Treatment - Vertigo

What is Vertigo?

Vertigo is a sensation of spinning or dizziness that can occur due to a problem with the vestibular system, which is responsible for maintaining balance and spatial orientation. It can be caused by various factors, including inner ear disorders (such as benign paroxysmal positional vertigo or labyrinthitis), vestibular migraines, Meniere’s disease, head injuries, or certain medications.

Bowen therapy, also known as Bowen technique is a gentle and non-invasive form of bodywork that involves a series of precise rolling movements over muscles, tendons, and ligaments.

Treatment & solution

Relaxation and Stress Reduction
Bowen therapy aims to stimulate the body’s natural healing response and promote relaxation by targeting specific points on the body. By inducing a state of deep relaxation, Bowen therapy may help reduce stress and anxiety, which can exacerbate symptoms of vertigo.
Improved Blood Flow and Circulation
Bowen therapy techniques can help improve blood flow and circulation throughout the body, including the head and neck area. Improved circulation may help alleviate symptoms associated with certain types of vertigo by optimizing oxygen and nutrient delivery to the inner ear and vestibular system.
Balancing the Autonomic Nervous System
Bowen therapy is believed to have an effect on the autonomic nervous system, which regulates involuntary functions such as heart rate, digestion, and stress response. By promoting balance between the sympathetic and parasympathetic branches of the autonomic nervous system, Bowen therapy may help reduce symptoms of vertigo and promote overall well-being.
Stimulation of Reflex Points
Bowen therapy involves targeting specific points on the body known as “Bowen moves” or “Bowen holds.” These moves are thought to stimulate reflex points and trigger the body’s self-healing mechanisms. By targeting reflex points associated with the vestibular system and balance, Bowen therapy may help alleviate vertigo symptoms and improve overall balance and stability.
