Who can it help?

The Bowen technique is suitable for adults and children and the elderly.

What is it?

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. The rest period is an important part of the treatment and gives the body time to make the subtle and fine adjustments, which help to rebalance, relieve tension and reduce pain. It is these features which make the Bowen technique unique.

What does a Treatment Involve?

An appointment will take approximately 1-1 ½ hours and most of the work can be performed through light clothing or directly onto the skin. Two or three treatments at weekly intervals are often sufficient to achieve lasting relief, although further treatments may also be required.

"The Bowen Technique treats the whole person, not just the condition."

What does it treat?

The Bowen Technique aims to balance the whole person, not 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 be potentially addressed and some people use the Bowen Technique as a means of stress management, health maintenance and improving sporting performance, seeing their therapist regularly 2-4 times a year.
