The aim of this community is to provide a reliable, evidenced based understanding of the human body, as it relates to the practice of manual and movement therapies and to create a space where we can share our experiences with other therapists from from around the world.
If you're a Bowen therapist, Massage Therapist, Chiropractor, Osteopath, Rolfer, Physiotherapist/Physical Therapist or work with your hands to help people move or reduce pain in any way, then that's manual therapy. If you're a Bowen therapist in particular, then this space is going to change your life!
If you work in any way to enhance human movement, such as with Pilates, Yoga, Feldenkrais, Alexander Technique practitioner or any other, then this is the place to find the anatomy that fits in with what you do, rather than a system of learning parts of the body.
As the space grows, we will be able to create more spaces for each therapy, coming together regularly to share our experiences and insights and building a shared as well as a curated space for the study of joined up anatomy.
The project is the brainchild of Julian Baker BSc (Hons), who has been a Bowen Therapist for over three decades and has been leading hands on human dissection classes for manual and movement therapists for over eighteen years. He is passionate about his work and has dedicated his life to finding ways to understand the human body and helping others to fulfil their human potential.
A gifted communicator, he believes that the anatomy we learn as therapists, should be different than the system used in the medical field and is committed to sharing his extensive knowledge through his simple yet unique approach.
Why You Should Join
With so much social media in existence already, this space aims to create a single community for the deeper understanding of the things that we do as therapists, but which get dismissed or go unexplained. Internet spaces can be distracting, filled with advertising and video shorts and are designed to suck our time and catch our attention.
Here by comparison, you will find a relaxed but focussed space where we can consider the anatomy, literature, stories and insights of what we do as manual and movement therapists and seek to shed light on some of the mysteries of how and why things hang together and sometimes go wrong.
We will share our successes and cheer on our community and feel safe to ask questions or ask for help in solving problems, knowing that we are part of a truly global family.
A message from Julian Baker
During the global pandemic the therapeutic community faced enormous challenges and many struggled to keep going afterwards. I was only a couple of steps away from taking a job delivering groceries, but instead launched a series of low cost webinars (with no real idea what I was doing) as a way to stay in touch with the army of therapists out there.
I wanted to share my years of teaching Bowen, treating people, studying anatomy and understanding fascia and doing it opened a window on a global community that changed the way I was able to share information.
Since the pandemic, we have all understood the enormous opportunity that online learning represents. For me, this is the next logical step in bringing people together and sharing the information that I have been gathering over the last thirty years.
It's also really important for me to make this content affordable and inclusive and have set the membership costs as low as possible. Hopefully this will allow more people to gain access to a better understanding of the human form, how we can influence and help it and as a result, make the world around us a better place
It all depends however on you! I do hope you will take the step of joining me in this venture and I look forward to seeing you inside!
