Bowen Technique is a gentle form of body work in which very subtle moves performed over the muscles and connective tissue which sends messages deep into the body, retrieving cellular memory of a relaxed, balanced way of well-being. Learn more about Bowen at this alternative website HERE

How does it work?

The Bowen moves are light, gentle and very precise. There is no forceful manipulation. The practitioners are able to discern stress build-up in muscles and other soft tissue, enabling them to perform specific Bowen moves to assist recovery and pain relief.

There are frequent but very essential pauses throughout the session that allow the body time to respond and begin the healing process. The practitioner can target a specific problem or address the body as a whole.

A Bowen session initiates a cascade of beneficial changes that continue for several days. Applying other manipulative therapies during this time can interrupt this process and undermine the overall effectiveness of the Bowen work. It is therefore recommended that the client waits a week before commencing any other manual therapy.
