Bowen and Parkinson's, in Living Now, Australia's Largest Holistic Magazine, June 2016
excerpt: "Bodywork is an important aspect of the recovery process. Many therapists see rigid muscles as a challenge to be tackled aggressively and ‘made to behave’. In my experience, this is counter-productive. Very gentle bodywork helps to ‘encourage’ muscles to resume more normal motion and flexibility. During 1999 and 2000, I conducted an informal trial of aqua hydration formulas and bodywork combinations. Therapies included craniosacral therapy, remedial massage, Feldenkrais, reflexology and Bowen therapy. Over a period of 18 months, I observed that those using Bowen therapy made better progress. Later research revealed that Bowen therapy, in fact, assists in the rehydration process by changing the viscosity of the fascia."
