Bowen Therapy



What is The Bowen Technique?



Bowen affects the body in gentle ways which promote healing and the relief of pain. The treatment itself is gentle, subtle and relaxing and it is this that makes The Bowen Technique so unique. Many osteopaths, chiropractors, sports therapists and physiotherapists are now beginning to use The Bowen Technique and all who practice it are continually amazed at the effectiveness of this simple and gentle form of hands on therapy.







Whats Involved in a Bowen Treatment?



A Bowen Technique treatment will take around 45 minutes and most of the work can be performed through light clothing. Two or three treatments weekly are often sufficient to achieve lasting relief from even long standing pain, although further treatments may sometimes be required.

The practitioner uses thumbs and fingers on set points on the body to make rolling type moves which aim to disturb the muscles, soft tissue and energy within the body. During the session there are periods in which the client is left resting, this gives the body time to make the subtle and fine adjustments which help to relieve tension, reduce pain and initiate the healing process.

To receive maximum benefit it is recommended that other physical therapies are not mixed with the Bowen Technique.








Who Can Benefit From A Bowen Treatement?



Common presenting problems include back and neck pain, knee problems, sports injuries, RSI, frozen shoulder, tennis elbow and respiratory conditions. Conditions such as chronic fatigue, hay fever, headache, kidney problems, and problems requiring lymphatic drainage have responded favourably to The Bowen Technique.

The Bowen Technique also addresses many other conditions. It is generally regarded as safe and effective for people of all ages.
