Bowen Therapy for People Living with Cancer
Bowen therapy can improve the quality of life for people living with cancer, with consideration for their special needs and vulnerabilities. The Galway Bowen Therapy Clinic can help clients’ experiences be less isolating through their treatments, apply gentle procedures to support recovery, and create deep, healing connections to give clients a sense of pleasure, hope and being “whole” again. Bowen therapy is a holistic technique that facilities the body’s innate ability to heal itself. Compassionate touch is essential for humans to thrive emotionally, physically and mentally, especially during illness and times of distress. Evidence proves Bowen therapy reduces pain, tension, nausea, anxiety and physical discomfort, and improves self-esteem, a sense of wellbeing and calm. Bowen therapy’s efficacy in optimising health and wellbeing make it a compelling treatment for helping people living with cancer.
Bowen therapy, is recommended by the Cancer Council of New South Wales (Australia) for people with cancer as: “a gentle style of touch (that) may help promote relaxation and reduce pain. Through gentle touching and the movement of soft tissue and muscles, the body feels deeply relaxed.” (The Cancer Council of NSW (CCNSW), 2014).
Quality of Life
Bowen therapy does not claim to cure cancer. However, it is an effective treatment for both pain relief and mental relief, and as such is a great therapy for those recently diagnosed with cancer, those who are currently undergoing treatment and those who are in remission. Amongst all the great testimonials we have received from our clients living with cancer, it is with great pride we can report that one of our clients suffering from Multiple Myeloma and severe bone lesions in both her legs stated that her pain vanished and that the treatment has given her back a quality of life.
Extensive Experience
Through our association with both a local Cancer Care Centre and private clients, we have extensive experience of working with people living with cancer and have achieved remarkable results from our therapy. We operate with confidentiality and compassion. All of our cancer clients can't stop talking about Bowen therapy. Along with diminished/reduced pain they have reported that they enjoy the treatments, they find them very relaxing but above all they have benefited greatly from the awful side effects of both the disease and treatment including:
- Relief from pain and body aches
- Reversal of hand and feet nerve damage (neuralgia, numbness and tingling)
- Relief from stress, anxiety and depression
- Relief from fatigue and sleeplessness
- Reduced swelling and noticeable relief from symptoms of lymphedema
- Relief from nausea and bowel discomfort (diarrhoea and constipation)
- Relief from itching
- Increase in energy
If you or someone you know has been diagnosed with cancer, please contact us and let us give you/them back a quality of life.
