The Bowen therapy , named after an Aussie bloke Thomas Ambrose Bowen , a self-taught osteopath who invented a special non-invasive bodywork technique, involves stretching the fascia which is the soft tissue that covers all your muscles and organs in order to provide pain relief.
According to its proponents the technique is also proficient when it comes to healing numerous other kinds of ailments: Head- and tootchaches, back pain, sports injuries, apparently it even helps against bedwetting. The therapy itself is a very soft form of massage, using very gentle, yet exact rolling movements of the fingers.
The applied pressure is as soft as when touching an eyeball without hurting it. At West Ham, in the game against Wolves yesterday evening, the Bowen therapy involved Englishman Jarrod Bowen making precise and lethal runs into the box, being highly invasive by scoring twice, providing a painful headache for the opposition all game long, gently helping West Ham to a wonderful drubbing of one of the better teams in the Premier League, relieving our club of the stinging pain of having no points on the board so far this season.
Bowen was very much working a treat against Wolves, so has to be considered as being a welcome remedy, not a mere placebo for the Hammers on the night. If you do get your first league win of the season against all the odds, you might as well do it in style! Winning against a side like Wolverhampton is only possible with a complete team performance and it very much was one of those. I have to hold my hands up and say: When I saw our lineup before the game I was slightly perturbed, feeling that Moyes must be suffering rather severe symptoms of Covid adversely affecting his tactical thinking.
But what do I know…;-. Moyes had the formation and the application levels of the eleven starters spot on — Wolves looked very ordinary, almost shell-shocked at what we threw at them for 95 minutes. Our first crucial goal came courtesy of something very un-West Ham-like: Awareness of a game situation and exploiting it as quick as a rat might escape up a drainpipe. With a freekick given to West Ham at the halfway line after a rugby tackle against Antonio, the brilliant Pablo Fornals saw Bowen sprint into action and immediately played a neat ball into his path out on the right while the Wolves players were still trying to have a chinwag with the ref about something.
