Bowen technique

Now, her, her name was Imogen, and, uh, she a- she actually introduced something called Touch for Health into the UK, which is now...

I'm not sure it, it still exists, but it, it, it's morphed into something I think called Bowen Technique.

Hmm.

Yeah.

It's safe during pregnancy and it is a physical therapy with a very different approach to most.

Number eight, the Bowen technique.

This is one that people are less familiar with, but it's worth knowing about.

It uses slow, gentle movements to manipulate the connective tissue, that's the fascia and the muscles.

If you've heard me talk about the chakra system on previous episodes, this is where that knowledge connects beautifully with a hands-on therapy.

Just a quick reference guide for safety in pregnancy.

So the practices that are safe during pregnancy include Reiki, reflexology, acupuncture, osteopathy, Alexander technique, Bowen technique, hypnotherapy, crystal healing and some elements of naturopathy.

Those which you need to proceed with caution are aromatherapy as some oils are not safe and herbal medicine because some herbs are not safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
