Bowen is a remedial body technique that is extremely gentle and relaxing. It empowers the body's own healing resources to achieve balance and harmony.
A testimonial by a mother of a child with Cerebal Palsy.
My name is A D and I am the mother of 2 year old Benjamin who has been attending The Natural Approach Healing Centre for treatment for his Cerebal Palsy.
The Catalyst for Ben's Cerebal Palsy (and other health issues) was the fact he was born 12 weeks prematurely. With under developed lungs and chronic lung disease, it now seems this conclusion was unfortunately imminent for Ben.
Ben was "officially" diagnosed with a mild form of Cerebal Palsy (called Spastic Dipligia affecting his lower limbs) at around 18 months of age.
Ben began seeing Sharon approximately 6 months ago.This treatment process has been gradual but with encouraging improvements along the way I put my faith in Sharon to help Ben with this therapy.
Defying the predictions of paediatricians, physiotherapists and other "main stream" specialists, after about 3-4 months of weekly-fortnightly visits with Sharon, Ben began standing on his own. He has recently started walking unaided! This has astounded his specialists who could never guarantee he would EVER walk unaided, let alone at two and a half!
The energy and devotion that Sharon has shown towards Ben and her genuine "need" to help and heal people with illness or disability is nothing short of inspirational. If only there were more like her in the health profession who would adopt these attitudes and practices, there would be far fewer people suffering with pain and illness.
I am honoured to give this testimonial on behalf of Ben. I wouldn't hesitate to encourage and recommend others to try Bowen Therapy.
With much thanks,
A D

Bowen is a remedial body technique that is extremely gentle and relaxing. It empowers the body's own healing resources to achieve balance and harmony which then results in lasting relief from pain and discomfort, often with substantial relief after the first session. Bowen Therapy uses a vibrational energy which makes it safe to use on anyone from newborns to the elderly for any complaint from sports injuries to chronic or organic conditions. Bowen facilitates the balancing of a range of conditions. It is a wholistic treatment which can address any problem. Bowen produces a body response which improves circulation, lymphatic and venous draining, assimilation of nutrients and elimination of toxins, joint mobility, posture, clearance of dysfunctional debris, normalization of cellular physiology and tissue integrity. At our centre a Bowen treatment consists of sequences of small moves, each at a specific site on the body. Therapist's use only light cross-fibre maneuvers of muscle, tendon or ligament with no forceful manipulation, so the treatment is pleasant for the recipient. The recipient will be asked to lie down for up to 60 minutes and need not disrobe. During this time the therapist will leave the room for periods of 2-5 minutes at a time to allow your muscles to make the changes necessary in your body before commencing the next sequence of moves. During the treatment the therapist will discuss the importance of water intake and will recommend any other environmental or lifestyle changes necessary to maintain your well being. Unlike other treatments available Bowen is not an ongoing therapy. In most cases the recipient can expect substantial relief after just the first session and complete recovery within a maximum of three sessions, except in the case of chronic illness or re-injury.
Some conditions that have responded well to Bowen include; sports and accident injuries, frozen shoulders, stress disorders, neck and head tension, whiplash, musculo-skeletal pain and imbalance, respiratory and asthma complaints, acute and chronic fatigue, strokes, bed wetting, digestive and menstrual complaints. Bowen balances the physical, mental and emotional planes. Its rejuvenating effect empowers the quality of our lives.
