Bowen therapy is gentle, calm & quiet

There is no forceful manipulation & no dramatic bone-cracking; Bowen therapy is the art of understanding the client’s issues and needs and making use of gentle yet precise finger-tip movements that stimulate the body’s own nervous system receptors to begin to self-heal. The ‘moves’ practiced by your therapist follow the pattern of the lines of the fascia, and there are set, natural pauses during the therapy that allow your body to rest and adapt and for your practitioner to assess your changes.

Given the gentle nature of Bowen it lends itself to everybody; pregnant women, children and infants, the older person and sports-fanatics.

What can Bowen therapy treat?

This is not an exhaustive list, and Bowen therapy can help with many of the mind-body inter-connected disorders of 21st century living that are not obviously ‘physical’ yet affect the body as well as the mind; chronic and acute anxiety, depression, body repetitive disorders, headache and tic behaviours. Bowen sees no separation between body and mind, simply the being as one organism.
