Join Chris Reed as he presents a Bowen workshop exploring

Pelvic and Lower Back Pain

19th of August 9:00am -4:30pm

following the BTFA Conference

Hahndorf, SA

"Pelvic-related issues are one of the most common presentations at many Bowen clinics.

Research tells us that almost 25% of women over the age of 50 are known to have pelvic-related pain, and these clients tend to be a large proportion of our Bowen demographic."

Chris Reed

THIS WORKSHOP IS OPEN

TO ALL BOWEN PRACTITIONERS

Chris will deconstruct some of the most common issues your clients present with for these important and complex regions of the body and give you strategies to follow, further increasing your confidence and the effectiveness of your treatments.

In this workshop we will explore:

Pain Science
Relevant anatomy
Targeted Assessments
Common pathologies of the pelvis, lower back and related regions above and below
Relevant Bowen procedures for all levels of training
Rehabilitation and the best “send home advice” for different presentations

By the end of this workshop you will walk away with:

An opportunity to fine tune your palpation skills
More confidence in establishing clearer clinical impressions from identified differentials
Educational opportunities for your clients to help them improve their outcomes
Algorithms for assessment, treatment and rehabilitation
Knowledge of contemporary evidence for pelvic and low back regional pain syndromes
Fine tuning your relevant Bowen therapy procedures

Many of our clients present with pelvic, lateral hip, and related lumbar or leg pain. This workshop and the accompanying workbook provide up to date information the Bowen therapist can use to assist in determining a more accurate clinical impression through knowledge of common differentials and validated clinical tests. This then allows the Bowen therapist to proceed with the most effective treatment within the Bowen therapy framework.

What to expect:

Workshop Manual

The manual with photos and anatomical illustrations is designed for your future reference of the material covered in the workshop
All Relevant Bowen Procedures

All relevant procedures will be discussed and practised.
