The Bowen Technique

Men, women and children of all ages can benefit from Bowen and a wide range of conditions can be safely addressed.
During a Bowen treatment, the practitioner uses thumbs and fingers on precise points on the body making rolling-type moves which aim to stimulate energy into the muscles and soft tissue.
During the period of rests, the body responds to the moves and makes subtle adjustments to initiate the healing process. The Bowen Technique encourages re-alignment of the body without manipulation of hard tissue or force.
A treatment usually lasts between 30 and 45 minutes and can be applied through light clothing.
Two or three treatments at weekly intervals are often sufficient to achieve lasting relief, although chronic conditions may benefit from 'maintenance' treatments over a more extended period of time. Bowen can also be used to manage stress and well being.
