Bowen Technique

Bowen Technique is a gentle, relaxing hands-on treatment, suitable for adults, children, including newborn babies, and the elderly.

A Bowen practitioner uses thumbs or fingers to make precise, rolling-type movements over muscle. During a Bowen treatment, the client will be left resting for short breaks to allow their body to respond, before continuing. The body is given time to make subtle adjustments which helps re-balance, relieve tension and reduce any pain.

The technique can be performed through light clothing, or directly onto the skin.

Normally an appointment takes about 45 minutes, and four to five treatments, at roughly weekly intervals are often sufficient to achieve lasting relief. In some cases further treatment may be required. It is normally recommended that other physical therapies, such as massage or reflexology, not be undertaken whilst having Bowen Technique treatment.
