It is designed to elicit the most dramatic of natural healing responses. How we work with you is quite simple and profound. Our role is one of assessing your present state of balance. You may come to us from a doctor, with a specific diagnosis. There may be body imbalances you are very aware of. You may have completed other treatments and haven't gotten relief. We will explore your history and assess your physical condition to know where you are best supported in returning to pain free balance. Bowenwork is about encouraging what is already healthy. In this, what is imbalanced, receives an important message about changing. Soft physical "moves" over muscles and other soft tissues trigger your body's ability to heal. Your Healing Response is revitalized with a Relaxation Response. Achieving relaxation supports calm; when the body is at this place of calm, its innate healing mechanism functions optimally. Bowenwork utilizes the body's natural neurological abilities, engaging an inherent repatterning process. If your condition has existed for some time, or it's a recent injury, together we will formulate your road to Wellness! Where does Bowenwork originate? Bowenwork was developed in Australia by the late Tom Bowen. His expertise advanced from skillful sports injury treatments to proficiency in pain elimination. The Bowenwork technique also revealed results with common ailments and dysfunctions. Interest in these specialized techniques drew others to study Bowenwork methodology. Today's Practitioners learn from highly qualified and Internationally Authorized Teachers. More about Tom Bowen >> Oswald Rentsch, one of the the founders of Bowtech®, the original Bowen Technique, was Tom Bowen's apprentice for many years. Since 1990, together with his wife Elaine, they have been traveling the world teaching the teachers of Bowenwork as well as advanced classes for Practitioners. Ossie and Elaine have inspired students and teachers to learn and work with the highest integrity of Tom Bowen's gift to the world.

Within a few sessions, problem areas are significantly addressed. Chronic conditions shift when Bowenwork is received over a longer duration. Procedures applied with timely significance allow release old patterns. The "tissue memory" held by the original trauma is disabled and full movement can return. Bowenwork provides an environment where neurological functioning normalizes. With sustained neuromuscular balance, pain free performance returns. What is a session like? Bowenwork feels subtle. Short specific moves trigger the body's relaxation response. You may fall asleep or be aware of gentle sensations. Most clients report a significant release of tension. Some moves are more dramatic - especially where your body has held long term dysfunction and/or pain. Your body will shift, allowing regeneration and healing.

John F. Barnes Approach to Myofascial Release
Is Your Pain No Longer Treatable by Traditional Healthcare?
The traditional medical approach is to medicate patients so they are temporarily free from pain; physical, occupational and massage therapies treat the symptoms caused by the pressure on the Myofascial system, which does not directly affect the cause of the problem. These traditional therapies frequently address pain as a lack of strength, which includes strengthening as a means to reduce pain. What is overlooked is the tightness in the soft tissue that is pulling the physical structure out of alignment, creating pain. Strengthening an already tight system often only makes the problem worse. While many could benefit from overall strength gains, weakness is not the cause of pain. MFR relieves the tightness and pressure from your body, allowing strength and function to return in a natural manner and returning you to your desired state. MFR addresses all areas, concentrating on the deep musculature. By taking the strain off the affected area, the body can resume its normal, healthy posture. MFR returns flexibility to the body after surgery or injury, decreasing or eliminating problems due to scar tissue. Only MFR treats the entire Myofascial mind/body complex eliminating the pressure of the restrictions in the Myofascial system that cause the symptoms. Often, MFR can eliminate pain from fascial restrictions so much so that the use of pain medication may be eliminated. Physical relief from pain can also bring the potential for simultaneous emotional release. MFR Treatment sessions are not meant to be a one-time, "quick-fix" for any issue. It has either taken time, or trauma for a person's body to get to it's current state, so the duration of treatment depends on the severity of the condition, how the individual's body responds, and the participation of that individual. The Healing Wind MFR Therapy Philosophy: The physical body stores everything you have ever experienced – emotions, beliefs, and memories – even events our minds have chosen to forget. So when we work with the body using both structural and energetic work, change occurs in more than just the physical structures and physiological functions. The body actually processes and releases energy that is blocking healthy functioning of the system – physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. Working at an energetic and consciousness level, enables access to the reasons for imbalance. This means that when you allow yourself to be present and connect to both physical and emotional components, you can also connect to the past trauma, in order to clear the imbalance. Often, matters you forgot about, or thought you had already dealt with, on an intellectual level, come up. Emotions such as sadness, anger or fear may surface, but once they do, you may have some epiphanies related to the matter. It can be a new beginning that reveals aspects of yourself which you were previously unaware of.
