Bowen Technique photo-shoot!

It was an exciting day in the Furore office yesterday, as a variety of willing models enjoyed a Bowen Technique therapy session whilst trying their best to strike a pose!

The shoot took place to show the public the wide range of people and ages Bowen Therapy is suitable for. Anyone can have the treatment including, men and women, children and the elderly, sporty types and pregnant women. 

For anyone who hasn't experienced The Bowen Technique, it is a natural, drug-free non-invasive complementary therapy which was invented in Australia and introduced to the UK in the 1990’s. It works differently to a conventional oil massage you may have received where pressure is used to aid recovery and injury. Instead Bowen ‘asks’ the body to recognise the problem and make the change itself. 

 Using primarily fingers and thumbs, the Bowen practitioner makes small, rolling movements over muscles, tendons, ligaments and soft tissue at precise points on the body, using only the amount of pressure appropriate for that individual. No hard-tissue manipulation or force is needed or used.

The treatment has some celebrity followers with Bear Grylls and Radio 2 Presenter Janey Lee Grace both raving about their Bowen experiences.

The models also appeared to have really enjoyed the variety of moves carried out by the practitioner, as you can tell by the photos! 

YourExchangeNetwork Event

BTPA attended the launch of YourExchangeNetwork.co.uk which was held at the Ramada Encore in Birmingham on Sunday 25th September.

The website is hailed as a one stop portal for everything menopause which was certainly apparent at the launch with stands alongside BTPA serving anything from speciality cupcakes to wine tasting courses and valet services.

<sup>We were invited to attend the launch after the organiser, and mind behind YourExchangeNetwork, Jacky Lawrence had been informed by a close friend just how beneficial The Bowen Technique had been in treating her menopause symptoms. This impressive testimonial led to us being offered a stand in the main room to promote Bowen and BTPA.

After a bit of a slow start initially – it was bucketing it down in Birmingham – the room soon filled up. The Bowen stand offered free mini treatments to show customers how it worked and gave some who already knew about the Bowern technique a great opportunity to refresh their knowledge or learn more about our amazing therapy. The taster sessions in the treatment room certainly were popular and everybody left feeling much improved and eager to try more Bowen.</sup>

A big thank you to Gustav Prinsloo, Susan Rook and Alex Haines who attended the event and made the BTPA stand a pleasure for all who came across it and also to Jacky Lawrence for inviting us to be a part of her wonderful afternoon.
