Bowen is a very gentle, relaxing, non-invasive technique, which is extremely powerful. The gentle moves stimulate energy flow, encouraging the body to heal and re-set, bringing balance back to the body, helping to eliminate pain and relieve stress and anxiety.
​
This physical therapy can achieve long lasting results and in some cases prevent the need for surgery.
​​
The Bowen ‘move’ comprises of a gentle challenge to the muscle (or in some cases, tendon or nerve bundles) which is held for a couple of seconds, followed by a gentle rolling movement. It sends messages through the fascia to the body’s autonomic nervous system, prompting a healing response.
