The Bowen Technique

---

The Bowen Technique is a remedial, versatile & holistic therapy that uses a gentle rolling-type move over the skin in specific locations and is designed to disturb the underlying muscle, fascia and organs.  What defines it are the “breaks” between each sequence of moves which are a very important aspect of the treatment and allow the appropriate response to take place within the body.  This response may sometimes be immediate or can take up to 10 days which is why we suggest that you do not receive any other therapies in between Bowen treatments .*

* There are exceptions to this which can be explained during your consultation. 

WHAT CAN I EXPECT DURING A TREATMENT?

The Bowen Technique does not include any prolonged pressure or hard manipulation.   It is generally relaxing and pleasant to receive as the pressure used is generally light but can be adapted to suit the individual and most of the moves can be made through light clothing with the client lying, sitting or standing - making it an ideal therapy for everyone from babies & children to athletes, the elderly or disabled.

HOW LONG WILL A BOWEN TREATMENT LAST?

An initial treatment will usually last between 60-75 mins as this will include a thorough consultation and, where appropriate, some testing eg. Range of movement of affected areas.

Follow-up treatments will usually last between 30-60 minutes.
