What is Bowen Therapy and how does it work?
Bowen Therapy (Bowtech), is a gentle form of body work in which subtle moves performed over the muscles and connective tissue send messages deep into the body, retrieving cellular memory of a preferred, relaxed, balanced way of well-being. Results can be remarkable, even from the first session; often only a few sessions are needed to correct the presenting problem.
There are frequent but very essential pauses throughout the session that allows the body time to respond and begin the healing process. The practitioner can target a specific problem or address the body as a whole.
The technique addresses not only the musculoskeletal framework, but also the fascia, nerves and internal organs. The body's integrated response improves circulation and lymphatic drainage and aids assimilation of nutrients and elimination of toxins.
The Bowen technique was developed by the late Thomas Ambrose Bowen during the 1950s, who resided in the town of Geelong in Victoria Australia.
During his time as a therapist Tom worked tirelessly treating over 13,000 patients per year.
