What BOWTECH® is NOT BOWTECH is not massage......Rubbing or even prolonged touching around a recently performed BOWTECH move may interfere with its effectiveness. The moves are no deeper than the fascia of superficially accessible muscles and only gentle pressure is needed. BOWTECH is not acupressure.......Some areas of focus will coincide with acupuncture points as the latter are so numerous but BOWTECH is not acupressure. BOWTECH is not chiropractic.....There is no adjustment of bony structure. Most therapists and many patients observe vertebral movement but this is evidence of the body re-aligning itself. BOWTECH is not directional energy work.......Energy work may be intrusive and may focus excessively on accomplishing the desired result, which may or may not coincide with the patients needs. In contrast, BOWTECH therapist are encouraged to focus only on doing a precise movement accurately and then physically leave the room. BOWTECH is not physiotherapy or neuromuscular re-education.......Physiotherapy addresses the patient with a variety of exercises and therapies that target specific problems. It is believed that it is the techniques that produce the results. In contrast BOWTECH is a series of moves that are believed to stimulate the body to solve its own problems. BOWTECH is not trigger-point therapy.......Some points are unavoidably similar but most trigger points are found in the center of muscle whereas BOWTECH moves are done largely where there are two muscles or muscle groups overlap. BOWTECH is not fascia release.......With each BOWTECH move the fascia is minutely disturbed: it is not forcefully separated. After a series of BOWTECH sessions, adhesions may loosen and scar tissue may soften as BOWTECH stimulates the natural healing process. BOWTECH is not lymphatic massage.......BOWTECH does stimulate lymphatic releases. Sinuses may drain during the session and breast lumps have been reported to reduce within two weeks. BOWTECH does not, however, use vigorous stroking or lymphatic massage. BOWTECH is not an emotional release discipline.......The intent of a BOWTECH session is not to effect emotional releases but many report that the most striking result of the work is a lightening of their spirits and subtle but pervasive refocusing of troublesome emotional patterns. many therapists consciously focus on this interface between the physical and the emotional, trying to touch on what is hidden behind a protective wall of tense musculature. In comparison, BOWTECH confirms that the best access is gained by the least threatening approach.
