The Bowen Technique
The Bowen Technique is a gentle non-invasive hands-on muscle release therapy. It may relieve tension and reduce pain for a wide range of conditions. The technique may be used to address common stress-related and muscular-skeletal problems including back, neck & shoulder pain, RSI, whiplash and sports injuries. A sequence of moves over specific points on muscles and soft tissue can release tension in the connective tissues and encourage re-alignment of the body. Clients may benefit from a reduction of symptoms, an increase in energy and a sense of well-being. Bowen Therapy is suitable and safe for all ages, from new-borns to the elderly.

How does the Bowen Therapy work?Your Bowen practitioner uses a sequence of gentle rolling moves over precise locations on muscles and soft tissue to encourage the release of stress patterns and tension in your connective tissues. These stress patterns may be the result of old injuries or caused over time by incorrect posture. Once your brain has been alerted to these patterns through the Bowen moves, your body can start the process of re-alignment. Periods of rest of about 2 minutes between sequences of moves allow your brain to acknowledge the moves, make adjustments and initiate a healing process. Bowen Technique clients may benefit from a reduction of symptoms, an increase in energy and a sense of well-being. Bowen Therapy xis suitable and safe for all ages, from new-borns to the elderly. Bowen practitioners do not diagnose, prescribe or alter your medication, however you may be advised to consult your GP. How does the Bowen Therapy work?

There is no need to undress, provided you are wearing light weight clothes (such as tracksuit bottoms, please do not wear denim jeans). During the Bowen treatment you will be resting on the treatment couch and will be covered in towels and a blanket for comfort and warmth. However, if for whatever reason you are unable to lie down, your treatment can be adjusted to be given seated.
