Bowen Technique
Bowen Technique was developed in Australia in the 1950’s. Today, it is known around the world for its effective yet gentle treatment of a wide variety of ailments. Bowen is a cross-fiber, soft-tissue treatment. It approaches the body with the principle of “structure governs function.” Meaning, when the structures are returned to a healthy state, proper function will be restored.
During a Bowen appointment, a series of small moves are made over specific points on the body, usually over muscles, tendons or ligaments. These moves are done in a sequence that involves pauses, which allow the body time to integrate what has just been done and to heal itself. Bowen is gentle and relaxing, putting the body into parasympathetic mode, the most effective state for healing.
Bowen is safe for anyone including newborns, pregnant women, the elderly as well as frail individuals. People often find substantial and lasting relief in very few treatment sessions.
