Jenny Jenkins
Bowen Therapist
Certificate IV Bowen Therapy, Full Member of the Bowen Assoc Australia, Full Member of Bowtech, the Bowen Therapy Academy of Australia.
Jenny was so impressed with her very first Bowen treatment and amazed at the effectiveness of the treatment, she commenced training to become a Bowen therapist and has never looked back. Her passion is helping others.
Bowen Therapy is a soft tissue therapy, restoring balance via the autonomic nervous system. It is a dynamic holistic treatment that treats the whole person, aims to treat the cause of problems rather than the symptom. It uses the body’s innate healing ability to deliver signals to the nervous system to specific locations and the body does the rest to start the healing process. The Bowen technique was created by the late Thomas Bowen from Geelong Australia in the 1950s.
Gentle moves are performed over your connective tissue, muscles and tendons to help the body to relax, repair and reset itself. It is a gentle form of therapy suitable for all age groups from newborn babies through to the elderly. It takes your body out of the ‘fight or flight response’ and into your ‘rest, relax and digest response’ state.
During a Bowen treatment, Jenny helps with a range of health issues, both acute and chronic, from relieving pain including:
Back and sciatic pain, neck and shoulder pain, hip, knee and ankle injuries, headache and migraines, digestive and bowel problems, menstrual and hormonal irregularities, RSI and carpal tunnel syndrome and tennis elbow.
It is also useful for respiratory conditions like asthma and gastrointestinal disorders like irritable bowel syndrome. Bowen also helps with stress, fatigue, depression, anxiety, high blood pressure and flexibility.
Jenny treats patients at our Wavell Heights Clinic.
