What is the Bowen Technique?

The Bowen Technique is a form of soft tissue manipulation created by Thomas A. Bowen (1916-1982) of Geelong, Victoria in Australia. Each treatment consists of sets of soft tissue manipulations on muscle, nerves and tendons, interspersed by short pauses that allow the body to integrate the effects.

What conditions respond to the Bowen Technique?

From acute sports injuries to chronic conditions such as asthma and allergies, the Bowen Technique addresses many forms of "dis-ease," releasing pain and allowing the body’s own healing force to flourish.

Soothing and restorative, the Bowen Technique is safe to use on anyone, from newborns to the elderly, because no vigorous manipulations are involved.

Practitioners have found that Bowen therapy reduces physical, emotional and mental stress; improves joint mobility; increases circulation of lymphatic and venous fluids; enhances the assimilation of nutrients; and eliminates toxins.

In achieving all of the above, Bowen delivers profound, substantial, rapid and lasting relief from a wide range of conditions. For example:
