The Bowen Technique

The Bowen Technique was developed in the 50-70s by Tom Bowen, a self-taught manual therapist from Australia. Tom Bowen drew his inspiration from shiatsu, a Japanese manual therapy based on meridian knowledge and Chinese bodywork, as well as from various other manual therapies. He also understood the importance of a healthy and balanced diet and of a proper hydration for physical well-being in general, and as a pre-condition for the body to re-balance itself.
While being gentle, painfree, and non invasive, the Bowen Technique often achieves spectacular results and has proven its effectiveness in a very wide range of applications.

The Bowen Technique treats the person not the condition. As it works by stimulating the self-healing process, you can use it on almost everything. The Bowen practitioner does not make a diagnosis or interfere with medical treatment. In case a problem persists after a few Bowen sessions, the client should seek medical attention. The following problems respond particularly well to the Bowen approach:

Anxiety, nervousness, stress-related issues
Emotional issues
Insomnia, sleep pattern disruption
Faster recuperation after illness, operations or accidents
Back pain, sciatica
Bad circulation, high or low blood pressure
Bed-wetting
