How you can keep moving at any age – just like our Queen.

Are you ready to get together with your children or grandchildren to celebrate the jubilee?

Do you remember gathering around the TV with your parents and grandparents to watch the Queen’s coronation?

Sometimes it’s daunting to think about how much time has passed by, but making the most of who you are today is important.

Now, more than ever, we are maintaining high levels of physicality later on in life - like the Queen herself, who is respected for her active role.



 
With the Olympics taking place in London this summer, there is currently a big focus on the level of fitness of us Brits.


A study found that Britons aged 60-plus are much more likely to exercise than those in their 20s.


In fact, the 60-plus crowd are three times more likely to exercise every day compared to those that are twenty-something.


However, the aerobics or weights that might have once been a breeze can now seem more of a gale force.


Naturally, as we age our strength and stamina does too, which is why light movement is good for joints and muscles.


Bowen Therapy is a natural, drug-free, non-invasive, complementary therapy that can help joint and muscle movement.


Rather than 'making' the body change, Bowen 'asks' the body to recognise any problems and make the changes it requires.


During the 30-60 minute treatment, 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 begin healing itself.

The treatment helps maintain a healthy body and it’s anti-aging effects keep you feeling young inside and out.

This is because Bowen is an extremely relaxing experience and can aid any mental stress, allowing you to feel extremely refreshed.
