Although Cupping Therapy is a traditional practice across Asia, Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and Latin America, its ultimate efficacy is a highly debated topic. Regardless, anecdotal evidence seems to imply that it works very well when offered by our skilled therapists at Massage Land.

Bowen is a holistic remedial body technique that works on the mechanoreceptors and soft connective tissue (fascia) of the body. Bowen therapy can be used to treat musculoskeletal or related neurological problems including acute sports injuries and chronic or organic conditions.

Bowen therapy is performed on the superficial and deep fascia. The fascia, or soft tissue, is the part of the connective tissue that envelops, separates and influences every organ and tissue in the body. The gentle moves are performed in precise locations to gain maximal influence of the receptors of the nervous system with minimal inputs.
The Bowen technique is safe to use on anyone, from newborns to the elderly, and for any musculoskeletal or related neuromuscular complaint. It is a holistic treatment that treats the whole person and aims to treat the cause of problems, rather than the symptoms.
