BOWEN TECHNIQUE with JOY WEST

Joy has always had a great interest in many aspects of health and healing, particularly nutrition, naturopathy and self development. Joy trained & qualified with E.C.B.S. as a Bowen practitioner and teacher.
The Bowen Technique incorporates many of the things Joy has learned over the years and believes in strongly.
She says:
It works with the whole person in a natural way which encourages/supports the body’s desire for homeostasis and health. Importantly, it encourages self-responsibility.

The Bowen technique is a soft tissue remedial therapy, named after its innovator Tom Bowen. The technique involves the therapist using fingers or thumbs to move over muscle, ligament tendon and fascia in various parts of the body.

The work is very subtle, relaxing and gentle involving no hard or prolonged pressure. During a session the client will lie on a therapy table or bed, although the work can be effectively carried out with the client in a chair.

N.S.T. with JOHN CLARKE

John uses Neurostructural Integration Technique with his clients.

The Neurostructural Integration Technique (N.S.T.) is a dynamic and skilful professional bodywork technique, which alerts the body’s innate healing wisdom to be activated. The resultant effect of this is a comprehensive reorganisation of the musculature of the body characterised by a lasting relief from pain and dysfunction plus an increase in energy levels. The response is most often profoundly effective and sometimes miraculous.

NST is essentially a soft tissue therapy designed to release muscles and fascia in a manner, which is safe for all ages, from new-borns to the elderly. It is often called contextual healing, as its main aim is to reintegrate the body as a whole. It is for this reason that there are no contraindications, essentially rendering the technique useful for a wide range of conditions from acute pain to chronic conditions.

A treatment comprises the application of sequences of specialised moves on the body,
carried out in a very specific and systematic manner. There is no forceful manipulation, rather a cross-fibre manoeuvring of muscle, tendon, ligament or nerve, using varying pressure and incorporating resting periods to allow the body to respond.

Throughout the session the recipient experiences deep relaxation, essentially providing the body with a “window of opportunity” to comprehensively reorganise itself via the natural activation of various neural reflexes.

Substantial relief is frequently attained after the first session; however long term resolution is generally attained after the second or third session. A session normally lasts around 1 hour.

It is common for individuals receiving this work to experience a wide range of reactions such as shifting body aches, hot and cold flushes, sweating and at times emotional releases, however these are a positive sign that the individual is returning to a better state of well being.

It is reasonable to state that the Neurostructural Integration Technique once applied creates a powerful context for change to take place in the musculoskeletal and visceral systems via what can only be described as a specific decoding of the nervous system and a comprehensive resetting of the body.

Conditions which frequently respond well to NST
o Spinal conditions
o Cranial conditions
o Headaches including migraines
o Neck conditions including whiplash
o Back conditions including pelvic, lumbar and thoracic
o Shoulder, elbow, wrist and hand conditions
o Leg, knee, ankle and foot conditions
o All visceral conditions
o Asthma and other respiratory conditions
o Arthritis and joint conditions
o Menstrual, fertility and menopausal conditions
o Accident injuries
o Sporting injuries
o Acute and chronic fatigue
o Stress conditions and emotional depression
