The Bowen Technique

The Bowen Technique is a remedial, hands-on therapy that is applied using very gentle pressure. The practitioner uses thumbs and fingers on precise points of the body to perform Bowen’s unique sets of rolling-type moves which stimulate the muscles and soft tissue of the body.  There is no manipulation or adjustment of hard tissue and no force is used.  The experience of a treatment is gentle,subtle and relaxing.  Because of this, Bowen can be considered for clients for whom other forms of therapy might be too aggressive, forceful or invasive.  The tiniest of babies through to the frailest of adults have been treated with Bowen.  It is believed that the Bowen Technique prompts the body to reset, repair and balance itself and clients report the experience of pain relief, improvement of function and recovery of energy.

One of the most common complaints for which people seek Bowen treatment is back pain. The average number of treatments people have is three to four. Painful and restricted shoulders are also a particular favourite as are neck pain, respiratory conditions and headache patterns.  Bowen is being widely used for sports injuries as well, not only do sportsmen report fewer injuries when treated regularly but they also notice enhanced performance.
