The Bowen Technique

The Bowen Technique is an holistic approach to improving health and well being. It is not manipulation or massage. Instead, it consists of a series of gentle moves over muscles and tendons on specific areas of the body. This provides a unique sense of relaxation.

The principle of the technique is that, the energy contained within the fluid content of the body is altered. It is believed that this disturbance of energy provides a kick-start to the body’s innate healing system.

The Bowen Technique is a procedure that is generally considered to be suitable for most people including children and pregnant women. The result of treatment is usually a reduction of pain and other symptoms and an improvement in blood supply and lymphatic drainage. Many of those who receive Bowen therapy find that, in addition to their specific problem being helped, they acquire a new sense of awareness and clarity, enabling them to cope better with the stresses of life. An improvement in sleep pattern is often experienced resulting in an increase in energy.

Treatment is generally given at weekly intervals. The number of sessions required depends on the nature of the condition and the body’s ability to respond. Athletes, dancers, sportsmen and women and many others in the competitive field have the Bowen Technique regularly as they believe it enhances their performance.
