The BTPA (Bowen Therapy Professional Association) is joining forces with the Central London RSI Support Group on Tuesday 28th February 2012, one day ahead of International RSI day.
The meeting being held between 6.30-8.30pm, at Lucas Arms, Upstairs Function Room, 245a Gray's Inn Road, London. WC1X 8DP is part of the Central London RSI Support Group’s regular monthly meetings, which are free to attend and open to all. The difference with this month’s meeting is that Claire Harrison, Chairwoman of the BTPA will be attending in order to talk about Bowen Therapy, the benefits it can have for people who suffer from RSI (repetitive strain injury) and a clinical trial that the BTPA is currently undergoing with regards to RSI.
Repetitive Strain Injuries (RSIs) remain not only the most common type of disabling injury in our worksites, it is on the rise, as our workloads are pushed beyond manageable or achievable levels. Thousands of people already have the aches, pains, tingling, swelling and loss of joint movement and strength that left untreated can develop into full blown RSI injuries.
The Bowen Technique is a natural, drug-free non-invasive complementary therapy that prides itself on being able to trigger the body’s own healing systems. Rather than 'making' the body change, Bowen 'asks' the body to recognise and make the changes it requires. With 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. Between each set of moves, the body is allowed to rest for a few minutes, to allow it to absorb the information it has received and initiate the healing process.
Claire Harrison from the BTPA, will be available from 6.30pm-7.30pm to answer any questions about the Bowen technique and demonstrate how Bowen therapy works.
