• THE BOWEN TECHNIQUE...

  Discover how you can recover from injuries faster, relieve pain from everyday symptoms of many ailments and improve the body’s own ability to heal. The Bowen Technique is a soft tissue therapy that is suitable for adults and children, including newborn babies and the elderly.

  The practitioner uses thumbs or fingers to make a series of precise, rolling-type moves over the muscle. During the treatment there are a series of breaks where the patient is left resting to allow their body to respond to the gentle moves that have been performed. The rest is an important part of the treatment and gives the body time to make the subtle and fine adjustments, which help to re-balance, relieve tension and reduce pain. It is these features, which make the Bowen Technique unique.

  An appointment will take approximately 45 minutes to an hour and most of the work can be performed through light clothing, so no need to de-robe. It is suggested that at least two to three treatments at weekly intervals are sufficient to achieve lasting relief; although further treatments may be required depending on the length of time of the injury. If the injury is chronic then a maintenance treatment may be needed.

• SPORTS THERAPHY MASSAGE...

  Are tight aching muscles preventing you from obtaining you maximum level of fitness? Sports Therapy may be the answer to your training restrictions.

  Sports Therapy massage is as important to your training as eating, sleeping and resting. It will help to rid the body of toxins that are a cause of pain in the body after rigorous training.

  How can it prevent injuries?

  The most common of all sports injuries is the over- use injury. It can develop slowly over a period of time – days, weeks, months or even years – and the sports person may not be aware of the problem until it reaches a critical level.

  As the Sports Therapist softens the tissues, these problems become apparent, as they remain hard and tense compared to the surrounding tissues. Specialist massage techniques are used to break these down thus enabling the muscles to function correctly, and increase performance. Left untreated they will cause pain, limit flexibility and performance
