Bowen Therapy is a gentle, non-invasive soft tissue therapy which engages your body’s own ‘inner doctor’. It brings specific points in the body, such as tight muscles causing pain or restriction, to the forefront of the body’s healing priorities. Sometimes our bodies need a helping hand to get the ball rolling, and draw attention to a place that needs it. With the guidance of a skilled therapist, the results can be surprising, as long-held patterns melt away, sometimes instantly.. And sometimes over a period of time.

 

Bowen Therapy also assists to increase circulation, the efficiency of the lymphatic system, and can assist in balancing hormones. It is highly relaxing, and can assist in de-stressing on both a physical and mental level, as it calms both the central and peripheral nervous systems... leading to more balance in the body. (Note: results vary depending on the skill of the therapist, and the areas being treated).

​

What can you expect?

A Bowen treatment is gentle, rhythmic and soothing.  Clients should not experience any major discomfort during a treatment. The technique is holistic and non-invasive and triggers a deep relaxation response. Rolling finger and thumb movements are applied to the soft tissues, muscles and tendons through light clothing, with no oils used.
