THE BOWEN TECHNIQUE

What is the Bowen Technique?
A gentle remedial therapy which stimulates the body to rebalance itself and promotes healing, pain relief and relieves tension.

It originated in Australia in the 1950s, developed by a man called Tom Bowen.  He was so successful that by 1974 he was treating 13,000 clients a year with an 80-90% success rate;  recorded by a government investigation into complementary therapies.

Since the 1970s it has spread to over 30 countries worldwide and is used by nurses, doctors and physical therapists.

It is the fastest-growing complementary therapy in the UK today.


Benefits of using the Bowen Technique

A wide range of complaints can be addressed.  It is suitable for all ages from new-born babies to the elderly.

Response is generally quick making this a cost and time effective treatment.

Alleviates targeted conditions and can also address old injuries or symptoms at the same time (a client might be treated for tennis elbow and in addition her PMT symptoms will subside).

Bowen Therapy promotes circulation encouraging release of toxins and boosts the immune system. 

There are no contraindications and it can be used in cases of chronic and acute ill health.

It is beneficial and safe throughout pregnancy.

Increases energy levels and gives an unmistakeable sense of wellbeing and balance.

Bowen can assist any skeletal or muscular complaint:  in fact, anything you visit an osteopath or chirpractor for, can be helped by Bowen.

What does the treatment involve?

. Relaxing and gentle.
. Therapist makes gentle rolling movements over specific muscles, tendons and ligaments.
. No hard-tissue manipulation or force is used.
. During treatment there are periods when the client is left resting for a few moments, allowing
  the work to take effect.
. A gap of 7-10 days should be allowed between treatments.  Subtle information supplied to 
  the body during treatment can then be processed.
. Treatments usually take about 45 minutes.
