Bowen Therapy

Bowen Therapy was developed by Tom Bowen (1916-1982) in Geelong, and is now recognized worldwide. Bowen Therapy is a dynamic technique that promotes deep relaxation and empowers self-healing. The technique works holistically to balance the physical, mental and emotional aspects of the body. It is an oil free technique applied either directly to the skin or through light clothing. It is safe for all ages.

Treatments comprise sequences of gentle, rolling movements over a muscle or tendon thereby freeing and hydrating the soft tissue. This releases toxins, improves the flow of nutrients, reduces pain and increases mobility. Time is allowed between sequences to enhance healing and encourage relaxation.

Bowen Therapy has a wide range of applications. Conditions that have responded well include:

  • Musculoskeletal pain and imbalance from accident and injury
  • Sciatica
  • Groin and hip pain
  • RSI/Carpal Tunnel
  • Knee, ankle and foot pain
  • Neck and shoulder pain
  • Organic complaints
  • Digestive
  • Respiratory
  • Menstrual and hormonal
  • Headaches
  • Back pain in pregnancy
  • Stress

An initial series of 3 treatments is advised. Regular Bowen Therapy can also maintain harmony and balance within the body.
