What is Bowen Therapy?

Mr. Bowen came up with a therapy that addresses the body very gently. Instead of manipulation of bones he would gently manipulate muscles, tendons and facia – facia is the stuff around muscles, nerves, tendons and ligaments. And he would apply very gentle pressure on the structures. And it would also involve leaving the client alone on the table. So doing a few moves and then leaving the client and coming back in a few minutes. Bowen practically addresses the facia which is primarily made up of collagen fibres which seems to be the network of the body. The body has an innate ability to heal itself and do what it need to given the right support. Bowen Therapy innates a healing response.

We are not working on the bones and most people think that if you want to correct posture that you have to adjust the bones. But the bones are held in place by the ligaments and muscles and that relationship is what holds everything in place. The Skelton doesn’t hold up by itself without all the little muscles. So we are affecting the relationship between how all the muscles, ligaments and tendons that hold the posture in place.

Bowen Therapy moves helps the muscles unwind, untwist, release and elongate. That’s one of the things that happen. These moves are made over the meridians points along the Meridian channels. These moves release chemicals electro currents from the meridian points. It also opens up the channels so the meridian’s can flow more freely. And in the elongation of the tissues it allows for the water to flow, the blood to flow and the lymph to flow more freely. So you are getting multiple effects. In addition, it releases endorphins from the meridians.

Endorphins is one of the mechanism by which the Immune system, central nervous system and endocrine system internet with each other. And last but not least, Bowen balances the nervous system. The Autonomic Involuntary System which is the sympatric and parasympatic system. Most people are in the flight and fight stage – sympatric overdrive and Bowen put them in the rest and relaxes stage or parasympatic stage. All of this is happening while the client is resting on the table.

Ilipo Laser Lipo Treatments

FDA, CSA and Health Canada Approved Smartlite Medical Technology The i-lipo™ & Ultra™ is the latest in Laser lipolysis offering Body Contouring & Inch Loss with no pain, no needles and no downtime. The most intelligent Alternative to liposuction. Non-Surgical systems using Laser Diode Technology for Fat Reduction, Body Shaping, Cellulite & Skin Tightening.

How The i-lipo™ Works

The i-lipo™ uses a low level of visible red laser light to stimulate the body’s natural processes that empty the stored fat contents inside fat cells.

The laser light gently absorbs into the individual fat cells in the treatment area, temporarily opening pores in the cell wall through which the cell contents can escape. This does not affect the neighboring structures such as skin, blood vessels and peripheral nerves. The contents of the cell are collected by the lymphatic system and transported to areas of the body where they can be metabolized into energy during exercise.

This metabolism of the contents permanently removes them from the body leaving smaller fat cells and giving you inch loss. Exercising directly after an i-lipo™ treatment is needed to help dispose of the fat more efficiently and ensure it is not reabsorbed. Adding an infrared sauna treatment after i-lipo™ and exercise will also accelerate the breakdown and removal of fat from the body.
