What is Bowen? The Bowen
Technique is a holistic, soft tissue ‘hands on – hands off’ therapy that works
well with the more traditional methods of treatment. The Bowen Technique
affects the body primarily through the nervous and the bio-energetic systems, to bring it into a state of balance. How does it work? It works on the nervous system using gentle yet powerful moves over muscles, ligaments, tendons, and fascia; the impulses sent to the nervous system remind the body to regain normal movement and initiate the healing process. The moves bring about incredible results by penetrating to a deep cellular level, incorporating the body's unique ability to heal itself. After all the body, knows how it should 'be' and how it should 'feel'. A very important aspect of the treatment is the short gaps between the series of moves, when the practitioner will leave the room for a minute or two (the hands off element). This allows the body, and the brain, the time and space it needs to relax, assimilate, respond, and make its own adjustments. Change is not forced upon the body; it is the client’s own body, which responds to the new ‘messages’ they are receiving. Who can benefit? The therapy is so gentle that it can treat anyone from babies to the elderly: treatments can be done through light clothing or directly on the skin. The Bowen Technique may very well be one of the single, most important tools we have to facilitate healing of the whole body. What conditions can benefit? There is a wide range of conditions
both acute and chronic where Bowen Therapy has provided either
long-term rapid remission or a significant improvement in presenting
problem and and general well being. Conditions that can respond well

How many will I need? Three or four treatments spaced one week apart are all that is usually required. However, chronic conditions may need longer.
