The Bowen Technique is a safe remedial
therapy involving gentle rolling moves over soft tissues of
the body at precise points and includes periods of rest to
help it take effect.
The process releases energy, sending
impulses to the brain to trigger the body’s own healing
systems.
We treat the whole person, not just the
symptoms. There is no hard tissue manipulation or deep
pressure involved; thus making it suitable for the elderly.
It is particularly good for new injuries and is increasingly
used by sports men and women.

respond particularly well.
Bowen gets to the places that other
therapies/treatments can’t reach.
Bowen will not interfere with any medication
you may be taking.
Where does it come from?
The technique was developed by Tom Bowen of
Geelong, Australia during the last century. His approach is
now known throughout the world.
What does it involve?
The first session involves a
FREE
consultation and can take up to 1 hour 15 mins. Please
bring a list of current medication with you. Follow up
appointments take approximately 45-60 mins.
During the treatment there are a series of
short breaks where the patient is left resting to allow
their body to
respond to the gentle moves that have been
performed. This is an important part of the treatment and
makes The Bowen Technique unique.
Bowen can be performed on skin or through
light clothing. If unsure bring a T-shirt and some shorts
with you.
Avoid any other physical therapies such as
physiotherapy, osteopathy, massage, acupuncture etc within 7
days before or after a treatment.
How many treatments would I need?
Three to five treatments at weekly intervals
are usually enough to give long lasting relief, although
further treatments may be required. We understand that each person is different
so cannot expect a specific outcome. New injuries usually
respond quickly whilst long term problems can take longer
and may need more treatments. It is important to give your
body time to heal.
Most people like to ’top up’ with
preventative treatments every 6-12 weeks and keen sports
people once every 7-10 days.
You may have more than one problem which you
may or may not even know about. Several ailments can be
improved together in the same treatment.
Please note
If you have any medical problems or concerns
please consult your G.P.
