What is Bowen Technique?

The Bowen technique (Bowtech) is a dynamic body therapy that has been used for more than 40 years to successfully treat thousands of people suffering from variety of illnesses. Developed by the late Tom Bowen, it is a unique system of gentle moves on soft tissue that stimulates energy flow, empowering the body to heal itself. Bowtech is safe for use on anyone from neonates to the elderly and produces lasting relief from pain and discomfort.

How Does it Work and What are the Benefits?

Bowtech consists of a series of precise moves. The 'Bowen Move' is a gentle challenge and release of muscle, tendon or nerve tissue. These movements stimulate the proprioceptors, (spindle cells and Golgi tendon organs) which detect changes in physical displacement. The body is then able to reprogram the feedback loop between the muscle and brain.

During this process, the body enters a 'Parasympathetic State' (Rest & Digest), so the treatment is deeply relaxing. There are frequent and important pauses between each series of movements to give the body time to assimilate and benefit from each movement.

Bowtech is a process that enables the body to regulate itself, and in the process eliminate many symptoms caused by complex blockages existing in the body.

Complimentary Therapy

The Bowen technique is often complemented with Kinesio taping.
