The Essential BowenFirstfor Professionals

The Healing Accelerator Program is open to the student who while learning the physical therapy also wants to experience first hand its healing benefits. This course gives you a full overview of the program and gives you the opportunity to upgrade to the CBHT Professional Program. The CBHT Professional Program, will prepare you for becoming a CBHT (Certified Bowen Health Therapist). Instruction will include: Basic Bowen Protocols, Lower and Upper body protocols that will help you eliminate your patient's pain and restore structure, function and wellbeing. The course will focus on the body-mind relationship and help you to become a better healing arts practitioner. 

If you do not have Anatomy and Physiology, please contact us at info@bowencollege.com or go to our website at www.bowencollege.com

The BowenFirst™ Technique is a body manipulation therapy that uses very gentle pressure to stimulate the brain to reboot the body. The practitioner uses thumbs and fingers on precise points to perform BowenFirst™'s unique set of rolling-type moves that activate nerve bundles below the muscle and soft tissue of the body. The Bowen experience is subtle, healing and relaxing. By stimulating meridian points in a specific order and with careful pauses in between, BowenFirst™ Technique prompts the body to reset, repair and balance itself. It is one of the strongest, fastest and most effective modalities for treating pain, chronic illness and improving overall health.

The first treatment is actually a “Reboot” treatment, which enables the body’s different programs to “re-start” and align. As BowenFirst™ is not purely a “physical” therapy, it integrates mind-body connections. It is different than other body-work techniques:

The first treatment is actually a “Reboot” treatment, which enables the body’s different programs to “re-start” and align. As BowenFirst™ is not purely a “physical” therapy, it integrates mind-body connections. It is different than other body-work techniques:

  • Bowen is gentle on the practitioner and gentle and safe for the client.
  •  Bowen therapy works quickly and permanently. Most patients report 50 – 80% improvement after 3 treatments and complete success before 10 treatments. This means less time and cost to the patient. This means more referrals for you!
  • A typical treatment takes approximately an hour. During the treatment the practitioner performs a series of “autonomic integrating moves (AIMs)” on various points on the body and then allows the body to integrate and respond. 
  • Treatments are normally performed once per week until recovery is achieved and then less often until 100%. Treatments should not be done less than 5 days apart in order to give the nervous system time to integrate and  heal.

How Does It Work?

Based on our understanding of physiology BowenFirst™ works on the nervous system through a variety of mechanisms:

  • Stimulates the superficial fascia underlying the skin and subcutaneous fat tissue. The fascia is the protein matrix that holds our body together. It is a semi-conductor involved in cellular communication. The body responds to BowenFirst™ stimulation by enhancing local healing and encouraging remodelling of fascia to promote mobility.
  • Stimulates the local sensory nervous system, causing a reflex impulse through the spinal cord to the brain and returning to the location of the stimulated point. This process is believed to be the mechanism by which BowenFirst™ breaks the cycle of dysfunctional repetitive pain loops that are often continuously firing, even after any evidence of tissue damage is gone.
  • Stimulates blood circulation. This process allows nutrients and healing factors to arrive at injured tissue or sluggish organs, increasing healing.
  • Stimulates lymphatic drainage. This process allows broken down cellular debris to be removed from the body and reduces swelling.
  • Switches the body from stress (sympathetic) mode to healing (parasympathetic) mode so that the body can heal. With our current lifestyle, we are almost always in sympathetic mode which substantially reduces our body’s capacity to heal. Regular treatments retrain the body’s autonomic nervous system allowing better balance and more time spent in healing mode.

HIP PAIN AND MIGRAINES- ALL GONE

“I first heard of Bowen Therapy through a colleague.  Since I’ve been having pain on my right hip and migraine behind my left eye for past several years, I thought why not give it a try. I had three appointments with Dr. Manon and I haven’t had any pain since.  I remember during session #2, Dr. Manon asked me to stand up and walk around.  I felt my head feeling really heavy and I could tell my balance was a bit off.  All Dr. Manon did was touched my crown chakra and voila – the feeling was gone!  It was amazing. I believe in what Dr. Manon does and have been thinking about taking some of her course.  I highly recommend Bowen Therapy to everyone. Dr. Manon, THANK YOU VERY MUCH!”

COCCYX & NECK PAIN OF OVER 40 YEARS – GONE FOR GOOD

“I injured my tailbone when I was five years old and lived with the pain, thinking nothing could be done about it. I came to see Dr. Bolliger for a completely different problem – my neck – and just happened to mention my tailbone because, as always, it hurt when I sat down. Dr. Bolliger said, “We can fix that.” I was really skeptical, but in one single Bowen treatment, with very few manipulations, Dr. Bolliger stopped the pain – for good. The pain was so ingrained that, even now, two years later, I still expect it when I sit down or get up, but thanks to Dr. Bolliger, it’s gone!

For twenty years, I had a very bad neck. It hurt and creaked when I turned my head in any direction. Dr. Bolliger’s Bowen treatments completely eliminated the problem. Now, two years later, I still move my neck freely. The treatment is so gentle that such dramatic results seem almost miraculous.”

