Bowen on Wilderness
Welcome to Bowen on Wilderness
a Margaret River based Bowen Therapy Clinic
At Bowen on Wilderness we specialise in Bowtech Bowen Therapy, a globally recognised healing modality. Bowen Therapy is a gentle yet deeply relaxing and dynamic form of bodywork that stimulates the ventral branch of the vagus nerve. This allows the body to passively enter into a natural state of ‘rest and repair” via the bodies nervous system.

Bowen on Wilderness reviews:
Over a lifetime I have done a lot of very hard sports such as football, boxing, surfing and many others. To say my body is carrying old injuries is an understatement. I find that Bowen Therapy takes away all my aches and pains in the most relaxing way possible. I have had all sorts of different sports massages and therapeutic massages. I have found that Bowen Therapy has far greater benefit for me than these other treatments. I also find that Bowen Therapy is a great source of stress relief. It is so relaxing that I enter a dream like state while I am awake. Perfect for the person who wants to calm their mind and their body.

How It Works
Bowen Therapy works through the autonomic nervous system –
Vagus nerve activation
Bowen moves will activate the parasympathetic nervous system bringing the body into a state of healing and enabling deep rest and recovery
Bowen helps the body to get the ventral branch of the vagus nerve functioning normally again. The vagus nerve has the important job of ending your body’s fight-or-flight response once a stress has passed.
Bowen Therapy can help to reduce inflammatory responses in the body
Helping your vagus nerve to function well is essential for mood regulation and is a proven treatment for depression and anxiety.

Bowen Therapy – What to expect
Upon arrival you will be greeted and asked to fill out a little information about the main reason for your visit and any relevant health conditions.
At the beginning of the treatment you lay down on the massage table (Bowen Therapy can also be done seated or standing if necessary) and your therapist will begin her treatment applying gentle Bowen moves in specific sequences.
During the session there are pauses or ‘breaks’ between sequences of moves where the therapist will leave your body alone allowing you to relax. This lets your body integrate the work that has just been done. The nervous system needs time to send information to the brain and then signal a response or adjustment in what is known as a feedback loop.
These breaks are approximately 2 minutes in duration.
Sessions may last up to an hour depending on the client and the client’s response. The length of the session does not relate to the efficacy of the Bowen Technique.
Less is more.
At the end of the session when you slowly sit up there may be a few further tests and some work done on your neck and shoulders if necessary.
Post session we advise all clients to:
Take short walks regularly
Take it easy and not over do it or drive long distances
Drink plenty of water to rehydrate cells and restore tissue fluidity
Wait for a week before any further Bowen Therapy or other form of body work
