Bowen Practitioner courses - pelvic

Body Regions – Pelvic and Lower Body Protocols

In this workshop we will cover protocols and procedures focusing attention on the lower half of the body.

Read more

That’s not to say the discussion will not take us further afield as we look at how working on the lower body will affect the entire system of the human form, but predominantly the work will be focussed on refining our hands on approach to work specific lower body areas.

 

In particular we will be looking at specific Bowen moves around the pelvis, coccyx and sacral area as well as hamstrings, quadriceps and lower body joints and their function. Foundation moves and protocols will be revised with the aim being that you will leave the workshop being better able to assess your client with confidence and perform Bowen work that you have a greater knowledge of.

Bowen Practitioner courses - TMJ

Body Regions – TMJ, Shoulder and Upper Body Protocols

In this workshop we will cover protocols and procedures focusing attention on the upper half of the body.

Read more

This is an exciting workshop giving plenty of time for revision but exploration of how combining and perhaps reducing the number of moves made from different protocols can bring about a greater affect. We will look at how working particular areas of the upper body will affect the entire system of the human form and also the implications of this.

 

In particular we will be looking at specific Bowen moves around the TMJ, Shoulder and thoracic area to include diaphragmatic work. This is an essential module for practitioners who have not attended anything similar before progressing to the module: TMJ, Sleep and Breathing.

Bowen Practitioner courses - Cranio

Cranio Bowen

Craniosacral Therapy is a subtle and profound healing form, working with the rhythmic tidal motions of cranio sacral fluid within the body.

Bowen Practitioner courses - horse and rider 1

Horse and Rider – Part 1

This is a unique CPD opportunity to learn how to treat both the rider and the horse both classically and dynamically.

Read more

Lotty Merry and Jihan Adem combine their years of practice, study and teaching skills to take you step by step through two full and fun days of learning. They use practical assessment techniques, palpation, and visual demonstrations of both static and real time movement including gait analysis whilst working with fascial lines of continuity to cover a variety of commonly presenting issues when rider and horse both perform together. We are able to use the full yard facilities at Rose Farm so can utilise classroom based learning as well as observing both horse and rider independently and working as a unit in the arena. One day is spent assessing and treating riders where new Bowen material is covered specifically tailored to working with people who ride. We then move onto treating horses, specialising treatment to each horse depending on the work that they carry out each day. The workshop concludes by observing horse and rider combined to work as one.

This course is open to practitioners who are qualified both in Human and Equine Bowen.

Bowen Practitioner courses - horse and rider

Horse and Rider – Part 2

As a continuum from the first Part in this series, Part 2 builds upon the work you will have learnt and then leads you on from there…

Read more

Part 2 in this series introduces the practitioner to further knowledge in this field, deepening your understanding of how both horse and rider use their bodies and takes you through two days of further studying facial lines of continuity and patterns of holding and presenting symptoms specific to this sport. As with the Part 1 course, we utilise the fantastic facilities we have at Rose Farm. There is time enough for treating both the humans involved and the various horses at the yard to put into action what we learn in the classroom. Classroom, treatment room, treatments for the equine participants and then observation time of both moving in the arena make for a further packed two days of learning. Similarly to Part 1, this course is open to practitioners who are qualified both in Human and Equine Bowen.

Bowen Practitioner courses - pregnancy and birth

Pregnancy and Birth

This workshop will guide you through what you can do as a therapist to assist your client through this important time.

Read more

Taking into account the huge amount of change that occurs within the human form during this period of growth, utilising Bowen to make this journey as comfortable and joyful as possible is a fantastic benefit of our profession. So many other hands on modalities carry contra-indications to treatment during pregnancy, with care, Bowen protocols and moves can be used safely and effectively.

This two day workshop will look at the importance of regular treatment where possible to create the most comfortable body for the mother paying attention to the basic principle of how ‘structure governs function’ to create the best environment for the birthing process.

The compressive forces that occur naturally and are experienced during birth as the baby passes through the passage through the pelvis and the journey through the birth canal can cause imbalance in a baby’s system; even in natural and apparently problem-free births. Common new-born’s symptoms like colic, breastfeeding problems and respiratory issues may be due to compression arising from birth trauma. These can develop into problems later in life and can often be traced back to what happened at birth.

The focus of this workshop will be on preparing the body for birth paying attention in particular to the cranium, diaphragm and pelvic function. Alleviating common symptoms during pregnancy will also be a point for discussion.

We will look at influencing language, the importance of a good frame of mind and how limiting beliefs stored at a below conscious level can impact the birthing process as much as misalignment of the physical body can and how to work with this too.

Bowen Practitioner courses - TMJ Dental

TMJ, Sleep and Breathing (The Dental Module)

This workshop will focus on the temporomandibular joint and its impact on a range of health conditions.

Read more

Our mouth is arguably one of the most important regions of the body . We eat and drink, breathe and swallow, talk and communicate through it . Without it survival is minimal at best. It is one of our major site of sensory organs and yet the temporomandibular joint is both one of the most complex in the body and also one of the most neglected in both medicine and body work.

 

Andrew Zaranko and Jihan Adem have teamed up after nearly a decade of working in clinic together to present this information to you.

Our two day workshop will give a different perspective to this anatomical masterpiece. We will review the mouth from the physical external presentation of the face to the internal presentation of teeth and their positioning. We will look at the complexity of the tongue and its many functions, both mental and physical and the interaction of all oral tissues with the subtlety of the TMJ. We hope to inspire a new exciting view on both the seen and unseen impact throughout the body. We will venture onto a whirlwind tour through some of the most specialised anatomical tissues but present an exciting view of fascia and biotensegrity with an introduction on breathing and sleep related issues in an approach that is both refreshingly different but will be instantly useable with your first client after the course.

Bowen Practitioner courses - palliative care

Palliative Care – Bowen in Essence

This is quite often the time when Bowen comes into its own.

Read more

This workshop is for qualified Bowen therapists who would like to look at how to work with people that perhaps won’t be striding into our treatment rooms regularly. This time of life brings many challenges but also many opportunities for giving clients a greater sense of well being. We will look at how to work appropriately in specific areas, staying close to the guidelines that make a Bowen treatment recognisable.. the move, the pauses and where possible, the medial moves made in the deepest part of the lumber curve.

 

 

We will move through ways of working with clients that do not have what could be considered ‘normal range of movements’ and also how to work with clients who are immobile. The workshop will cover guidelines on how much work to perform in different circumstances as well as using specific moves from different procedures to create a bespoke treatment for the individual.
