How does The Bowen Technique work?
The fascia is the white translucent connective tissue surrounding all the tissue of the body including the muscles (it also runs through them). It has a number of qualities important to the effectiveness of the working of the body itself and how Bowen improves this. One of the most important phenomena of the fascia that is utilised by the Bowen move is the Piezo-Electric Effect. Fascia possesses the extraordinary quality of Piezo-Electricity, whereby when you put energy in (the challenge and move) it releases energy in another form, in this case radiating an electric current from the move point. Because the fascia is continuous throughout the body, this electrical surge can travel the entire length of the body, but is often deliberately contained between two points (stoppers) thereby reverberating like a pebble dropped in a pond, though there is often also overflow that continues to travel on through the extended fascia sheets of the body. Bowen work also utilises the meridian system,
