THE WORLD OF BOWEN

28 May— 4 June  —  Tim Willcocks    —    KISSOS CAMPUS

An Introductory Bowen Therapy Workshop

Developed in Australia in the 1950's, and named after Mr Tom Bowen its originator, the Bowen technique is a gentle and relaxing hands-on therapy, in which the practitioner makes a series of 'moves' over the muscles and soft tissues of the patient, using only the fingers and thumbs. There is no need to remove light clothing, and a treatment lasts about 45 minutes. Continuous short breaks are given as part of the treatment to allow the body to ‘adjust to the messages’ received through the nervous system.

Bowen creates a balance in the body by releasing ‘energy blockages’. It is particularly effective at relieving muskulo-skeletal pain, but may also help people with a wide range of conditions.

Anyone can benefit from a Bowen treatment - from babies to sportspeople; and even those with degenerative conditions. Bowen therapy can help with:

• Back Pain
• Arthritis
• Whiplash
• Hip, Leg or Knee Problems
• ME, Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue
• Asthma, Hayfever, Stress
• Frozen Shoulder, Tennis Elbow
• PMT and Infertility Difficulties
• And many other conditions

In this workshop we will learn about the background to Bowen therapy, how it was discovered, and how it spread worldwide due to the surprising results obtained from it and what sets Bowen treatment apart from other modalities. We will do hands on practical work in the group giving and receiving treatments and observing others. And we will discuss in detail, using case history examples, what can be treated, and some of the effects of treatment. This will include how and when to apply Bowen for specific problems.

A basic number of Bowen moves will be demonstrated and practiced, appropriate for emergency or acute situations. For example: asthma attack, stiff neck, bad knees, or carpal tunnel syndrome. In addition to discussing “mainstream” Bowen, I will introduce other styles such as NST, Neural Touch and the Emmett technique.

This workshop is limited to 12 participants. It is helpful, but not necessary, for students to have some experience of bodywork. Participants are eligible to receive 5 CPD Workshop Credits with CThA (Complementary Therapy Association, UK) on completion of the workshop.

Since 1996 I have treated nearly 2,000 people, and have kept careful records of well over 600 individuals. Fully 90% of these clients have reported a benefit from the treatments, and about 60% experienced a ‘good-to-excellent’ improvement.
