It embraces the physical, chemical, emotional and mental aspects of each person receiving a treatment.

The Bowen therapist is merely a catalyst, setting the stimulus in motion for the body is so amazing, self-healing often being achieved within seconds. The Bowen treatment whether to address a specific problem or maintain a healthy body is the essence of simplicity.

Although it is a powerful and dynamic tool for treating ailments and injuries, many people in good health enjoy regular treatments to maintain optimal body balance. It differs from traditional massage techniques in that Bowen utilises cross- fibre muscle manipulation which, in turn, seems to create a deep sense of relaxation.

 It is also extremely effective as a remedial therapy for those overcoming sports injuries, accidents and other ailments. The Bowen Technique also improves rehabilitation time regardless of how old or recent the injury may be. Chronically ill patients benefit as well as the disabled.
 

HOW DOES BOWEN WORK ?
 
Thomas A Bowen (1903 – 1982) developed this technique in Geelong Victoria. After serving in World War 2, Bowen became interested in ways to alleviate human suffering. He began to notice that when he made certain moves on the body, it had particular effects. The technique is unique in that it was developed without Bowen having any previous training in any modality or discipline. In fact he often stated that his work was a gift. Over a period of several years he developed the system as it is used today.
 Simply stated the Bowen Technique resets the body to heal itself.  The work consists of a series of gently rolling connective tissue moves, using a light touch and may be done through clothing. There are frequent important pauses between these moves, which give the body time to benefit from each set.
By combining moves, both placement and in location, the practitioner is able to address the body as a whole or target a specific problem. A unique tool of the practitioner is ’tissue tension sense’ , meaning the practitioner is able to discern stress build-up in muscle groups and then utilise Bowen Therapy moves to release that stress.
The  Bowen Technique balances and stimulates energy flows, resulting in a deep sense of overall relaxation. The restorative process begins once the body is relaxed, and continues as the body allows. Healing seems to occur by affecting the body’s autonomic nervous system, which creates homeostasis at a cellular level.
