Pain Relief Therapy in Kuala Lumpur

Growing numbers of Physiotherapists and Physicaltehrapists worldwide are including Bowen Therapy into their toolbox of skills and are being blown away by the results.  When choosing a soft tissue specialist to work with, your primary concern should be their knowledge of anatomy, their understanding of the musculoskeletal system, and fine-tuned palpation skills instead of which machines they use. Our award-winning team of Physiotherapists at My Bowen Therapy understands this, and use their fine-tuned palpation skills, along with a full-body assessment in every session, to understand your condition and get to the root cause of the issue. Most are shocked to find out the source of your pain is not where they thought it was.

Originating from Australia, Bowen Therapy is the new kid on the block,' with training beginning in the late 1980s after Tom Bowen's (the creator of the technique) death. Fast forward to today, and The Bowen Technique is hailed as the most exciting modality in the world. There is a common misconception that our skeleton influences our alignment, and the only way to straighten the misalignment is by addressing the structural issues. However, this is not correct.

Imagine your skeleton like a suspension bridge, say Penang bridge structure, and your muscles and soft tissue the suspension ropes. Everything is in harmony as long as the suspension ropes are in perfect tension with each other. If one or more of these ropes (your muscles and soft tissue) were to be tightened, then the structure (your skeleton) would be affected.  This results in uneven wear and tear, aches, pains, and even non-muscular symptom-related health conditions elsewhere in the body, not only in the location of heightened tension.

A Bowen Therapist aims to find any problematic tissue, encourage it to go back to its original state by using a very gentle stimulus, and pauses to allow time to observe if the tissue was tight or tightened (pulled) from an area of tension elsewhere. A very targeted 'Less is Best' approach is used for the same reason you don't keep banging on your computer keys when it's crashing. These problematic areas are mostly found to be further away from the symptom. For example, many suffer from back pain and even plantar fasciitis (pains on the soles of feet) due to teeth grinding in their sleep. Prolonged grinding (pulling on the suspension ropes) affects how their jaw bone lies (the structure). With all this in mind, do not be surprised when you visit us with, for example, knee problems when your therapist becomes very interested in your back or neck.
