Default Bowen technique for PCS?
Hello Friends,

I want to know if there are folks who tried Bowen technique for PCS and their experience. Which symptoms did it resolved for you? I am hoping to get treated for Dizziness/ lightheadedness, headaches and fatigue.

Thanks and Regards,
Pinka

Bowen is more oriented toward muscular issues. I wonder what impact it could have on the PCS symptoms you mention. It has no standard protocol since Bowen never documented his technique. I would think there would be a difference between practitioners. I would categorize it as a therapy that needs to be considered a financial risk. If one has the money to try it without causing a financial hardship, it may be a worthwhile risk.

Here is a thread where Bowen technique was discussed years ago.

Thank you Mark. It seems only couple of them tried Bowen Therapy on our forum.

I will contact local practitioner and will get more information about sessions.

Found interesting link for Bowen's technique for PCS.

The claims of Bowen Therapy for PCS/mTBI are outrageous. There may be a benefit but the results claimed cause me great concern. If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is. As I said, I don't doubt that some were helped. If the success rate was as quoted, the VA would be jumping all over Bowen Therapy for injured vets.

It is still worth a cautious try. It may help with some concussion issues.

If you read the links, there is an explanation. In a nutshell. Bowen Therapy is a form of tissue work similar to myofacial release or other release protocols. It is an advanced form of massage with pressure point like manipulations.
