22.01.2022 First day back in the clinic today!! A few additions such as covid-19 screening questions, new procedures and hand sanitiser... but something is different... do any of my clients know what it is? $10 credit for the first to comment the correct answer (posted on instagram too, so first answer between the two platforms). This is in no way affiliated with any social media platform.

21.01.2022 As face masks are now mandatory, I thought Id put up a post asking local businesses making 3 layered masks, to link their page. #supportlocal feel free to tag businesses that you purchased through also.

21.01.2022 The first time I had a Bowen therapy treatment, I thought it was a joke - how can something so gentle and minimal actually do something?? Well, it triggers your body to do all the work! It took a couple of treatments for me to see a change (4 children and a chronic back condition didnt put me in the one treatment and youre fixed category) but when it kicked in - by golly, I never looked back! To book an appointment, call or message Marianne on 0431639911 or visit www.betterlifebowen.com.au

21.01.2022 I learnt about the ileocecal valve last year and how to treat it. It was fascinating to see results so quickly. Often, people think Bowen therapy only helps aches and pains, but it does amazing things for our digestion and gut health!

21.01.2022 Is your Bowen therapist appropriately qualified? Choosing a BAA member assures you that your practitioner has had at least 12-18 months of specific training in ...Bowen therapy and completes a minimum of 32 units of continuing professional education every 2 years.

20.01.2022 Ooh hello! Im on the front window! After 5 years of saying Ill order posters (and obv not doing so ) Ive got my name up for all to see! Im thankful for all my wonderful clients who share my business as Im terrible at staying on top of my marketing. #sticktomydayjob #bowentherapy #liveabetterlife

20.01.2022 The lymphatic system helps circulate white blood cells to take care of pathogens, bad bacteria, viruses, and other horrible stuff. So when your lymph system is... not moving the way it should, those important functions will be affected - big time! We have found Bowen to help the movement of lymph as part and parcel of a treatment. See more

20.01.2022 When youre touching the skin, youre touching the brain.

20.01.2022 Some clients have become so used to being in pain and usually we’re the end of the road. They’ve tried everything else and someone has suggested Bowen. We step in and get the body to start looking after itself again and healing. Could Bowen therapy be the answer to your pain? To book an appointment call or message Marianne on 0431639911 or visit www.betterlifebowen.com.au for more info

19.01.2022 Haha love this!

18.01.2022 Im sorry to all my hay fever sufferers that Im not able to work atm. This is when we would be doing preventative Bowen to stop or reduce those symptoms! As soon as I can get back to work, I will be in touch with all those on my priority list. If you want me to add your name, please msg me through fb or on 0431639911. I hope you are all keeping well

17.01.2022 This year, more than ever, we need to reach out and ask our family, friends, neighbours and children - R U OK?

16.01.2022 How many times do we get asked this question? Bowen is not a magic bullet, but it creates body awareness and sometimes thats all the body needs.

15.01.2022 High achievers such as Bear Grylls, use Bowen therapy regularly. In Bear Grylls' own words: With the slightest squiggle of her fingers, it felt like petrol was... being put back in my tank and I could feel all the stress seeping away. Stress is arguably one of the greatest causes of both mental and physical disease. Stress can block creativity, lower performance and vitality in all walks of life. Bowen therapy has been known to activate the parasympathetic state, which immediately relaxes the body and allows stress to seep away. When this happens the body is able to do what it does best and begin to heal itself. New science is suggesting that the greatest pharmacy known to man, exists within all of us. Bowen therapy can help to allow your body to activate its own magnificent natural healing power so that you can perform at your best, bring back vitality and feel more energised. Being a high achiever and adventurer, Bear Grylls needs to be in the best shape possible and having suffered severe back problems from a near-fatal parachute accident, he is now "hooked" on Bowen therapy and has it on a monthly basis. If can help this extreme adventurer, imagine what it will do for you!

15.01.2022 Sharing yet again as Melbourne goes into tighter restrictions for 6weeks. This has been hard on many, and will get harder still. Keep sharing this info. You never know who needs to see it I hope you all stay safe and healthy in this time and I look forward to helping you all when this is over

13.01.2022 I love receiving feedback from my clients

13.01.2022 A good reminder - especially for those of us in Melbourne! I hope you are all enjoying the sunshine today too

12.01.2022 This week I have a rare 9am appointment tomorrow, Tuesday 9 February. Need a realignment? Call or message Marianne on 0431639911 or visit www.betterlifebowen.com.au for more info

12.01.2022 Ill never forget one of the first times I did baby Bowen on an 18month old suffering with colic. Poor bubs was crying before he got in the door, the mother looked exhausted. I did the Bowen moves - its only 5 moves - after the first 2 moves, the intensity of his crying eased slightly, after the last 3 moves, he fell asleep lying on my Bowen table. It was a humbling experience, and I wish Id known about Bowen therapy when my 4 children were babies! If your baby seems unsettled, off balance, or often catches whatever virus is going around, Bowen therapy may help!

