What is Bowen Therapy?

Bowen Therapy is a straightforward, gentle non-invasive hands-on remedial therapy that promotes healing, pain relief and energy rebalancing. The technique was developed by Australian Tom Bowen from the 1950s until his death in 1982.

How Does It Work?

The Bowen Technique is believed to work primarily through the nervous system on both structural and energetic levels. Bowen moves send electrical impulses to the brain, resulting in muscle relaxation and pain reduction. The moves also stimulate blood flow, lymphatic circulation and drainage.

Several of the moves are located along acupuncture meridians or on specific acupuncture points that are known to stimulate and balance the body's energy. These moves are thought to stimulate energy throughout the body, allowing it to reset and heal itself. The healing may occur at all levels as needed: physical, chemical, emotional, mental and energetic.
