About Bowen
Bowen is a remarkable and powerful tool, encouraging your body to heal itself. All your body needs is the stimulus to help it to communicate with your brain, thereby initiating the self-healing process.
Thumbs and fingers are used to make small rolling moves over precise points of the body, gently stimulating fascia which connects to muscles, soft tissue and energy.
A treatment consists of small sets of moves, with breaks in-between. During these breaks I may leave the room for a short while, allowing the body to rest and respond to the moves.
This gives the body an opportunity to make those subtle adjustments which relieve tension, reduce pain and promote healing.
Bowen therapy was developed in Australia by Tom Bowen in the 1950s. He was a healer and could feel the vibration of muscles, telling him where to make subtle moves.
