The Bowen Technique is a gentle, subtle and relaxing hands-on treatment. No manipulation or deep massage is used. It is suitable for adults and children, including newborn babies and the elderly.
The practitioner uses thumbs or fingers to make a series of precise, rolling-type moves over muscle and tendons. During the treatment there are a series of short breaks where the patient is left resting to allow their body to respond to the moves that have been performed. This rest period is an important part of the treatment, allowing the body to make subtle and fine adjustments, which help to re-balance, relieve tension and reduce pain.
An appointment will take approximately 45 minutes, with most of the work performed through light comfortable clothing (or directly on the skin). 3-5 treatments at weekly intervals are often sufficient to achieve lasting relief.
The Bowen Technique aims to balance the whole person, not just the symptoms. Common presentations include back and neck pain, knee problems, sports injuries, RSI, frozen shoulder, tennis elbow and respiratory problems. Practically any problem can potentially be addressed and some people use the Bowen Technique as a means of enhancing their sports performance, to maintain optimum health or to manage stress.
