Patrick Matthews is a fully B.T.A. qualified
Bowen Technique Massage Therapist, running
Bowen Therapy clinics in both the
Algarve and Lisbon areas of
Portugal.
The Bowen Technique is a simple, yet
highly specific, hands-on procedure which has been
widely practised in Australia since its development in
the 1950`s by Mr. Tom Bowen.
Unique in the field of bodywork, the Bowen Technique´s
relatively few, gentle moves over muscle and connective
tissue address the whole body, stimulating it to reset
and heal
itself. A Bowen Therapy session lasts
from half an hour to an hour, leaving the patient
feeling balanced and in a state of full relaxation;
studies having shown that deep levels
of relaxation have a positive effect on our immune and
hormonal systems.
The Bowen Technique is also extremely
effective in the treatment of musculo-skeletal problems.
Back pain, neck pain sports injuries
and many other ailments have been cured by the Bowen
Technique. There are many theories as to how the Bowen
Technique works, but none that completely explain its
holistic effect and often outstanding results.
The Bowen Technique (Bowtech) is
currently being used in U.K hospitals and private
clinics around Europe. Non-invasive and cost-effective,
Bowen Therapy treatment has a
demonstrable effect on many chronic medical problems,
including asthma, hay fever, and various types of pains
and headaches.
Psychological effects are also widely reported by
Bowen Therapists and their patients.
These effects include increased ability to focus, mood
elevation, improved sleep quality
and better coping skills. The beneficial effects of
Bowen Therapy have been attributed to
its ability to return the body to a more balanced state
of equilibrium.
