The Therapy                                    

Originating in Australia and developed by Thomas Ambrose Bowen (1916-1982), Bowen Therapy has steadily become more accessible worldwide.

​

The Treatment                                                   

Bowen Therapy is a gentle hands-on therapy performed over light clothing either lying down or sitting. Using the thumb and fingers the therapist works over specific areas of the body in a series of rolling type moves that work across muscle, ligament, tendons and fascia, without force, pressure or manipulation.

​

The Breaks                                                

Short breaks during the treatment session allow the body to process, respond and initiate the body’s natural healing process. Each session lasts 45 – 60 minutes with a case history being taken at the beginning of the first session. Initially 2 – 3 treatments 5 – 10 days apart are recommended and for more longstanding conditions follow up treatments would be beneficial. During the period of treatment, it is recommended that patients do not partake of any other hands on therapy as this may interfere with the body’s healing process.
