About Bowenwork
Bowenwork is a therapeutic technique developed by Tom Bowen from Australia (1916- 1982). His unique method was based an approach of "resetting" the tension in dysfunctioning muscle groups, thus re-balancing the body from the inside out. The gentle Bowenwork "moves" are done with precision and deliberation.
How does it work?
The body has an innate ability to heal itself, if conditions are favorable. Bowenwork recognizes this principle and helps to reorganize the body's intrinsic systems to facilitate healing. There is a direct relationship between the structural framework of the body, the nervous system and internal organs. Bowenwork restores their functional integration by gentle moves that relax muscles, fascial tissue, and the nervous system.
What conditions can be helped by Bowenwork?
All bodies, all conditions can benefit from Bowenwork; there are no contra-indications. It is particularly useful in relieving muscular pains, and for postural realignment. It is excellent for fibromyalgic pain, neck and backaches. Sports and work related injuries respond quickly, allowing the client to resume activities sooner. Where there is swelling or congestion of tissue, Bowenwork activates the lymphatic system to improve drainage and function. Sinusitis, head colds and migraines respond well to the method. Bowenwork has a harmonizing and balancing effect on the nervous system; great for stress reduction and sleep disturbances. People of all ages can benefit from Bowenwork, from newborn infants to the elderly- enhancing the quality of everyone's life.

Many conditions respond within 2 to 3 sessions. Chronic and more complex conditions may require 6 to 10 appointments.
After conditions resolve, most people find a monthly maintenance session to be of great benefit. For more information, go to the national website: www.bowenworkacademyusa.com

Monica Bradley, LMT
Monica Bradley is a Colorado native and grew up in the Denver area skiing and enjoying the Rocky Mountains. An ACL knee surgery at age 16 from a skiing accident left her with restricted range of motion and an interest for helping people recover from injuries. After studying massage therapy, she moved to Seattle and pursued further education in the field of bodywork. While studying the fascial system, she achieved full range of motion in her knee and was fascinated with the results. This sparked a passion in helping others accomplish better movement even after old injuries. Monica enjoys working with the fascial system to help people achieve goals of improved posture, increased mobility, decreased pain, better digestion and stress reduction. Modalities include massage therapy, intra-oral massage, Tensegrity Medicine, Bowenwork and massage cupping.
