Bowen Therapy - the gentle body therapy

Annemarie from Holistic Health Taranaki

Bingo!
So many health issues benefit from Bowen Therapy. Why?
Because Bowen Therapy directly works on your fascia, your connective tissue.

And your connective tissue (you guessed it) connects all your tissues;

Bingo!
So many health issues benefit from Bowen Therapy. Why?
Because Bowen Therapy directly works on your fascia, your connective tissue.

And your connective tissue (you guessed it) connects all your tissues;
👉it binds every cell in your body to its neighbour,
👉your nervous system communicates through your fascia,
👉your hormones too, and
👉your blood and lymph vessels also run through your fascia.

When your fascia is in good health, a lot of other body systems will also be able to function better.
If you have a "Bingo-moment" here, you might want to give Bowen a go.

WOW another Trust that I have just learnt about, who are offering an awesome service to our Taranaki community.
Who can access the service?

PASAT’s services are available to a wide range of individuals in Taranaki, including
Adults with Disabilities: providing advocacy and support to adults with physical, intellectual, and developmental disabilities, ensuring they have access to the services and resources they need
Elderly Individuals: elderly community members who may be at risk of abuse or neglect, helping them maintain their independence and dignity
Adults Experiencing Mental Health Challenges: assisting individuals facing mental health issues, providing advocacy and support to help them access appropriate care and services
Victims of Abuse and Neglect: working with individuals who have experienced abuse or neglect, offering support and advocacy to help them recover and rebuild their lives

PASAT provides a range of services designed to support and safeguard adults
Personal Advocacy: offering personalized advocacy services to help individuals navigate complex systems, such as healthcare, legal, and social services. Advocates work closely with clients to ensure their voices are heard and their rights are protected
Safeguarding Services: committed to protecting adults from abuse, neglect, and exploitation. They provide education and resources to help individuals recognize and report abuse, and they work with local authorities to ensure that appropriate measures are taken to safeguard vulnerable adults
Support for Decision-Making: assisting individuals in making informed decisions about their lives. This includes providing information, guidance, and support to help clients understand their options and make choices that are in their best interests
Community Outreach and Education: actively engaging with the community through outreach programs and educational workshops. These initiatives aim to raise awareness about the rights of vulnerable adults and promote a culture of respect and inclusion

PASAT is more than just a service provider; it’s a community of caring individuals committed to empowering and protecting vulnerable adults in Taranaki
Pasat offers this service on a short term – perhaps one off – if that is what is needed or more long term where the need for independence and neutrality are vital. This is a Fee-for-Service arrangement – however there is the possibility of help to access the funding if required

Do you think drivers should be required to take a quick driving theory test every 10 years?
