Pioneered by Tom Bowen (1916-1982) in Australia in the 1950s/1960s. Mr Bowen developed certain procedures after years of experimentation and clinical trials. It's these procedures that are taught today as the Bowen Technique or 'Bowtech(R)'.

These are given to allow the body to respond and integrate.

Bowen can treat a wide variety of conditions including (but not limited to):

Anxiety and stress-related conditions

Back pain, sciatica and spinal problems

Digestive and bowel problems

Muscle and skeletal problems

Gynaecological conditions

Headaches and Migraines

Joint problems

Respiratory conditions

Sports and strain injuries (eg RSI, carpal tunnel)

First step is an Initial Session where a complete Personal History, Assessment and Treatment is provided. It is recommended that this is then followed up with three sessions 5-10 days apart. This gives both the client and the therapist an opportunity to address past and present conditions. Some chronic conditions may require ongoing, longer treatment.

5-10 days between each session is ideal. This gives the body a chance to integrate the moves and the client to discover and discern any changes or shifts.

I have often found that physical pain that is not shifting is often coming from emotional blockages. Yes, the physical pain is very real and it's driving force is coming from an emotion, habit, person or circumstance. Think about when you get "butterflies in your stomach" - this is a very real physical sensation and we all know it comes from nerves or anxiety. If Bowen Therapy (or any other therapy for that matter) is not working for you then I would look at what emotional situations are happening in your life and recommend taking you through a Coaching session or two (see "Coaching" for more info).

Please wear loose-fitting garments (no jeans, belts, slippery fabric, heavy fabric, restrictive or shapewear garments, etc).

​

The touch used is very gentle - nothing painful or uncomfortable. It is not uncommon for clients to experience a range of sensations during treatment e.g. tingling, tenderness, warmth. Most common is a deep sense of relaxation (often sleep), calm and wellbeing.

Due to the gentle nature of Bowen it is ideal for use on people of all ages, from babies to the elderly.
