The method involves light, rolling hand moves applied to very specific points on the body which encourages the body to activate its capacity of self-healing, to re-balance and return to its natural state of well-being. Bowen movements are stimulating the proprioceptors and sensory fibers of the peripheral nervous system.
The manipulations are made on the nerves, on fascia, tendons, muscles, joints, in order to send messages to the brain that the dysfunctional tension patterns in the body needs to be reorganized. Each series of moves are followed by pauses, allowing the body time to respond and integrate the work that has been done.
