The Bowen technique bridges that part of the science of healing that has not yet been understood. The part that deals with coordination of the brain and body.

During the 45 min. to 1 hr treatment, the practitioner performs gentle moves over precise points of the body.  Bowen is not deep tissue, or manipulations and forceful. The Bowen moves work much like a gentle signal to Golgi tendons; areas of tendon, nerve, and muscle junctions.

After an injury, the area around the injury become tense to protect it from further injury. But when the tension lasts into chronic muscle guarding you get chronic pain.  All types of trauma and pain, physical or emotional guarding, respond to the technique.

The beauty of the technique is that lead to positive changes that are sustainable in as little as 6 treatments.  Post-concussion pain, low back pain, neck pain, respiratory conditions, ADHD, anxiety, and migraines are among the most responsive to Bowen treatments.

One of the most exciting developments in contemporary neuroscience is the recognition that the human brain processes information via different brain circuits or loops. The collection of circuits working together is called a brain network.  Using qEEG (quantitative encephalogram) and LoRETA (Low-Resolution Electromagnetic Tomography) —software approved for academic research, we get an unprecedented 3D look into the brain. 

QEEG brain mapping enables us to see the unique pattern of mental strengths and weaknesses. We are able areas of the brain with too little or too much activity and those coordinating their activity with each other. The accuracy of a qEEG in identifying areas of brain activity is comparable to a functional MRI.

During a typical qEEG session, the client wears a cap that resembles a swimmer’s cap. The cap has electrodes that pick up brain waves and send them into an amplifier that measures the amplitude (power of the brain-wave activity), the coherence (quality of the synchronized communication), and the phase (the speed of communication) between and among regions of the brain.

After we generate a qEEG map,  with LoRETA imaging, we are able to train deep brain areas; entire networks (brain highways), coherence (connectivity), processing speed (phase) and more; all crucial factors in optimal brain functioning.

For example, if you have a specific difficulty with foggy brain and difficulty focusing on a task after a concussion, a qEEG can map the brain areas involved in attention and executive functioning and see which brain regions are functioning outside the norm. With 3D LORETA neurofeedback training, we can then train the brain to achieve remarkable improvements in the affected networks and thus the symptoms.

Dr. Mushtagh is participating this year at TEDx Vancouver sharing his experience in Concussion care.  QEEG combined with neurofeedback training augments brain activity for remarkable improvements.
