Known for its gentle rolling motions and intentional pauses between moves, the technique has been shown to bring extraordinary pain management results with very little pressure on the part of the therapist.Yet until now, little has been known of the actual workings of this technique. Tom Bowen himself called it simply a “gift from God” and treated thousands of people without trying to understand the processes that drove his results.This book fills in the gap in scientific understanding by explaining in anatomical terms what happens during a Bowen technique treatment. Author Julian Baker shows how traditional anatomy fails to fully explain the complex biomechanical relationships that make up human movement. Each move of the technique is analyzed in depth, with an emphasis on the role of fascia and connective tissue. ReviewAuthor Julian Baker, a leading teacher of the Bowen Technique, paves the way in Bowen Unravelled: A Journey Into the Facial Understanding of the Bowen Technique. After many years’ experience working with other Bowen Technique practitioners, Baker set out to write this comprehensive, groundbreaking work that bridges the gap between alternative therapy, anatomical reasoning and scientific understanding of the Bowen Technique, one of the fastest-growing connective tissue therapies in the world. Bowen Unravelled explores the core concepts of the Bowen Technique, developing an understanding of what occurs within the body during treatment and providing explanations why. Individual chapters provide information for practical application of the technique on specific areas of the body. Boasting over 20 years’ experience, Baker has witnessed the huge growth of the techniques’ popularity amongst both patient and practitioner; the technique “has been shown time and again to bring extraordinary results with very little pressure on the therapist.” Another top-notch production from Lotus Publishing, Bowen Unravelled is clear and concise, featuring high-quality paper and full-colour images.
