Bowen Technique


The Bowen TechniqueA Bowen treatment affects the body in ways that promote healing, pain relief and recovery of energy. The experience of the treatment is gentle, subtle and relaxing. The practitioner uses thumbs 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 & fine adjustments which help relieve tension, reduce pain & initiate the healing process. Bowen can safely treat common problems such as back & neck pains, knee problems, sports injuries, RSI, frozen shoulder, headaches, migraine etc. Initially 2-3 treatments are required over a period of two weeks & then maintenance 2-4 times a year or tailoring to the individuals needs.
