25.01.2022 Did you know that your tight chest muscles may be causing you back pain (especially between the shoulder blades)? I see this combination of 3 muscles (pictured) needing to be treated in the vast majority of my clients. Usually on the dominant arm. https://www.facebook.com/511340419018873/posts/1811608002325435/

24.01.2022 This article resonates for a new client of mine so sharing for her info. :)

24.01.2022 This article discusses the importance of the gut in overall health, including emotions. It was so good I wanted to share it with my clients as I know some will really enjoy the read! x

23.01.2022 I love this video showing our fascia. Have a look. This is why I ask you to drink lots of water after a treatment. It is (or should be) highly hydrated. After a treatment fluids have moved out (some that were stagnant and containing toxins) and you need lots of fresh clean water to rehydrate it.

22.01.2022 I find that Bowen Therapy works beautifully to resolve this condition in many people (that Ive treated at least). Well worth a try!

22.01.2022 This is certainly something that I can usually assist with. Message or call me to book in.

22.01.2022 I can happily say that I am in the centre of this diagram.. doing what I love and am good at :)

21.01.2022 Some of my clients have seen me talking about this using my T-shirt, but I dont show everyone. This is a great video showing the effect of fascial restriction. It can be from tight muscles/fascia, dehydrated fascia or trauma to the area (eg scar tissue). If you live in Adelaide and need some help give me a call. Or find a Bowen Therapist or similar in your area.... https://www.facebook.com/SterlingStructuralTherapy/videos/985048771871766/?

21.01.2022 A great post! These pics are from a documentary shortly to be released about Tom Bowens life (where Bowen therapy came from!)

21.01.2022 Were in a time of reflection in the world, and I am personally also. I hope you are all well, and see you on the other side! xx

21.01.2022 How fabulous. If it’s time to be kind to your body and you’d like some help removing some of your aches and pains, feel free to book in :)

20.01.2022 A post regarding bush fire affected persons in the Adelaide Hills area at present. A few years ago I was able to set up and help bush fire affected persons at an emergency centre. This year, being Christmas time and school holidays (no child care) it is not possible to offer the same now. However, after Christmas - if you have affected friends or family who would like a treatment to help with trauma, exhaustion, and/or injuries, I will consider offering reduced price or grati...s (free) treatments on a case by case basis. I have a new clinic starting next month but for now I can only offer mobile or from my home West of the city. From mid January you will be able to visit me in Cowandilla, just off Sir Donald Bradman Drive. Wishing everyone affected all the best, and hoping the most important thing - your loved ones - are safe xx

20.01.2022 A must-read piece about interoception and the powerful connection between our bodies and emotions.

20.01.2022 Now here is a bone I love. This is a unique picture of it like I’ve not seen before. It’s misalignment can cause all sorts of potential issues in the body (read the list below!) How many therapists have you ever seen that have addressed this for you? Come and see me if you suspect you may have an issue here (maybe coz of unresolved conditions, no matter how many types of treatments you’ve tried before).... Another suggestion would be try a Craniosacral Therapist, who would also know how to address this.

19.01.2022 Its all connected! Bowen therapists understand that "the connective tissue structures in the body are continuous and interconnected in a multitude of ways. Th...e very same connective tissue that runs down the right side of the head also runs down the left side of the body. Low back pain can absolutely be caused by a problem in the cervical (neck) AND vice-versa!" Visit www.bowen.org.au to find a Bowen therapist in Australia. Worldwide, visit bowtech.com.

18.01.2022 Sharing another recent review... x

18.01.2022 A nice perspective for current times. Stay well everybody. X

18.01.2022 Fascia (connective tissue - that Bowen Therapists work on) acts as a second nervous system! https://www.doctorschierling.com//fascia-acts-as-second-ne

18.01.2022 Woo hoo! So Bowen Therapists are now allowed to practice again in SA. Let me know if you would like a tune up next week! I look forward to helping. Grace x

17.01.2022 Cool.. have a read!

17.01.2022 Your Vagus Nerve has far reaching influences. When the tone of the nerve is not right you may potentially experience heart palpitations, breathing difficulties, stomach problems, or a host of other bits n pieces. Come and see me if you feel you maybe need to give this beautiful governing nerve a bit of attention to assist in restoring balance.

17.01.2022 Here is a look at fascia.. what I work with in the body. It surrounds muscles (and each individual fibre) plus organs.. runs under your skin.. Fascia includes tendons and ligaments also, which is particularly dense and strong fascia. Im pretty sure this is NOT a human sample! ... https://www.facebook.com/healthystreet/videos/1011593195921774/?

16.01.2022 This is your last chance to get in for a tune up before Christmas. Make sure you don’t feel like Santa does below, on Christmas Day! Taking bookings now for times available on the following dates: Mon 14/12, Wed 16/12, Fri 18/12, Mon 21/12, Wed 23/12. ... Closed 24/12/20 - 5/1/21 inclusive Contact if any emergency during this period and I’ll see what I can do. Only working 2-3 days per week during school holidays then back to 5 days per week. Take care and get in touch if you need to! Grace x

15.01.2022 Bowen therapy is very calming on the nervous system and most clients feel wonderful after a session. There are also specific protocols in that therapy to assist Vagus nerve tone. Book in for a session if you feel you may benefit. See following article about this important governing nerve.... https://drarielleschwartz.com/vagus-nerve-disorders-dr-ari/#

14.01.2022 Merry Christmas to all my clients past and present! If you have any emergencies over the Xmas period let me know and if I can help I will. Otherwise feel free to come in for a tune up after the festivities, to get you back on track and unwind (relax) a little. Grace x

14.01.2022 Enjoy the read it if interests you.. I know at least a couple of you who will want to read it x

13.01.2022 As it currently stands (assuming no changes), Bowen Therapists in South Australia will be able to practice again from 8th of June. So if you need a tune up after this time feel free to message me.

