What is it?

Developed by Tom Bowen in Australia, this therapy has been used extensively in Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the USA to help thousands.

The Bowen Technique consists of a series of precise moves on specific parts of the body using the thumb and fingers. There are frequent and important pauses between each series of moves, giving the body time to benefit from each.

There is no manipulation involved and the treatment results in a general feeling of well being. But that is only the beginning ...

The body's natural healing responses are triggered and improvement is usually experienced within a few days, if not immediately.

Two to three treatments, usually at weekly intervals are often sufficient, each treatment lasting 30 - 45 minutes

This gentle procedure can be used on everyone from the newly born to the aged.

It is particularly effective for:

• Stress and tension-based disorders
• Musculo-skeletal symptoms like frozen shoulder, tennis elbow, back pain
• Sports injuries
• Arthritis and M.E.
• Hayfever, Asthma and Migraine
• Infertility and pregnancy related disorders

You don't have to be unwell to benefit from a Bowen Treatment. It is an ideal way to help the body function at an optimum state of health and efficiency.
