HORMONAL RELEASE THE BOWEN WAY WORKSHOP

By the use of specific ‘Hormonal Release’ techniques, this workshop targets common Urinary System and Reproductive System problems of males and females at all stages of life: childhood; adolescence; trying to conceive, pregnancy, post-partum; menopause/andropause; and senior years.

Hormonal Release – The Bowen Way is a two-day advanced workshop for certified, experienced Bowen Therapists. You will learn a series of additional bodywork procedures to be used in conjunction with basic Bowen Therapy procedures in an integrated session. Please note that these new nerve-stimulation procedures are not an alternative to medical treatment.

This workshop covers:

• The physiological adaptive range concept, and how stress, exhaustion, poor nutrition, emotion, accumulated injuries, and other factors affect it.

• Anatomy of the Endocrine, Reproduction and Urinary Systems.

• The impact of structural misalignment (including the pelvis, occiput and jaw) on the Endocrine System in general and the Pituitary gland in particular.

• The impact of muscle compression on nerves that supply the urinary and reproductive organs.

You will learn to locate key nerves and perform new bodywork moves in specific combinations to address:

• Period pain, endometriosis, PMS

• Infertility (male or female). It is estimated that one in six or seven North American couples have difficulty conceiving. You will learn how to support the client’s goal of either natural conception or IVF.

• Preparation for birth

• Post partum procedures for painful intercourse

• Menopause symptoms, low libido, vaginal dryness

• Enlarged prostate, low testosterone, firmer erections

• Bedwetting & incontinence

and more…
