Body Symmetry Cambridge – Clare Crouchman
My name is Clare Crouchman and I am a qualified and insured Bowen Technique practitioner at Body Symmetry – Bowen Technique Cambridge.
I have been a professional artist in Cambridge for 25 years and alongside this has always been a passion for holistic health, nutrition and fitness. During this time I have studied many different modalities including Thai massage, Shiatsu massage, Macrobiotic Healing, Bi-Aura Energy Healing, Reiki, Nutrition and Creative Arts Therapy.
Using a lot of heavy ceramic materials in my work had given me chronic back pain so after searching for relief I decided to give the Bowen Technique a try. After only three sessions the pain that I’d had for over two years completely vanished. What interested me was that I could feel a shift and a release in my body – I wanted to know more.
I began training as a Bowen Therapist in 2017, qualifying with the College of Bowen Studies. I have also fully qualified in Assessment Led Bowen which gives me tools to screen the body to find and release the primary area of tension. This gives a targeted approach to my treatments.
The Bowen Technique involves rolling moves over specific areas of the body in order to release held stress.
The Bowen ‘move’ activates sensory receptors within the body’s muscular skeletal system. It targets the tight muscles and their attachments to the skeletal system, releasing the tension of the muscles that cause misalignments of the spine. This allows for spinal realignment without forceful manipulations.
The Bowen Technique also works on the fascia of the body which is a liquid bio-matrix that covers the muscles, organs and nerves.
Bowen is effective because it stimulates change in all these systems simultaneously; it releases muscular tension, corrects skeletal misalignments and activates a fascial release.
The sessions are very relaxing and you will remain fully clothed throughout.
I perform some assessments which show me where the primary area of constriction is within the body. This can be anywhere and not necessarily where you are feeling the pain. I will then work through the body releasing these areas of tightness and so restoring alignment in the body.
It usually takes around three sessions for the body to fully respond but it depends upon the person and the problem they are presenting with.
The Bowen Technique frequently offers pain and emotional relief where other modalities have failed. Bowen Therapy is appropriate for newborn babies through to the elderly and infirm.
