What is Bowen Therapy?

The Bowen Technique usually results in the relief of many specific injuries and other health problems, both acute and chronic. It does so holistically, by using the body's innate healing mechanisms. The practitioner delivers signals to the nervous system at specific locations (on muscles, tendons, ligaments, or nerves), and the body does the rest. A session may last from fifteen minutes to an hour. Most often, a surprisingly few sessions are needed to alleviate complaints, whether structural or functional, even if long-standing. And the results are miraculous!

Bowen can help the body recover from a variety of conditions, from serious injuries to chronic illnesses, depending on each person’s ability to heal.

Conditions that respond well are:

- back pain
- neck and shoulder problems
- knee, ankle and foot problems
- frozen shoulder
- groin pain, and pelvic tilt
- sports and accident injuries
- RSI, carpal tunnel and tennis elbow
- heel spurs, bunions, hammertoes and plantar fasciitis

- migraines and headaches
- jaw pain (TMJ problems)
- ear-ache, ear infections
- respiratory problems and allergies
- digestive and bowel problems (including IBS)

- fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue
- hormone related problems like infertility, PMS and menopause

- colic in infants
- back pain in pregnancy
