Bowen
Technique

 

A gentle treatment for a wide range of conditions.

 

A Bowen Technique treatment affects the body in ways which

promote healing, pain relief and recovery of energy. The experience

of the treatment is gentle, subtle and relaxing and it is these

features which make The Bowen Technique so unique.

What does a treatment involve?

A Bowen Technique treatment will take approximately 45 minutes

and most of the work can be performed through light clothing. Two

or three treatments, at weekly intervals, are often sufficient to

achieve lasting relief from even long standing pain, although

further treatments may sometimes be required. To receive

maximum benefit it is recommended that other physical therapies

are not mixed with the Bowen Technique, e.g. Massage,

reflexology, physiotherapy etc.

How does it work?

The Practitioner uses thumb and fingers on precise points on the

body to make rolling type moves which aim to disturb the muscles,

soft tissue and energy within the body.

 

During the treatment there are periods in which the client is left

resting to allow the body to absorb the gentle moves that have

been performed. This gives the body time to make the subtle

and fine adjustments which help to relieve tension, reduce

pain and initiate the healing process.


The Bowen Technique encourages the body to realign itself;

there is no manipulation or adjustment of hard tissue and no force

is used or needed. The Bowen Technique is not a form of massage.

What can it safely treat?


Common presenting problems include back and neck pain, knee

problems, sports injuries, RSI, frozen shoulder, tennis elbow,

headaches, chronic fatigue, kidney problems, sciatica, arthritis,

stress, colic in babies and respiratory conditions. Conditions such

as these have responded favourably to the Bowen Technique. Some

people use The Bowen Technique as a form of stress management

and health maintenance, seeing their therapist 2 - 4 times a year.
The Bowen Technique also addresses many other conditions, it is

generally regarded as safe and effective for people of all ages.
