About

What is the Bowen Technique?

The Bowen Technique is a natural, holistic therapy pioneered by Thomas Bowen (1916 –1982), who devoted his life to developing and refining the method in Geelong, Australia after the Second World War. By the early 1970s he was treating around 13,000 people a year, and practitioners trained by him introduced the technique into Britain and many other countries during the 1990s until the current date.

Now there is over 40,000 practitioners in over 35 different countries.

What does the Bowen Technique involve?

The therapy consists of a series of rolling ‘moves’ over muscle and connective tissue using light touch. Touch is used in a very different way to other forms of hands-on therapy, such as massage, and is only applied briefly at precise points on the body. These careful ‘moves’ prompt the body to redress physical imbalances and heal injuries, promoting relief from pain and renewal of energy. The body normally responds quickly to the therapy, making it a clinically effective and cost effective treatment. Even long-standing complaints can disappear, often after only a single session.

The world over, Bowen Practitioners have found an ever-increasing number of conditions that respond extremely well to the treatment, including:

Migraine and Headaches

Infant Colic

Fibromyalgia

Restless Babies

Frozen Shoulder

Stress Disorder

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Back pain or tightness

Whiplash, stiff neck

Sports Injuries

Sciatica pain

Digestive problems

Hayfever, Sinusititis

Bed Wetting

Hormonal Disorder

Menstrual pain, cramps

knee/ankle problems

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Hammer Toe, Bunnions

One of the most exciting areas emerging with Bowen Therapy is how extremely effective it is in treating asthma, particularly childhood asthma.

The treatment for asthma in young children and babies is simple and consists of a few gentle ‘moves’ on the child’s back and abdomen.
