bowen technique

The Bowen Technique was developed by Tom Bowen (1916-1982), Geelong, Australia. He developed the work over many years and treated an enormous number of patients with a success rate of about 88% after only two or three treatments.

This non-invasive treatment can be deeply relaxing and is safe for people of all ages, from babies to the very elderly and infirm. It addresses many conditions from sports injuries to chronic and organic complaints. The gentle moves stimulate energy flow, empowering the body’s own natural resources to heal itself.

Bowen allows the body to re-pattern energy fields to address physical, mental and emotional stress. The precise location of each Bowen move correlates markedly with the latest research on the meridian energy systems, acupoints and trigger point therapy

Why would I choose this healing therapy?
Many people find Bowen technique to be a highly effective and powerful treatment for a wide variety of conditions, both acute and chronic. From backache, to chronic fatigue, migraines, sciatica and sports related injuries through to pregnancy and childbirth related conditions and acute pain relief, sports injuries, musculoskeletal problems, allergies, digestive issues or sciatica. The practitioner makes gentle rolling movements at precise points over tendons/ligaments/muscles or nerves with her thumbs and fingers, interspersed with periods of rest, to allow your body to respond. Benefits may include long term relief from pain, realignment and increased energy.

The Bowen Technique is an empowering therapy which uses deep relaxation to encourage your body’s self-healing resources. Unlike most massage-based treatments, it aims to realign your body from within, rather than through external physical manipulation. it focuses on stimulating and balancing your energy flows

Bowen Technique allows structural realignment of the whole body back to its most optimum state. It then makes space for more balance, bringing symmetry back to the body, which then frees us from compensation patterns

Bowen is also good during pregnancy and is safe for adults and babies.
Dr Marie Gowri Motha uses Bowen in “The gentle birth Method”

Three to six visits are generally recommended for maximum results. In my experience I have treated clients with ME Chronic fatigue and Fibromyalgia and had very good results and feedback , e.g. reducing medication/painkiller, increasing energy and vitality.

You do not have to remove any clothing for this treatment.