13.01.2022 A lovely client gave this to me this morning, to welcome me to my new premises. Thank you Mary x

13.01.2022 I treat this muscle very frequently. The good news is that after a Bowen treatment (for this muscle or any inhibited muscle) you can often effectively stretch it again. It may be the fascia surrounding the muscle that is tight and preventing effective stretching which is why Bowen work - which works on the fascia and releases it - can be so very effective. There is also at times a problem with the muscle having a bad muscle memory pattern if it has been dysfunctional for a long time. In this case I prescribe a neuromuscular re-education exercise to teach it how to function normally again.

12.01.2022 Is it time for you to get a tune up? Our bodies need a service at least as often as our cars (and what matters more in the long run?!)

12.01.2022 Can you imagine?

12.01.2022 Did you know that without fascia (connective tissue) there is no skeleton - only a pile of bones on the floor? Conversely, remove the bones and you still have continuation throughout many structures of the body, in different fascial ‘lines’. Here is an illustration of the ‘deep front line’ of the body as well as a fascinating video showing how it all fits together. Did you know that the soles of your feet are connected to your tongue?!! This is why when treating a condition I may start far from it not at where the symptom presents, sometimes.. if you have a sore back and I start with your neck, it’s for good reason!

12.01.2022 I treat sore shoulders a lot. Here is some info about rotator cuff tears. They can heal more efficiently with Bowen but still take a little time. https://www.facebook.com/511340419018873/posts/1812690552217180/

11.01.2022 The body is such a fascinating thing.. I often discuss amazing facts or new discoveries with clients and peers

11.01.2022 This is what I see as I work on my clients.. I ‘see’ the muscles beneath your skin! And feel them.

10.01.2022 We're in a time of reflection in the world, and I am personally also. I hope you are all well, and see you on the other side! xx

08.01.2022 Here is some good advice about delivery positioning! If its relevant to anyone you know, please feel free to share. Given my new premises I think I may be about to start treating many more pregnant women than before. So you may also want to pass along to any expecting friends, that Bowen Therapy is a fantastic way to open up the whole tummy area, pelvis and sacrum, from a soft-tissue point of view. And just a few sacral moves in late pregnancy can be a godsend for relieving pain quickly.

08.01.2022 Ive assisted in treating symptoms of the arms and fingers many times. Usually the neck but sometimes there is impingement at shoulders elbows or wrists involved also. https://www.facebook.com/SpineHealth/videos/10159832335880760/

08.01.2022 A good reminder.

06.01.2022 Sometimes I feel the need to brag, even though I’m humble by nature. I saw a new client this morning, who has had sciatica for 30 years. She couldn’t even put her left foot flat on the floor most of the time. Sciatica gone in one session A follow up session is booked of course, but she’s already a pretty happy lady.

05.01.2022 I’m just sharing another recent testimonial that came in by email. . Always happy to help anyone I can. Lower Back Pain, Neck and Shoulder Pain and Stiffness. "I have suffered lower back pain for quite some years and 2019 saw it increase, especially after moving house. As a retired IT Specialist, spending many hours sitting in front of a computer screen, my neck and shoulders developed stiffness and some pain along with my lower back. After the first consultation with Gra...ce, the back pain greatly improved, and after some more sessions my neck and shoulders are now greatly improved with restored mobility and almost no pain. I had visited MANY chiros and physios over the years with little or no relief. Grace really has a talent! Thank you Grace" Regards, David Tuff

04.01.2022 Ok so it seems a timely time to discuss ICV (Ileocecal Valve) problems. Post Christmas, there may be a few more of you than usual experiencing some of the associated symptoms. Personally I did! My ICV closed.. I couldn't 'go' so to speak, whereas I'm used to good regularity. Below is a very good article describing ICV Syndrome. If any of these symptoms ring true for you, feel free to give me a call and I can try to address for you.... Luckily for you, I can do associated procedures with ease. Unlucky for me, I couldn't do it on myself (grr) so a few attempts were required. All good now though. Yay! Relief. Just to add to the article, there are other things that can cause some of these problems, such as crossing of legs, foods like chilli (for some people). https://www.truevitality.com.au//ileocecal-valve-syndrome/

03.01.2022 This may interest you. Did you know your body has ‘dermatomes’ (defined regions) as per below chart? A chart like this can provide clues as to where your problem originates, by tracking the pain area back to specific areas along the spine. Sometimes an issue begins with nerve impingement at the spine. I often consult a dermatone chart with a client to help determine where on their spine their sciatica is coming from, for example.. so I know where to start my work. ... Many clues can be gleaned by the dermatomes and the nerves which service them.

03.01.2022 How fabulous. If its time to be kind to your body and youd like some help removing some of your aches and pains, feel free to book in :)

02.01.2022 Heres a trick to try at home or in the office or wherever you are, if youre feeling a bit stressed. https://www.psychologytoday.com//longer-exhalations-are-ea

02.01.2022 Now *here* is a fabulous article about fascia and a new movie that has just been made (not yet released I understand) about it. Main takeaways are that the heath of your fascia is vitally important when it comes to pain in the body. Be active, stretch, stay well hydrated, and use therapies that restore or maintain fascia health. The article does not mention Bowen Therapy but rest assured, its a great one for restoring health to your fascia!! https://articles.mercola.com//2/09/01/what-is-fascia.aspx
