Bowen Therapy
Bowen therapy was developed by an Australian; Thomas Ambrose Bowen, who lived & practiced in Geelong Victoria. Thomas Bowen continued to develop his unique technique until his death in 1982. It is now taught and practised around the world, achieving remarkable results.
What is Bowen Therapy & how can it help you?
Bowen Therapy consists of a series of small rolling movements across different areas of the body in precise locations. The therapist is gently manipulating soft tissue, (muscle, tendons, ligaments, & facia) to stimulate specific receptors & also initiating a reaction through the nervous system.
The beauty of Bowen Therapy is in its approach; whilst there is an adjustment being made manually by the therapist, the treatment itself is actually the body's response to these Bowen moves. The technique stimulates the body's own innate ability to heal itself which is why so many different conditions can be addressed from the very first treatment. In other words your body is making its own corrections and healing itself, each person will react to treatment in their own unique way and in their own time.
A Bowen Therapist does not diagnose, and the technique is not designed to replace medical care. Bowen can be used safely in conjunction with any other medical care you are undertaking.
