What is the Bowen Technique?

The Bowen Technique is a dynamic system of muscle and connective tissue therapy that is revolutionising health care worldwide. It is a unique form of neuromuscular patterning and works primarily through the nervous system on both the structural and energetic levels of the body.

The Bowen Technique provides rapid and long lasting relief from pain and discomfort, and is safe to use on anyone from a newborn child to the elderly.

How does it work?

A treatment consists of a series of gentle, precise, rolling movements over muscles. These stimulations activate a systematic response in the body, so powerful, that a few minutes pause is required between moves to allow the body time to respond and benefit. The technique is gentle and non-invasive and if necessary can be performed through light clothing.

The body is a complex unit, dependant upon the balance of all its aspects; physical, emotional, mental and spiritual. This perspective is integral to the success of Bowen. One move on the body may address the entire system, however, while each move if profoundly effective, the full benefit is gained through a complementary series of moves.

The Bowen Technique is a process of releases that nourishes the structure around the spine, which then nourishes the corresponding structures. It also balances the fluid around the brain and spine (eg epilepsy is known as a decrease of fluid around the brain).

We do not impose a healing mechanism on the body; the technique empowers the body to heal itself. It stimulates energy flow, which activates the body’s own resources for healing.

How many treatments will I need?

Benefits are usually apparent within 2-3 sessions, even when long standing conditions are being treated. Benefits are not limited to the presenting physical problem, but extend to the individuals emotional, mental and spiritual levels of healing. The results are lasting and profound.

It is recommended that a minimum of three (3) treatments be given for most disorders.

• The 1st treatment is to balance the fluid.
• The 2nd treatment benefits most if done within 5-7 days of 1st treatment. This is the optimum time for the body to receive the second input of nourishment to the spine.
• The 3rd treatment is optimally done within 7-14 days of 2nd treatment. This treatment completes the nourishment to the whole of the body’s structures.
• Long standing problems may require further treatments.

It is not unusual for the patient to feel no benefit whilst on the table. When gravity takes over fully, full action takes affect. Some patients may feel muscle soreness during the 24hrs following treatment.

The Bowen Technique continues working after treatment and benefits will be felt on a daily basis.
