The motto of the National Bowen Academy of Australia is, "every body is better with Bowen." There, it is used on the field by sports team trainers to help injured players get back in the game immediately, and to keep athletic performance levels high. At Oriens, clients often alternate Bowen and acupuncture for injury and pain rehabilitation, or for simple de-stress and relaxation. Bowen is also significant for internal health issues, fertility, relaxation and detoxification. Oriens Founder Elizabeth Carpenter, MS, L.Ac., CEFP will fully evaluate your specific concerns and customize a treatment plan to meet your needs.Bowen is a gentle and non-invasive treatment that subtly moves muscles and connective tissue. Bowen results are often compared to chiropractic, yet there is no cracking or strong manipulation. Bowen feels more like energy work. Instead of "adjusting" the body, the light-touch cues request the body to adjust or "reset" itself. The course of treatment is usually much shorter than for chiropractic - just 1-5 sessions.Studies show Bowen optimizes brain-musculoskeletal-nervous system messaging. Bowen helps the body retrieve cellular memory of a preferred, functional and balanced state.If you have pelvic restrictions or other structural imbalances that may be impacting your fertility, Bowen is a featured part of our Fertility Enhancement Care Plan.