11.01.2022 Due to a last minute cancellation, I have a 10am appointment available TOMORROW, Tuesday 16 June! If you are in need of a treatment, call or message Marianne on 0431 639 911 to book in this spot

11.01.2022 So many clients were so happy to see me yesterday! I felt very loved It was not surprising though to see that under the stress of the last few months many had fallen back into old pain and symptom patterns. One male client in particular - restless nights sleep, heart palpitations, anxiety and brain fog. He was feeling exhausted and each sleepless night created more stress and anxiety. Yesterdays treatment was all about resetting the body. Throughout the treatment came ...waves of anxiety - this can happen sometimes. Its like the body is fighting to stay in STRESS mode (fight or fight). I continued with the Bowen treatment slowly, making sure he had plenty of rest between each set of moves - we dont want to add more stress to the body, and the rest times give the body a chance to process each set of moves to put the client in REST mode (rest, digest, repair). Todays message - that was the best nights sleep Ive had in a very long time! I really needed it - I feel like a new person!! To book an appointment, call or message Marianne on 0431639911 or visit www.betterlifebowen.com.au #bowenworks #pain #anxiety #youdonthavetolivewithpain #liveabetterlife #betterlifebowen **disclaimer - this client has had his health checked regularly by his Doctor - if you experience any heart pain or palpitations, it is always best to see your Dr. See more

11.01.2022 Ever wondered why we pause during a treatment? "We don’t put breaks in because that is what Tom Bowen did, we put them in because of the evidence we have that the breaks have a significant effect on the overall outcome of the treatment." A great post by Julian Baker!

11.01.2022 I love this!! So often I hear people tell me about an ache or pain and then another seemingly unrelated issue. Everything in the body is connected!

10.01.2022 Im sharing this again, as I know lockdown 2.0 has been even harder for many in terms of their mental health. If you are struggling, there is help available. Please share this important information, as you never know who may need it

09.01.2022 TENNIS ELBOW VS. GOLFER'S ELBOW - WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE? While many people are familiar with the names of these conditions, there is less widespread understan...ding about how they differ. Both tennis elbow, or lateral epicondylitis, and golfers elbow, or medial epicondylitis, are injuries to the tendons attaching your forearm muscles to the bone at your elbow. The epicondyle part of epicondylitis refers to the bony bumps or protrusions at your elbow. Lateral epicondylitis affects the tendons attached to the outer (lateral) side of your elbow, which are connected in turn to the muscles that extend your wrist backward and straighten your fingers. Medial epicondylitis affects tendons connected to the inner (medial) side of your elbow, which are attached to the muscles that flex your wrist and contract your fingers when you grip something. Both injuries are usually the result of repetitive strain on the tendons, and although you dont have to be a golfer or tennis player to experience them, the repeated forceful motions involved in both sports make them very common. The anatomical structures involved in tennis elbow and golfers elbow are very similar and the symptoms are also similar, but they appear on opposite sides of the elbow and arm. SYMPTOMS Common symptoms of tennis elbow include: Pain that radiates from the outside of your elbow and down your forearm Tenderness on the outside of your elbow Weakness in your forearm or a weak grip Pain when you grip things, twist something or, if you play tennis, especially with backhand strokes Golfers elbow symptoms are similar, but occur on the inside of your arm and include: Pain and tenderness on the inside of your elbow Pain that radiates down your arm from the inside of your elbow Weakness in your hand or wrist Numbness or tingling in your ring and little fingers Pain when you grip or twist things Pain when you flex your wrist

06.01.2022 Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is a prime example of when you shouldnt be chasing pain to get on top of a problem. It is very seldom a wrist problem. Instead, look at... the shoulder and clavicular area. Also neck and TMJ. And of course, those could be having a problem because of an old ankle injury. Always look at the bigger picture. See more

01.01.2022 Victorian Bowen therapists have been given the green light to continue working (for now), so tomorrow's appointments will proceed as scheduled. However, I have made the decision to stop working after this week as my children will (most likely) return to at home learning, as we start term 3. Ill keep you updated if I have any cancellations come up for tomorrow, in case anyone wants to squeeze in a last treatment before lockdown. I hope you all stay well during this time - when we come out of this period of lock down, spring will be in the air, and I hope that thought will keep everyones spirits lifted.

01.01.2022 Pelvic work is so important for whole body health and wellness!
