Bowen Therapy was developed by Tom Bowen in Australia in the 1950s. Since 1986 it has been taught extensively throughout the world through numerous training schools such as Fascial Kinetics, Bowtech and SmartBowen.
Precise
The Bowen therapy moves are a form of gentle but precise soft tissue manipulation. These moves are focused on crucial junctions of fascial planes: muscles, ligaments, tendons, nerve pathways, blood and lymph vessels. Tissue restrictions are freed and reconnections made. Bowen therapy naturally leads to an optimum rate of healing based on an individual’s body resources and their level of injury.
Gentle
It is a gentle therapy that does not require deep pressure, although the pressure is varied for each client. For most people the relaxation response is invoked, and they may even fall asleep during the treatment.
Fast
Rapid results are common. Often there is a response in one treatment and most injuries and pain can respond in 3 or 4 sessions. There is no limit to the number of treatments a client can receive. Preventive treatments are of great benefit to help keep the body in a state of optimal balance and prevent re-injury.
Effective
Clients usually experience a deep and long lasting sense of relief, even from long standing injury or pain. The therapist applies the minimum number of techniques needed to bring about a healing response in the body.
