Bowen

What is the Bowen Technique?

This is a gentle muscle-release therapy consisting of a dynamic series of gentle, precise and relaxing “rolling” moves over muscles and soft tissue. Bowen empowers the body’s own healing resources to achieve balance and harmony. The moves encourage the body to balance itself both structurally and also in terms of its organs and systems. For this reason, Bowen is effective in treating all kinds of aches and pains as well as imbalances within the respiratory, digestive, circulatory, reproductive systems, etc. Many clients find the simplicity of this therapy remarkable and are amazed at its effectiveness for all kinds of health problems.

The treatment is non-invasive and NO forceful manipulation is used.

The gentle movements are interspersed with periods of rest to allow the body to “process” the treatment. Sometimes during these breaks the client may feel subtle responses and fine adjustments taking place.

Treatments are usually performed over light clothing and can last anywhere from 15 to 50 minutes. Sessions are generally one week apart and often clients will only need a minimal number of sessions.

It is not normally helpful to receive other bodywork therapies (such as deep tissue massage) within a few days of receiving Bowen. However, the Emmett Technique is a closely-related therapy which has been found to enhance the beneficial effects of Bowen.
