Bowen Therapeutic Technique

Gentle, fast, effective treatment for sporting injuries, musculo-skeletal symptoms, stress and tension discomfort, organic conditions, body balancing, bronchial symptoms, and much more.

Bowen is a dynamic system of muscle and connective tissue therapy. It is a gentle, effective pain-relief technique and a support to aid healing for most health conditions, from acute and chronic injuries to chronic internal ailments. Bowtech's unique system produces rapid and lasting pain-relief that amazes practitioners of all disciplines. The technique, which can be performed on anyone from the newborn to the aged, involves a series of gentle, precise moves on specific areas of the body. There are variations and combinations of moves for each section of the body. It is similar to homeopathy in that it stimulates the body to heal itself with a minimal amount of intervention involved in the healing process. Additionally, Bowen relaxes the body and then sets up a stimulus that encourages this self-healing action. Bowen produces an integrated body response that improves circulation, lymphatic and venos drainage, helping assimilate nutrients and eliminate toxins. Thus, it addresses physical, mental, and emotional imbalance. The patient does not have to be unwell to benefit from Bowen. It is an ideal therapy to help the body function at an optimal level of health and efficiency. It has been used for over 40 years to successfully treat thousands of people suffering from a multitude of maladies. Bowen therapists strongly adhere to a professional code of ethics.

Commonly treated conditions are:

  • sciatica
  • back pain
  • frozen shoulder
  • gynecological disorders
  • incontinence
  • bed wetting
  • improper gait
  • angina
  • bronchial symptoms
  • neck restrictions
  • repetitive strain injuries
  • ankle sprains
  • knee pain
  • migraine symptoms
  • stress and tension discomfort

 

Generally Bowen treatments are recommended on a schedule of 3 treatments 7 to 10 days apart. By these 3 sessions we can see how well Bowen will help particular concerns. Some patients may require only one treatment, finding immediate relief. Some require the full 3 sessions and others may require a few more sessions, depending on the individual's response.
