Developed in Australia in the 1950's, and named after Mr Tom Bowen its originator, the Bowen technique is a gentle and relaxing hands-on therapy, in which the practitioner makes a series of 'moves' over the muscles and soft tissues of the patient, using only the fingers and thumbs. There is no need to remove light clothing, and a treatment lasts about 45 minutes. Continuous short breaks are given as part of the treatment to allow the body to ‘adjust to the messages’ received through the nervous system.
Bowen creates a balance in the body by releasing ‘energy blockages’. It is particularly effective at relieving muskulo-skeletal pain, but may also help people with a wide range of conditions.
