Dunsborough Bowen Therapy
Restorative bodywork treatments for reducing pain and re-balancing body, mind and emotions.
Bowen Therapy is a gentle and non-invasive approach to releasing tension, reducing inflammation and recalibrating the nervous system to bring the bodys healing response back online.
Treatments consist of gentle, hands-on movements that address the releasing of the fascia which wraps around and supports the muscles, nerves, bones and organs. The structural body can then return back to a state of balance on its own, without any aggressive/ forceful manipulations.
Bowen Therapy relieves tension caused by injury, postural imbalances or mental and emotional stress that can overload the skeletal body, causing impingement on the nerves and create the inability of energy to flow freely.
These treatments help to release, rebalance and restore the physical, mental and emotional bodies, leaving you feeling deeply relaxed.

How does Bowen work?
We apply Bowen Therapy techniques specific to your region of concern.
This involves a series of specific gentle rolling moves across the fascia. Fascia is the band of thin, fibrous connective tissue that wraps around and supports every structure in your body - muscles, tendons, ligaments, nerves, bones and organs.
Fascia plays an important role in maintaining the structural integrity of the body and in facilitating the movement of muscles and joints.
The gentle pressure and rolling movements on specific points of the body opens and release the ‘glued’ fascia to release tension and restore the proper alignment and function of the fascia, allows the body's cells to re-hydrate, the lymphatic system to clear any toxins from the body and for the nervous system to re-calibrate.
Bowen Therapy Treatments
Treatments are done through the clients clothing, without the use of oils.
Regular ‘preventative’ treatments can reduce the risk of injury and help to keep the body in a state of ease, before pain or tension arises.
Pre-surgery treatments help to prepare the body on all levels and can increase recovery time.
Post Bowen Therapy Treatments
We advise you to increase your water intake to support the treatment administered to your
muscles, re-hydrate the fascia and the body's cells.
You will be advised on any anticipated changes to expect that will indicate the success of the treatment, and you will be given post treatment exercises if appropriate.
Subsequent Bowen Therapy Treatments
Subsequent treatments will include a review of progress, possible reassessment and further
advanced or refined procedures to deliver relief and resolution as best as possible.
We refer and receive referrals to and from our wonderful local network of healthcare providers working together to create the best treatment plan possible for you, from Naturopathy, acupuncture, physiotherapy etc
