I am also a current member of the Bowen Association of Australia. Bowen Therapy is an Australian-developed technique, that has been used for over 70 years. It is now well accepted globally as a gentle holistic treatment. Bowen therapy is a remedial body technique that works on the mechanoreceptors and fascia (soft connective tissue) of the body. Bowen therapy can be used to treat musculoskeletal o
r related neurological problems including acute sports injuries and a wide range of chronic conditions. It is a gentle and relaxing modality and does not use forceful manipulation. It also restores balance to the autonomic nervous system (ANS) and helps the body’s own healing resources to achieve equilibrium. Bowen therapy is performed on the superficial and deep fascia. The fascia, or soft tissue, is the part of the connective tissue that envelops, separates and influences every organ and tissue in the body. It also affects the below structures to influence the body’s systems:
Nerves - Fascia - Muscles - Tendons - Ligaments - Joints
This unique system of body work combines osteopathic principles, chiropractic theory and acupoint sites, delivered through the body’s soft tissue. The outcome is structural integrity of the musculoskeletal system, resulting in optimum function of the body’s Central Nervous System, so that the body can heal and adjust. The Bowen technique is safe to use on anyone, from newborns to the elderly. It is a holistic treatment that treats the whole person and aims to treat the cause of problems, rather than just the symptoms. Bowen Therapy can result in rapid and often long-lasting relief from pain and discomfort, often where other modalities and treatments have not been effective. Regular Bowen therapy sessions can aid in improved general health, flexibility, sporting performance, relaxation and emotional wellbeing.
