Bowen therapy is a very gentle, non-invasive bodywork technique designed to stimulate the body's natural healing response. It consists of a series of precise movements on specific acupuncture points used to treat imbalances of all kinds.
The Bowen technique was developed in the 1950's by Australian therapist Tom Bowen. Session are usually between 30-60 minutes and include 4-7 procedures designed for specific conditions. Often one treatment is all that is needed, some conditions may require 2-3 sessions. The client is seated or lying down with clothing on. The light rolling movements are performed on muscles, tendons, ligaments, and fascia. Each procedure consists of a series of precise moves on specific acupuncture points. The structure (muscle, tendon, or nerve sheath) is identified with the thumb or the fingers. The skin is gently slackened in the opposite direction, then the muscle is "challenged" with gentle pressure in the direction of the intended move. Finally, the skin is allowed to move across the structure and a gentle wave is introduced. The result is a clearing of blockages and an overall feeling of profound relaxation and well-being. Some people feel immediate relief, while others with more chronic conditions notice gradual improvement over several days.
Bowen Therapy is ideal for injuries, chronic strain and pain, terminal illness, as well as grief and loss.
