The Bowen Move
The Bowen move
itself is a study in delicacy. The structure (e.g., a muscle, tendon, or nerve
sheath) is identified with the thumb or fingers. The skin slack is gently
tractioned in the opposite direction to the intended move. Then the muscle is
challenged with gentle pressure in the direction of the intended move. Finally
the skin is allowed to move across the structure to the limit of available skin
slack.
Although
individual moves used alone may produce a positive effect, the full benefit of
the technique is gained through a complimentary series of moves. Only a limited
number of sequences are needed each session so the technique is simple to do and
gentle on the patient.
