The Bowen Technique
Gentle, effective, non-invasive therapy
Sort out old problems ~ Prevent new ones developing
The Bowen Technique is a gentle and focused form of ‘hands-on’ bodywork and people bring a wide variety of aches and pains, problems and complaints for Bowen treatment.
- no need for pain to achieve gain
The Bowen Technique addresses the same range of conditions that might be treated by a physiotherapist, chiropractor or osteopath. However, it is different from these therapies as there is no manipulation or adjustment of hard tissue and no force is used. It is not massage, nor does it require any equipment and the treatment is given through light clothing.
- sensible and effective
Bowen is firmly rooted in human anatomy and physiology and the light touch of the Bowen treatment procedures target specific muscle groups, connective tissue, nerve pathways, blood and lymph circulation and energy points.
The Bowen Technique was developed in the 1950’s by Tom Bowen, an innovative and gifted therapist in Geelong, Australia. His reputation for successful treatments brought literally thousands of people to his clinic every year through word of mouth. Bowen himself died in 1982 but his therapy is now well known and well-established in Australia and many other countries. (see: www.thebowentechnique.com/content/tombowen.htm )
