Bowen Technique

The Bowen Technique originated from Australia by Tom Bowen who treated thousands of people, many who travelled hundreds of miles for treatment.

The Bowen Technique is unlike any other forms of hands on therapy. It is not a massage and there is no manipulation or force used. The treatment is gentle, subtle and relaxing. It is a powerful, non-invasive and drug free remedial therapy that uses a light rolling type move across the skin, fascia, muscle, tendon and other soft connective tissue.

These moves stimulate nerve pathways encouraging a conversation to take place between different nervous systems of the body. The key feature of The Bowen Technique are the breaks. The therapist will leave the room after performing a few precise moves for between 2 and 5 minutes.

The breaks provide the nervous system with the space and the opportunity to potentially make a decision about how to respond appropriately. Given the right conditions our bodies have the ability to adjust, adapt and heal themselves.

The Bowen Technique prompts the body to reset, realign, repair and rebalance. Many people try The Bowen Technique as a last resort after trying lots of other therapies that have had little or no benefit and are amazed with the results they get from The Bowen Technique

The Bowen Technique can be done through light clothing or preferably on the skin. If a person is unable to lie down then it can be performed while sitting or standing. The treatment is precise and targeted to the individual and works on the principle of less is more so not to overload the body’s communication centre, which could result in the body not responding.

Three to four treatments, five to ten days apart are often sufficient to achieve lasting results from even long standing pain. Acute conditions can respond immediately, chronic conditions may take longer.
