Port Noarlunga Bowen & Reflexology

Bowen Therapy is a manual therapy which seeks to assist the body to heal itself through the treatment of soft tissues, especially the connective tissue called fascia which envelops all our organs and tissues, and includes the tendons and ligaments, It is rich in sensory receptors, enabling the fascia to respond to input by changing its size or composition, enabling us to respond to threat with speed and strength. However, persistent contraction of the fascia can cause restriction within the body, which Bowen Therapy will address. As all organs and tissues are wrapped in fascia, the influence of Bowen reaches all aspects of the body.

Bowen Therapy embraces aspects of massage, acupressure, trigger point therapy, energy healing, and reiki. It is none of these, and all of these.

Reflexology

While both Bowen & Reflexology Therapies are able to treat the body holistically,and non-invasively; both influencing the hormonal and bio-energetic systems; Bowen is strongly aligned with healing of the soft tissues and skeletal balance, while Reflexology is capable of indirectly influencing our internal organ blood flow and function such as glycaemic control, and migraine control.

Reflexology operates under the premise that a map of the body is reflected on the feet or hands. These reflexes can be stimulated so that the associated organs, structures, bio-energetic and nerve pathways can be unblocked and optimised to improve our overall well-being.

Research indicates improved emotional tone, decreased stress and anxiety, and a lowering of Blood Pressure. It is particularly useful as an intervention to reduce pain generally, for both chronic pain, and post-operatively,

All areas and functions of the body can be addressed. If it is in the body, then there is a reflex point for it, which can be optimised with treatment. Reflexology can be used to successfully treat conditions via the reflexes when it is not possible to treat them directly.

Benefits include:
Improved Blood and Lymph Circulation
Improved Vagal Tone (Emotional States) reducing the effects of depression and Anxiety,
