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.
