Bowen Therapy is a drug free, non invasive, remedial therapy for pain relief and relaxation. Bowen is not massage, acupressure or chiropractic. There is no manipulation, adjustment or force used but instead treatment involves a sequence of gentle moves over muscle and soft tissue, interspersed with periods of rest.
Bowen Therapy is undoubtedly unique as it utilizes the body's own capacity to rebalance and heal itself and as such can be highly effective in treating people suffering from a vast range of conditions. It is therefore also suitable for clients of all ages from babies to the elderly and can be an ideal therapy for pregnant women and people suffering from chronic or acute pain.
PLEASE NOTE: Bowen therapy is not intended as a substitute for medical advice or treatment. If in doubt please consult your doctor.
