part of life




A lot of people seem to think they are sore because that’s part of life, part of getting older.
This is not necessarily through. Our body doesn’t like being sore, it’s just that it doesn’t know how to make itself better.
The Bowen can help with this.
Each move we do on the body is a signal to the body of how to realign itself.
So after the treatment the body is going to adjust itself and put itself back into alignment. This might take a couple of days, but because the body has done it itself instead of being pushed back into place it is more likely to stay like this.
When the body is pushed back into place the muscles (muscles have a muscle memory) will go back to what they remember before they had the treatment hence your back to being sore again.
I hear all the time: “I have been there or I have had such and such treatment, but it only last a couple of days”.
Now you know why, the body goes back to what it was before that particular treatment because that’s what the muscles remember.
After Bowen the muscles take on a new position by themself and that’s why the muscle memory will be replaced with the new position the muscles are in.
It might take a couple of days for the body to do so as it usually takes a couple of days for the body to get sore again after some other types of treatment.
