Bowtech Bowen Therapy
Bowen Therapy is a very gentle, non-invasive technique consisting of a series of precise moves on specific areas, stimulating energy flow and activating the body's own resources for healing. It empowers the body to heal itself by addressing not only the musculoskeletal framework but also the fascia, nerves and internal organs.
The beauty of Bowen Therapy is that it will not interfere, and works well, with all medication and/or dietary supplements. It is gentle but powerful, releasing muscle tension and bringing the body back to a state of homeostasis or balance. Bowen is a stand-alone treatment of about one hour and, in many cases, only one to three treatments one week apart are required to treat most symptoms. It is recommended not to have any other bodywork a week before or after Bowen i.e. physio, chiro or massage, and it is advisable to plan time to relax, walk or undertake light stretches after your treatment. It is also recommended to drink at least two litres of water on the day of treatment to eliminate toxins and wait three to ten days for full effect.
I describe Bowen Therapy as "a ripple effect" - it's like dropping a pebble in a pond and the ripples flow across and back again. The effect of Bowen on the body is very similar.

Oncology Massage
Oncology Massage is the modification of existing massage therapy techniques in order to safely work with complications of cancer and cancer treatment. For anyone who has ever received cancer treatment, whether currently undergoing active treatment or in recovery/survivorship, as well as end of life stage, they are best to be treated by a massage therapist who has received training in oncology massage.
Essential aspects of an oncology massage therapist's skill set are an informed understanding of the disease itself and the many ways it can affect the human body. In addition, the side-effects of cancer treatments, such as medications, surgery, chemotherapy and radiation are all taken into consideration when treating with massage. The ability to modify massage techniques in order to adapt to these side-effects, as well as the disease, are essential for a safe and effective treatment They are all treated holistically.

I look forward to my fortnightly therapy treatments with Suzanne as I receive so much from them. Her genuine personal concern about how I am coping and what I'm going through is very comforting and beneficial to my overall well-being.
