Muscular Dystrophy is caused by changes (or rather mutations) in the genes that are responsible for the structure and functioning of muscles. This mutation then leads to the muscle fibres changing and interfering with the muscles abilities to function properly.
There are over thirty types of Muscular Dystrophy, and with over 70,000 children and adults in the
Depending on what type of Muscular Dystrophy the person has, symptoms of this disease will vary from person to person.
Typical symptoms of the most common types of Muscular Dystrophy are: fatigue; muscle weakness and joint stiffness. In addition, those who are suffering from this condition may also have trouble with breathing and sleeping.
The Bowen Treatment is a drug free, complementary therapy and a gentle approach that can help certain symptoms of Muscular Dystrophy.
Rather than
'making' the body change, Bowen 'asks' the body to recognise the ailment 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 initiate the healing process.
If you suffer from Muscular
Dystrophy, or know somebody that does, see if Bowen could help you. Find a
qualified Bowen practitioner near to you by visiting the Bowen website or calling 0844 561 7173.
