24.01.2022 Medical professionals around the world are choosing Bowen Therapy. Bowen is progressively becoming recognized as an invaluable complementary therapy. We intervi...ewed an array of medical professionals who utilize Bowen Therapy in ‘These Two Hands’ documentary, including, doctors, nurses, physiotherapists, midwives, pharmacists, to name a few. We were privileged to hear their amazing stories and how they have helped so many by using Bowen Therapy. In addition, they all highlighted the need for broader community awareness and acceptance as a stand-alone therapy to be integrated with orthodox medicine. The landscape of medicine around the world has been slowly progressing toward a more holistic and individualized approach to healing. This has been due to increase awareness with access to information through social media, limitations of orthodox medicine, cultural ties with traditional healing, a growing trend towards holistic and preventative medicine. This approach to healthcare incorporates a patient’s mind, spirituality, and sense of community into the healing process. Integrative medicine has been typically well received and the demand has been steadily increasing in primary hospitals in many countries in Europe, the USA, and Asia. Countries like China have led the way over the millennia, by incorporating specific healing foods, herbs, acupuncture, medical Chi Gong, and more hospitals. Currently, there is a great demand to integrate allopathic and traditional healing in developing countries. Many governments such as South Africa and India are moving forward with formal integration, undertaking the necessary research and policy changes. There is ‘huge potential’ for Bowen Therapy to be integrated into the mainstream health care system, in hospitals, rehabilitation centers, and medical clinics. ‘These Two Hands’ documentary project continues to be invaluable in helping to raise awareness and contribute to the growth of this incredible modality. We greatly appreciate your ongoing support. Please help us to continue to spread the word by engaging with us online, sharing our posts on Facebook and Instagram, and getting your connections to like our page. Thank you to the following Medical professionals for sharing your passion and insights: Andrea Neale, Dr. Jaimini Raniga, Eleanor Oyston, Georgi Ilchev, Maurao Murganti, and Merrin Wake.

19.01.2022 Taking good care of your body after Bowen can help to maximise its effects. Are you drinking enough water? Allowing time between sessions for your body to integ...rate? Not sitting for long periods of time (especially if your back is an issue)? Moving around regularly? Stretching? What you do after your Bowen session can matter. #Bowentherapy

18.01.2022 Happy Mother’s Day to all the mums out there from Jenny @ Quintessential Bowen

17.01.2022 Does you mind and spirit whisper to you?

15.01.2022 Just as our native trees are renewed and grow strong from the devastation of a bush fire, so too are our bodies renewed and grow stronger from a cellular level outwards during a Bowen Therapy treatment.

13.01.2022 Have you been keeping on top of those aches and pains? Maybe another Bowen treatment is what you need. There are appointment times available next week, both in Hahndorf on Thursday and Kanmantoo Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday.

13.01.2022 Muscle tone is what we get when we flex our muscles again and again and again, and it makes us strong. Vagal tone is what we get when we activate our vagus nerv...e again and again and again, and it keeps us calm. Vagal tone is #goals for anyone who experiences anxiety more than they’d like (which is basically anyone who experiences anxiety in their mind OR body when they aren’t in an actual life threatening situation!) Luckily for us Music is a FABULOSO way to stimulate the vagus nerve! Singing, humming, whistling, controlled breathing, laughing, playing a wind instrument, dancing, moving your body - these’ll do it for you! Unlike muscle tone we don’t need a gym membership, or a trainer - we just need to open our mouth and sing! Daily. Every chance we get xx www.allisondavies.com.au/Behaviours

