“ A couple of Bowen treatments, water / chemical distribution operating as intended, structural integrity restored. Pain gone. New child. And given that homeostasis may be established, won't chemical imbalances initiating abnormal behavior be corrected? Research connected with brain damaged babies indicates that the immature brain is capable of transferring vital functions away from the damaged area, reconnecting neural pathways. When there is structural imbalance, the body’s nerve pathways and fluid distribution network must be impaired. Correcting that imbalance encourages homeostasis. A body able to operate to the best of its ability.” - Col Murray, In Search of Tom Bowen and the Therapy He Inspired...and Lots of Other Stuff

ISBT-Bowen Therapy helps to release foot pain, bunions, pain in the big toe or hallux, by releasing tension and pain on the toe joint, reducing inflammation around the joint as well as increasing the range of motion of the restricted toe movements.
In addition to regular ISBT-Bowen treatments, the following is recommended to be performed every evening for 3-5 weeks, to help reduction of Bunion discomfort / size.
- 20-minute Epsom Salts foot bath (2 tablespoons of Epsom Salts in 1 litre of hot water) every evening. This helps to break down the calcification of the bunion.
- After each evening foot bath, the patient would then apply "Bunion Cream". This helps reduce some inflammation or bruising around the joint.
