Body Dynamics

Body Dynamics offers Bowen Therapy and other therapeutic techniques to address patient needs. Bowen Therapy is a remedial bodywork therapy effective in the treatment of injuries (including sports), chronic pain, stress management and overall musculoskeletal health.

When the musculoskeletal system is structurally unsound, the Central Nervous System is compromised, and the biomechanical and physiological function of the body will be impeded.

Bowen Therapy uses a series of manipulations over muscles, tendons, ligaments, nerves and fascia to achieve symmetrical tension or tone, in order to restore the structural integrity of the musculoskeletal system. These therapeutic interventions promote optimal function of the Central Nervous System and assist in resolving a variety of physiological and related neurological complaints.

The treatment is designed to stimulate the body’s systems including the nervous, endocrine, lymphatic and fascial. In doing so, Bowen Therapy adopts a holistic treatment approach, addressing the body as a whole while still focusing specific attention on the ailment. This approach is effective at addressing underlying causes as well as providing symptomatic relief.

A key differentiator between Bowen Therapy and other structural adjustment techniques is that Bowen Therapy does not employ the use of direct joint adjustments. The treatment approach is therefore easily adapted to accommodate a variety of patients from newborns to professional athletes.
