BOWEN THERAPY

Bowen Therapy, also called Bowen Technique or Bowtech, is a form of manual bodywork. It involves gently stretching the fascia — the soft tissue that covers all your muscles and organs and rolling movement of the muscle in order to promote pain relief, relaxation and realignment.

Specifically, this form of therapy uses ‘sets’  of precise  gentle, rolling hand movements. These Bowen ‘moves’ focus on the muscles, tendons, and ligaments, no manipulation of the vertebra is undertaken.  The idea is to reduce pain, relax muscle tension and realign postural imbalance by stimulating the nervous system to recognise the sustained state of spasm and reset.

The technique was created by Thomas Ambrose Bowen (1916–1982) in Australia. Bowen was a Natural Therapist, he claimed the therapy could reset the body’s pain response.

According to therapists who practice Bowen Technique, this type of therapy acts on the autonomic nervous system. It’s said to inhibit the sympathetic nervous system (your fight-or-flight response) and activate the parasympathetic nervous system (your rest-and-digest response).

Bowen Therapy is not a type of massage, physiotherapy, nor a form of osteopathy. It is a gentle highly effective stand-alone manual therapy not to be compared nor combined with other manual therapies.

It is widely recognised and used around the world – especially in Australia, being its’ country of origin. People continue to seek Bowen Therapy for a wide range of conditions.”
