The Bowen Technique

What is the Bowen Technique?
Bowen is a dynamic series of gentle and relaxing moves over muscles and tendons along the whole body using thumb and fingers. Bowen empowers the body's own healing resources to achieve balance and harmony and results in fast and lasting relief from pain and discomfort.

Safe to use on anyone, from the newborn to the elderly and inform, and for a wide range of conditions from back and neck pain, sciatica, sports injuries to organic complaints, this innovative and gentle technique frequently gives substantial relief after the first session.

The treatment consists of small cross-fibre moves at specific locations over muscles, tendons and ligaments on the body which are gentle and relaxing.

The Bowen Technique balances and stimulates energy flows which triggers the body's own self healing process.

How can the Bowen Technique help?
Our everyday lives subject our bodies to many harmful situations. Our bodies are finely tuneed structures and it takes very little to upset this balance. Often it is not until something goes wrong and this balance is upset that we realise and appreciate how much we rely on good health for our bodies to function normally.

Bowen enables the body to re-balance and restore. It produces an integrated body response and consequently improves circulation, lymphatic and venous drainage, the assimilation of nutrients and the elimination of toxins, joint mobility and posture. There are many conditions that can be addressed.

Conditions that have responded favourably include:
