What is Bowen Therapy & How safe is it?
Bowen Therapy is a gentle manual therapy, in which subtle but precise moves are preformed over the muscles and connective tissues. You cannot affect one part of the body without affecting something else. Bowen Therapy is completely non invasive! It is safe for everyone from newborns to the elderly including expectant mother.
How does Bowen Therapy work?
The connective tissue that surrounds every muscle, tendon, ligament and organ, blends into the connective tissue of another. Once the muscle tissues are activated the body sends neurological impulses to the brain, which in return relax the muscles and the nerves that are not working properly.

How does Bowen Therapy differ from other therapies?
- Bowen is not Chiropractic. There is no manipulation of your joints or bone structure, making it completely non invasive.
- Bowen is not Massage Therapy. There is no deep or prolonged contact with muscle tissues – however, muscle tensions and strains are relieved and normal lymphatic flow is restored.
- Bowen is not Acupressure. Although some traditional acupoints are included in the sequences, they are not addressed or organized in anything resembling Chinese medical theory.
- There is no heavy probing of fascia or connective tissue as in Rolfing or deep-tissue work – however, fascia re-hydrates, adhesions release and scar tissue softens and shrinks.
- Bowen is not an Emotional Release Modality. There is no strategic ‘duress’ or invoking of emotional content as in “mind-body” therapies – however, internal psychological shifts are very common.
- Bowen is not Energy Work. There is no redirecting of energies, however nearly everyone reports a pleasant trance, and a profound sense of well-being and ease.
Experience Relief with Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave therapy is designed to accelerate healing and reduce pain, it uses acoustic waves to stimulate your body’s natural recovery process. It’s ideal for treating chronic pain, muscle injuries, and joint discomfort.
How does it work?
Shockwave therapy delivers high-energy sound waves to the affected area. These waves stimulate blood flow, break down scar tissue, and trigger your body’s natural healing response, helping to reduce pain and improve mobility.
How long are the sessions?
Sessions typically last 5 to 20 minutes, depending on the area being treated and the condition. Most patients require 3 to 6 sessions, spaced about a week apart, to achieve optimal results.
What should I expect during and after my session?
During the Session: A gel will be applied to the treatment area to help transmit the acoustic waves effectively. A handheld device is then used to deliver the waves, which may cause mild discomfort depending on the sensitivity of the area.
After the Session: Some patients experience temporary redness, soreness, or swelling, similar to post-exercise soreness, which typically subsides within a few days.
Results: Many people notice improvement after the first session. This of course depends on how chronic/severe your pain is, with results continuing to improve over time.
Who Is Shockwave Therapy For?
Shockwave therapy is for anyone experiencing pain or discomfort, whether from chronic conditions, injuries, or overuse. It’s especially helpful for:
- Chronic pain or inflammation in muscles, tendons, or joints.
- Conditions like plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow, or calcific shoulder tendinitis.
- Sports injuries, overuse injuries, or delayed healing.
- Scar tissue buildup or soft tissue damage.

Boost your Recovery with Kinesiology Taping
Kinesiology taping is a therapeutic technique that involves applying a specialized elastic tape to the skin. The tape helps support and stabilize muscles and joints without restricting movement. It’s a non-invasive treatment used by anyone seeking relief from muscle pain, tension, or injury.
How does it work?
The tape works by lifting the skin slightly, which enhances circulation and lymphatic drainage. This process reduces swelling, alleviates pressure, and helps the body heal naturally. The tape moves with your body, providing support without limiting range of motion, making it ideal for active individuals.
Who Benefits from Kinesiology Taping?
Kinesiology taping is suitable for a wide range of people, including:
- Athletes: For injury prevention, muscle support, and recovery.
- People with Chronic Pain: It helps alleviate discomfort caused by conditions like arthritis or muscle strain.
- Post-Surgery or Injury Recovery: It can aid in the healing of soft tissue injuries and prevent further damage.
- Those with Poor Posture: The tape helps align muscles and joints, promoting better posture.
- Anyone Experiencing Muscle Tension or Discomfort: Ideal for anyone looking to relieve muscle tightness or improve movement.
What are the key benefits?
- Supports muscles and joints without restricting movement.
- Reduces pain and inflammation.
- Enhances circulation and promotes healing.
- Ideal for sports injuries, chronic conditions, and general muscle recovery.
- Non-invasive, drug-free, and safe for most people.
How long does it take to feel the results?
The time it takes to see results from kinesiology taping can vary depending on the individual and the condition being treated. However, many people notice improvements within 24 to 48 hours after the tape is applied. For ongoing issues, it may take several sessions to experience full benefits, especially if the tape is used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan. The tape can stay in place for 3 to 5 days, so continuous support may help accelerate healing over time.
