NeuroStructural Integration Technique is a Bowen therapy and usually gives quicker and more permanent results. Both have a remarkable record of success with clients affected by a wide range of conditions… often when nothing else has helped. Nerves, muscles and fasciae are activated and ‘energy blocks’ released by the cross-fibre muscle-rolling technique, which allows the body’s systems to rebalance. This promotes healing, a sense of well-being, and freedom from pain and stress.
Bowen/NST is suitable for men, women and children of all ages.
For fifteen years I have successfully treated people with bad backs and necks, frozen shoulder or RSI, shin splints and foot pains, panic attacks or asthma, dental problems, hay fever and headaches… How come such a wide range of ‘challenges’? Because NST and Bowen do not treat the problem. They treat the PERSON.
‘Improvement’ Rates – Up to 90%
Over a range of different issues, 60% of my clients reported a good-to-excellent improvement, 30% noticeable improvement, and 10% no change.
These results were taken from a review of the records of 600 clients in 1997-2002. Patients needed an average of four treatments, and the age range treated was from 6 weeks to 96 years.
Bowen in Sports
A growing number of athletes and their physios are discovering that regular Bowen Technique treatments enhance performance and reduce the incidence of injury. When they do get injured, Bowen Therapy brings rapid relief and gets them back to the game more quickly.
Essential Self-help
Drink at least 1.5 litres (about 8 glasses) of pure water daily and take plenty of exercise. Ensure you have an alkaline diet. Fresh veg is vital, and also check if you need to alkalise your drinking water. ‘Alkalife’ drops are a good option.
