Bowenwork

Bowen is a type of bodywork therapy that addresses musculoskeletal pain, restrictions, injuries, and other conditions. 

• Pain, restriction, lack of mobility all tell us that there's something wrong, but they don't tell us what's wrong or where the problem is rooted from. It is said that if just the symptomatic area is treated, over 70% of the time the wrong area is being addressed. 

• There are often multiple areas along the spine, pelvis, and cranium effecting other areas of the musculoskeletal system. 

• Bowen treats the body holistically by balancing the pelvis, spine, and cranium. Creating this balance facilitates the innate healing power of the body, thereby resetting muscle tension and range of motion, and reducing pain. 

"Bowenwork with Christina has truly been life changing for me. This is my first experience with this type of bodywork and I see the lasting benefits and have never felt better! Each session is unique based on your needs and includes thorough assessment. When you get to the root of what is causing pain and discomfort, a long term solution can be found. Christina is a competent and caring healer. Her excellence with this massage technique reaps amazing results no matter your issue or cause of pain or concern. Definitely worth it for pain free living."  - E.

Bowen is a type of bodywork therapy that works on the fascia to treat pain, restriction, and injury. 

Fascia is the connective tissue that surrounds all muscles, bones, organs, nerves, and vessels. Throughout or lives, fascia becomes tight, sticky, and dehydrated due to injuries, poor posture, repetitive motions, and inactivity. This causes pain, tension, and a decrease in mobility. In fact, a muscle "knot" is really adhesion within the fascia. 

Bowen makes strumming, or rolling moves over the fascia. These moves are made over muscles, tendons, and ligaments, helping to correct joint dysfunction and relieve stress and irritation on nerves. 

 Bowenwork can be helpful for: 

Arthritis pain
Back pain
Carpal tunnel syndrome
Elbow pain/restrictions
Fibromyalgia

Each session begins with assessment of posture, gait, range of motion, and other orthopedic tests.

Bowenwork can be performed over clothes or on skin. Please wear loose and light clothing, such as athletic-style shorts or pants, t-shirts or tank tops. Please avoid tight or slippery clothing (like spandex) and undergarments. 

It is strongly recommended that you initially receive two Bowenwork treatments one week apart. 

If traditional massage and other rehabilitative therapies have not helped your condition as much as you had hoped, I encourage you to try Bowen.
