Bowen Therapy for Fluid Flow
Did you know that our bodies are more than 70% water? That being the case, fluid flow in our tissues is very important. Moving the water in our tissues and doing it slowly leads to healthy hydrated fascia.
Stimulating the receptors and breaking adhesions has been thought to be the top priority in body work, but now researchers are finding that fluid dynamics are just as important, if not more. Moving the body’s fluid results in more lubricated tissues and, essentially, more mobility and ease.
Cells called fibroblasts are crucial players in this process. A fibroblast is a type of cell responsible for making the 
extracellular matrix and collagen. Together, these form the structural framework of tissues in animals and play an important role in tissue repair. Fibroblasts are the main connective tissue cells present in the body.
Fibroblasts really like slow movement, as confirmed by clinical studies. They respond positively, changing tissue structure. So, the slow speed of manipulation, which happens in a Bowen Therapy session, is extremely therapeutic. With Bowenwork, the intent is to push the water around, as the fibroblasts like it, so that the nutrients are distributed around the tissues, and the tensional forces are balanced.
Bowen Therapy’s slow and gentle manipulations cause the fluid in your cells to flow better and your fascia to be rehydrated, bringing quick, profound, and longer lasting resolution to pain and mobility issues than some other techniques that are deep and more invasive.
