What is Bowen Therapy?

Bowen Therapy, also know as Bowen Technique is a gentle, holistic form of bodywork that aims to promote healing and pain relief by stimulating the body’s natural self-healing mechanisms. It involves precise, rolling movements over muscles, tendons and fascia (connective tissues).

How it Works:

• Practitioners use thier fingers and thumbs to perform light, specific moves on targeted areas of the body
• These movements are interspersed with short pauses, allowing the body to process the signals and begin realignment or healing
• The therapy is thought to influence the nervous system, promoting relaxation, reducing pain and improving overall function

Common Applications:

Bowen Therapy is used to address a wide range of conditions, including:

• Musculoskeletal issues like back pain, neck pain and joint discomfort
• Sports injuries
• Chronic pain and fibromyalgia
• Stress, anxiety and fatigue
• Digestive problems and respiratory issues

Benefits:

• Non-invasive and suitable for most people of all ages, including infants and the elderly
