The Bowen Technique
The Bowen Technique is suitable for adults and children, including newborn babies and the elderly.
The practitioner uses thumbs or fingers to make a series of precise, rolling type moves over muscle. During the treatment there are a series of short breaks where the patient is left resting to allow their body to respond to the gentle moves that have been performed. This rest period gives the body time to make the subtle and fine adjustments, which help to re-balance, relieve tension and reduce pain. It is these features which make the Bowen Technique unique.

An appointment will take approximately 45 minutes, and most of the work can be performed through light clothing (or directly on skin). Four to five treatments, at weekly intervals are often sufficient to achieve lasting relief, although further treatments may be required. To receive maximum benefit it is recommended that other physical therapies are not mixed with the Bowen Technique for example, reflexology, massage, physiotherapy.
What does it treat?
The Bowen Technique aims to balance the whole person, not just the symptoms. Common presentations include back and neck pain, knee problems, sports injuries, RSI, frozen shoulder, tennis elbow and respiratory problems, to name but a few. Practically any problem can potentially be addressed and some people use the Bowen Technique as a means of stress management and health maintenance, seeing their therapist regularly 2-4 times a year.
Where did it originate?
Thomas Ambrose Bowen of Geelong, Australia developed his own “technique” and had a thriving practice until he died in the 1980’s. His approach is now known throughout the world.
