Developed in the 1950's by the late Tom Bowen in Geelong, Australia, The Bowen Technique is a gentle but dynamic body therapy that is therapeutic and very effective.

The technique is safe to use on anyone from newborns to the elderly, with any condition from sports injuries to chronic or organic complaints.
IS BOWEN?
What is Bowen?

The Bowen Technique consists of a series of very specific sequence of moves over precise points on the muscles. It is very gentle and usually leaves the patient with a feeling of both relaxation and well being. It uses neither oils nor any heavy manipulation. It is safe and effective for everyone from babes-in-arms to the professional athletes. It is non-invasive and utilises the body's own healing energy.

HOW DOES BOWEN WORK?

This was never explained by it's creator, but it seems to be related to un-blocking trapped energy. It increases the lymph drainage and the blood supply to specific areas so aiding detoxification. Perhaps most importantly it releases tension.

WHAT CONDITIONS CAN BOWEN HELP?

All conditions, but it seems particularly effective with :-
sports injuries
frozen shoulders
back pain and disorders
asthma and hay-fever
musculo-skeletal pain and imbalance

What does it involve?

The Bowen Therapeutic Technique involves a gentle yet dynamic system of muscle and connective tissue therapy that is revolutionizing health care treatment world-wide. Developed in Australia by Thomas A. Bowen (1903-1982), the goal of a Bowen treatment is to restore the body processes for self-healing. It uses a series of gently rolling connective tissue manipulative procedures, which realign the body, and balance and stimulate energy flows. This seems to affect the body's autonomic nervous system, creating homeostasis at the cellular level. A Bowen treatment resets the body to heal itself and is useful for everyone from newborn infants through the elderly; chronically ill and disabled people benefit as well. Producing a deep sense of relaxation and providing lasting relief from a wide variety of ailments and discomforts, it is a highly unique system that has impressed practitioners of all modalities.
