How the Bowen works?

There are several mechanisms through which Bowen work can be is explained. The basic one is Proprioception.

The Bowen moves stimulates the proprioceptors (sensory fibres at the end of the peripheral nervous system). The release of the movement creates a vibration wave transmitting through nerve pathways to the spinal cord. Thus stimulating the spinal reflexes and brain.  As a result, the effect of Bowen moves is spread not only in the area where it is performed, but also to the corresponding dermatome and reflex zone.

Fascia

Almost every Bowen move is made ​on the superficial fascia. Fascia plays an important role in maintaining the structural integrity and the shape of the body. This is a fibrous connective tissue that surrounds and supports muscles, blood vessels, nerves, tissues and the organs of the body. It separates the different muscle groups and fibres down to microscopic level, allowing optimal health and movement of fluid into the tissues. They are extremely rich of neuroreceptors: their number in the fascia is greater than their number in the skin. The limitations in fascia mobility reflect extremely negative on the body posture and on the general health.

Piezoelectricity

When pressure is put on a certain tissue of the body, the electric charge and the fluid levels at that point change. This is why the gentle stretching and pressure of the Bowen moves create piezoelectric potential in the fascia and in its liquids, and this leads to improvement of its mobility and increases the microcirculation in the affected tissues.

Soliton waves

It is discovered that Soliton waves released in the body by performing Bowen moves, create vibrations (resonance) that clear the bad resonance accumulated over time by toxins, diseases, injuries and emotions.
