Bowen Technique for sports injuries

Fast, effective sports injury treatment

Sports professionals and sports therapists in the US and Australia have long recognised the Bowen Technique as a highly effective method of treating and preventing sports injuries, and its reputation is now spreading among athletes of all disciplines in the UK.

Moreover, players are finding that Bowen treatment boosts energy, increases mobility and improves co-ordination, helping them raise their game to a new level. Studies show that competitors having regular Bowen treatments consistently perform better, and enjoy an accelerated rate of recovery from injury.

What the experts say about Bowen for sports

Renowned California-based sports therapist Craig Mattimoe said that, after many years of treating and preventing athletic injuries, he could “confidently report that no other broad-based modality in all of North America comes close to Bowen. Nothing else compares. I work mostly with athletes, particularly football players, who are big business in America, and Bowen literally outshines all of the current accepted sports medicine techniques, both traditional and alternative.”

Dr Jo Anne Whitaker, the distinguished US doctor and two-times winner of the Florida Amateur Women’s Golf Association Tournament, said: “The Bowen Technique helps break records in golf and prevents, as well as treats, golf-related injuries.”

Why choose Bowen to treat a sports injury?

Time and time again, Bowen therapy has been shown to produce rapid, long-term relief from sports injuries, with no side effects. Even in very serious or acute conditions where an injury has just occurred, the Bowen Technique is being used with enormous success. But why is Bowen so effective at treating and preventing sports injuries?

• Unlike most other therapies, the Bowen Technique treats the whole body. Chiropractic treatment, for example, may give temporary relief – but it only treats the spine, which can subsequently be “pulled back” into its originally misaligned state, especially in the case of long-term injuries.
  
  
• Although body or sports massage can ease muscles in spasm, numerous treatments may be necessary before tension and pain are dissipated. Bowen therapy, on the other hand, helps the body to make its own adjustments to achieve quick and long-lasting results.
  
  
• Physiotherapy, which is based on rehabilitation through exercise, can take many months to start showing results. Bowen therapy has successfully tackled sports injuries that have traditionally been treated with physiotherapy.
  
  
• Like no other therapy, the Bowen technique rapidly releases surface and deep-seated tensions that diminish the body’s ability to deflect torsional forces and punishing blows. This improves co-ordination, increases stamina and reduces vulnerability to injury.