– Doris Kiernan, Vancouver

POLYMYALGIA & FIBROMYALGIA GONE IN 2 MONTHS.

“Although I went into Dr. Bolliger’s office two months ago, a sceptic, and not understanding at all what I was embarking upon, today I am able to say that polymyalgia, the short term disease and fibromyalgia, the life sentence, are no longer a part of my life. Thanks to the gentle hands of Dr. Bolliger as she treated my symptoms and her quiet and confident explanation of what she was doing and how it should help me, I am able to confidently say that the for me. Bowen Treatment has proven itself a complete success for me.“

90% BETTER IN 4 TREATMENTS -CHRONIC KNEE PAIN

“For the last three years, I’ve had chronic pain in my right knee that was at times so bad I had to lift my leg up with my hand to get into my car. Five days after the fourth Bowen treatment with Dr. Manon, the pain is 90 per cent better. It’s like a miracle.

I’ve also had numbness in both my feet, which has improved, and I look forward to further improvement as my treatment continues.”

SCOLIOSIS BETTER AFTER A FEW TREATMENTS

“After 8 years of suffering  (Right Thoracic  Left Lumber Scoliosis) and trying various therapies like acupuncture, chiropractic treatments, massage therapy , pressure point and even traction, I thought I would have to live the rest of my life in pain.

One day while visiting my mom she gave me an article from the “Vancouver Sun” about how Bowen therapy has helped many people who have not had any success with other types of physiotherapy.

I decided to try Bowen therapy and it has changed my life drastically.

Before Bowen therapy my life consisted of going to work coming home and icing my spine down so that I was able to go to work the next day.

After a few treatments my life started to change for the better , I was able to go for walks without any pain in my lower back and the pain in my rib cage was almost all gone.

Two years later and with only 6 treatments over the period, I am now able to go for 2  hour walks  and do 1 hour of hard cardio in the gym on my days off. This is all thanks to Bowen therapy. “

DON’T QUIT – TRY BOWEN -SHOULDER PAIN

“So as to not bury the lead: Today is the first day in two years that I haven’t been in pain. I injured my shoulder to years ago and have tried a number of different therapies. Through a dear friend I was recommended to Bowen. I was warned that it would feel as if they weren’t doing anything. That was a bit misleading. It felt like a brief, but very relaxing massage. I felt refreshed and a bit looser after my first treatment. Then three days later I realized that the pain in my shoulder had diminished significantly. I’ve done only two more treatments since and with each day the range of motion increases. Today I noticed that under normal load and activity I had very little discomfort and no pain. I would say to anyone who has given up on finding relief, don’t quit yet. Try Bowen.”

TAKING BACK YOUR HEALTH AND YOUR LIFE

“I was born with medical challenges that got progressively worse over time and further complicated due to repeated traumas and injuries and two major brain injuries.  I have seen many specialists, tried many medications, and many therapies with little results until now.

Since having Bowen Therapy I now have a quality of life the medical profession never expected me to have.  They said I would be bed ridden.

Before Bowen I used a walker (8yrs), wore multiple braces on my joints (10yrs), fell often and dislocated daily.  I had chronic anemia(since birth), insomnia, couldn’t sleep flat and be able to breath, memory trouble, numbness and tingling, spasms, fatigue, asthma, Sjogren’s, DJD, carpal tunnel, stomach trouble, bowel trouble, osteopenia, osteoarthritis, ,neurological issues, hyper mobile lax joints(since birth), chronic pain, and a host of other labels which never got to the root of the problem.

Since having Bowen I no longer wear braces or use a walker.  My legs don’t give out on me anymore and I rarely fall or dislocate my joints.  My iron is under control, my body accepts iron (never did before), and my cycle is regular and more normal (hemorrhaged before).  I sleep every night (without medication) and I can now sleep flat.  My memory has improved so much I’m doing and learning new things all the time. The numbness and tingling has improved greatly and I have more energy.  My immune system is stronger as I get sick less often.  I no longer use inhalers. I no longer need carpal tunnel braces. My stomach is improving and my bowels are regular. It turns out my broken tailbone was blocking my bowel.  I am off many of the medications for pain as the pain has reduced and the rest for spasms have been reduced.  The neurological issues are helped with the Bowen as are the spasms and jerking.  My body is no longer always fighting itself.

Due to a broken collarbone that healed wrong and a surgery to fix it that further complicated things, Bowen is the only therapy I have found that helps my body relax and helps it align in a safe way allowing it to release and to heal.  The results are more than the therapists who worked on me expected and my doctors are amazed.  I am so grateful to have mobility and quality of life and I believe in Bowen so much that I have learned the Therapy myself.  I have been working with A.I.S.H. to try and get Bowen covered I believe everyone should have the right to safe effective options for their health and well being.  Bowen helped me mentally, emotionally and physically and gave me my life back.”
