Near Infrared/Red LED Treatment
How does Near Infrared and Red LED help?
Near infrared and Red LED can assist to stimulate collagen production, increase blood circulation, and reduce inflammation, leading to improved skin texture and tone
Mitochondrial Function:
Red and NIR light can improve mitochondrial efficiency, leading to increased ATP production and overall improved cellular energy. Mitochondrial function enhances energy production and reduces oxidative stress.
Wound Healing:
Red and NIR light can accelerate wound healing by stimulating the formation of new blood vessels, which is crucial for wound healing and tissue repair, increasing collagen production, and reducing inflammation.
Skin Health:
Red light therapy can assist to stimulate collagen production creating the ability to improve skin elasticity, reduce wrinkles, improve facial texture, and address conditions like acne and rosacea.
Anti-inflammatory Effects and pain management:
Red and NIR light can reduce inflammation, which is a key factor in many diseases and conditions. These therapies may help reduce pain severity in conditions like osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia, and other musculoskeletal pain.

About Bowen
What is Bowen Therapy?
Bowen Therapy is a gentle treatment suitable for everyone. From newborn babies through to the elderly, Bowen therapy provides targeted treatments for a variety of problems including: neck, shoulder, lower back, coccyx, sciatica, knee, ankle and muscle imbalances.

Bowen moves are made over muscles, tendons and ligaments throughout the body. A fine layer of fascia runs throughout the body. When a Bowen move is made, short wait times are taken to allow the body time to absorb the move. The fascia transmits vibrations through the body making it a critical part of the process.
What is Fascia?
Fascia is a fine layer of connective tissue that runs throughout the body. It encases organs, muscles, tendons, ligaments and cells, allowing them to move freely beneath its sheath of fibres.
Maintaining healthy fascia is done by moving the body (exercise), hydration and managing stress and injury. If the fascia is restricted, so are the corresponding muscles, tendons and ligaments encompassed by it. This can have larger, far-reaching impacts and explains why an injury or imbalance in a lower limb can directly impact the neck or shoulders. Afterall, everything is connected!
The Vagus Nerve
The vagus nerve is responsible for sensory, motor and parasympathetic functions within the body. Stimulation of the parasympathetic system directly impacts, stress, anxiety, blood pressure, heart rate and digestion. The vagus nerve sends signals through the body to directly affect gut function, anti-inflammatory response and stimulates relaxation.
The vagus nerve is stimulated by specific Bowen moves, making it an important part of the healing process.
