But how does it work?
Massage, Bowen & HNC Technique affects the body primarily through the nervous and the bioenergetic systems, to bring it into a state of balance.
Fascia
The fascia plays a major role in muscle coordination, flexibility, postural alignment and overall structural and functional integrity. Massage, Bowen & HNC moves free the relationship between the fascia and the muscle being addressed.
Autonomic Nervous System Rebalancing
The autonomic nervous system controls over 80 per cent of bodily functions. For healing to happen, the body needs to shift from sympathetic parasympathetic dominance, which encourages the body to let go of physical and emotional stress. Massage, Bowen & HNC Technique can facilitate these positive shifts.
Stretch Reflex
Most Massage and Bowen moves are done either at the origin, insertion or belly of muscles, where the Golgi and Spindle nerve receptors are located. These receptors inform the nervous system of the state of tension, length or stretch in the muscles and are stimulated during the rolling / stretching part of the Bowen move and massage.
Joint Proprioceptors
All Massage, Bowen & HNC moves done around a joint directly affect the joints and ligaments, which are richly innervated with proprioceptors, nerves that sense the position of the body.
Blood & Lymphatic Circulation
Massage, Bowen & HNC Technique stimulates blood and lymphatic circulation and drainage. HNC’s light rubbing moves of neurolymphatic and neurovascular points stimulate the transmission of energy to the muscles and associated organs to turn on switches for lymph & blood flow that got switched off when the body is under stress.
Spinal Reflexes
Many Massage, Bowen and HNC moves are performed along the spine over the erector muscles. These moves appear to produce referred reactions to other areas of the body. Often people will mention that conditions were addressed, other than the one for which they originally sought consultation, even though the practitioner didn’t know about them.
(One of my clients came to me suffering from severe back pain. When she stood up after her session she exclaimed: “My knee pain is completely gone!” She had never mentioned her knee pain before the session!)
Acupuncture Points and Meridians
Bowen & HNC moves stimulate the circulation of energy which helps to clear energy blocks. Coincidentally, several of the moves are located along acupuncture meridians or on specific acupuncture points which are known to stimulate and balance the body’s energy.
