Athletes depend on their bodies performing optimally, with full mobility and range of motion. When an injury happens, Bowen can help in the recovery.
Bowenwork® helps athletes maintain peak performance, range of motion, and recover from injury.
Bowenwork® is a safe, comfortable and a truly holistic modality that moves to balance the entire human body…no matter how old it is. . The gentle and precise system of touches called ‘Bowen moves’ are performed over clothing. Bowenwork® resets the messages in the brain, turning them into powerful healing messages and creating a positive change that lasts.
Bowen works to balance the balance hormones and chemistry in the body, relax muscles, tension and stress, increase blood flow, and align posture. The result can lead to restored mobility and range of motion, less pain, fewer injuries, mental clarity, and more treasured moments of being at the top of your game!
Did You Know?
- Muscle lesions are the most common category of injuries in athletes and comprise approximately 10% to 55% of all injuries
- Chronic-overuse shoulder injuries can occur in sports that require the shoulder to perform similar motions repeatedly. Negative effects of shoulder injury can range from a significant reduction in playing time to lifelong shoulder instability or shoulder degeneration over time.
- Hamstring (HS) injuries are described as frustrating for athletes as they are correlated with a long rehabilitation time; they have a tendency to recur and return to sport is unpredictable.

How Bowenwork® Helps
Bowenwork® is a system of touch that initiates a series of responses through stimulation of the nervous, musculoskeletal, fascial and energetic systems of the human body. Practitioners perform sequences of small stimulations, called “moves”, on specific points on the body, interspersed with rest periods.
The Bowenwork® moves stimulate mechanoreceptors (nerve endings) that overlie both muscles and acupoints. The body’s response to this stimulation, which begins during the rest periods, includes a balancing of the autonomic nervous system and changes in the musculoskeletal system in the direction of increased symmetry. These effects, in turn, remove blockages to the free flow of energy in the body.
From the point of view of complementary health care, when the body’s nervous and energetic systems are in balance, its physical, emotional and mental functions are able to return to a healthy state.
