Jehangir Hospital has taken a significant step towards promoting holistic well-being with the introduction of its Jehangir Wellness Centre. In an age where sedentary lifestyles and the pursuit of instant gratification dominate, the need for a comprehensive approach to health is more pressing than ever. The Wellness Centre’s core philosophy revolves around the harmonious alignment of the body, mind, and soul, transcending conventional healthcare methods, by focusing on nurturing all aspects of an individual’s well-being.

At the heart of the centre’s offerings are preventive health checks and various alternative therapies such as Bach therapy, Reflexology, Acupuncture, Chakra Meditation, Yoga, and Bowen therapy. On October 9th, the centre hosted a special event featuring a lecture and a Bowen therapy experience conducted by Farida Irani, a Holistic Health Practitioner and Senior Bowen Instructor. Originally from Mumbai, and based in Sydney, Australia, Farida Irani has been sharing her expertise with people in India through voluntary services. Her team offers treatments in Mumbai, Delhi, and Pune, including work at a military hospital and NGOs, furthering their commitment to making a positive difference in people’s lives.

Bowen Therapy focuses on a remedial technique that targets the body’s connective tissue (fascia). It is designed to treat musculoskeletal and neurological conditions, using gentle, precise movements to stimulate the nervous system without forceful manipulation. Safe for people of all ages, from newborns to the elderly, it offers a holistic approach that addresses the root causes of health issues.

Several participants shared their experiences with Bowen therapy during the event. Arnavaz Damania, a prominent figure in women’s sports and founder of the Connecting NGO for suicide prevention, highlighted how the therapy helped alleviate her pain.

Jehangir Wellness Centre positions itself as a destination for those seeking a balanced, health-conscious lifestyle. By embracing holistic treatments and preventive health services, the centre is set to make a meaningful impact on the wellness landscape in Pune and beyond.