11.01.2022 Could your stress levels do with taking down a peg or five? Bowen therapy is the answer

11.01.2022 Bowen Therapy has shown to be a powerful treatment for Sciatica. Sciatica can be a very debilitating condition and often tricky to treat. Sciatica is a term use...d to describe nerve pain in the leg that is caused by irritation and/or compression of the sciatic nerve. Sciatica originates in the lower back, radiates deep into the buttock, and travels down the leg, following the path of the large sciatic nerve. There are many different types of nerve pain that this condition can cause, burning, shooting, tingling, or numbness. Generally, the person experiences an overall sense of weakness in the area. Sciatica can be caused by a number of factors such as a herniated lumbar disc, lumbar spinal stenosis, lumbar degenerative disc disease, Spondylolisthesis, muscle spasms (particularly Psoas or Piriformis), Sacroiliac joint dysfunction, or Spinal Tumours. Doctors have a limited capacity to deal with sciatic and often prescribe the patient anti-inflammatory and pain medication and/or quartertone injection, then refer them on. Unfortunately, for many persons, this may lead to an endless stream of treatments achieving limited relief. Many Bowen Therapists have shared their experience with countless clients suffering from this condition and have had months of treatments with little resolve. Both patients and Bowen Therapists are often astounded at how quickly the Bowen technique can work. Sue Reed a registered nurse shares her experience, ‘I work in a large building that houses 115 elderly residence. There is a lot of walking around, 2 levels and long corridors. There is an incredible amount of paperwork and at times I spend long hours sitting. It is a lot to manage and my stress levels waver and during this time my sciatic plays up. Sometimes I can’t even lift my leg to go up the stairs or bend over to tie up my shoelaces, without feeling excruciating pain. After three sessions of Bowen Therapy with my prescribed exercises and now my sciatic has completely gone. It’s Heaven! I now go for quarterly tune-ups and don’t suffer with it anymore’. Interestingly Sue introduced Jim her husband to Bowen Therapy who was also suffering from sciatic and could no longer ride his motorbike and experienced limited mobility. Starmax Films interviewed him for our Documentary ‘These Two hands’, because he had one of the most incredible stories and was previously a huge ‘sceptic’. Charismatic Jim tells of his sciatic resolution in just one session and unexpectedly his PTSD induced nightmares also stopped immediately. He is now considering becoming a Bowen Therapist, he calls it, MAGIC!

08.01.2022 Every muscle is important, but did you know that the functions of the diaphragm affect the whole body system? Not only does the diaphragm play a crucial role in... breathing, it also plays a role in digestion, lymph movement, waste removal, posture, movement of the upper limbs and our emotional and psychological states. Pretty important! Time to see your Bowen therapist? Bordoni B, Purgol S, Bizzarri A, et al. (June 01, 2018) The Influence of Breathing on the Central Nervous System. Cureus 10(6): e2724.

03.01.2022 RHOMBOIDS MUSCLE PAIN Each one of us has had muscle pain at some point in our lives. Some people, however, experience worsening and commonly occurring muscle ...pain in certain areas. Among this is rhomboid muscle pain, which is more common and worse than any other pain and is one of the most frustrating pains. There are many people who don’t know where exactly is rhomboid muscle situated, but they have felt pain in that region at some time or other for sure. Pain of the rhomboid muscle is the pain, which is present in the upper back region just beneath the neck and between the upper shoulder blades. Rhomboid muscle helps in controlling the arms and shoulders. If you have spent an entire day carrying heavy load, then the rhomboid muscle bears the brunt of it. The rhomboid muscle is shaped like a triangle and is a very thin muscle. It is a skeletal muscle that is connected to the bone and helps in movement of the joints. The rhomboid muscles include rhomboid minor muscle and rhomboid major muscle. Rhomboid muscle connects the spine to the medial edges of the shoulder blades along with helping in maintaining a good posture. If these muscles are used excessively then it causes pain. This excessive use can result from playing sports, such as golf or tennis and can also occur from carrying heavy load on the upper back and even wrong movements, such as trying to reach for something heavy from a high shelf. All the muscles in the body are composed of many tiny muscle fibers. They have to move in unison for movement of the joints and limbs. All these tiny muscle fibers build up the muscle and hence are very strong. However, if isolated and left on their own they become weak and become more susceptible to tear. This is commonly seen when an individual goes to gym. Pain in the rhomboid muscle causes difficulty in the patient in moving his/her arms and can be described as mild to severe pain in the upper back. Treatment for Rhomboid Muscle Pain comprises of rest, cold compresses and medications. Possible Causes of Rhomboid Muscle: * Sitting on chair for long time with poor posture especially from prolonged use of computer * Sitting in a car for long time can strain your rhomboid muscles causing inflammation of the rhomboid muscle. Signs & Symptoms of Rhomboid Muscle Pain * Patient experiences pain and loss of movement. This is called as shoulder blade pain or rhomboid pain. * Patient will also have swelling as the body is healing from rhomboid muscle pain. This will result in more discomfort. * In some patients, there is compression of a nerve leading to acute shooting pain resulting in painful and difficult movements.
