Back pain comes for a variety of reasons; some of which can be poor posture, general accidents, lifting too heavy objects, work related strains, and also back pain can often be referred from somewhere else in the body that has taken an injury.

The Bowen technique addresses all of the above in a gentle and methodical manner. Using the lightest of touches, the practitioner conducts a series of moves that send a message to the sensory nerve endings. Taking a small break from working on the body for about 2 minutes, enables these nerve endings to travel to the brain and react by relaxing the motor nerves and the central nervous system.

Slowly the muscles relax, the fascia, the covering of the muscle groups, also relax, thereby giving nerve endings the room they need to send the peaceful vibration back to the brain, and so the sensation of pain reduces very quickly.
