What is The Bowen Technique?

Tom Bowen developed this technique in the 20th century. It is a very simple, no nonsense remedial therapy that is gentle, non-intrusive yet very effective.

It is a hands holistic therapy, which, through a series of non-invasive, light, rollingmoves over muscles and connective tissue, it invites the body to reset and heal itself.

During the treatment we leave periods in which the client is left resting to allow the body to absorb the gentle moves that have been performed. This gives the body time to relieve tension, reduce pain and initiate the healing process. Bowen is not a form of massage.

Treatment can be performed through light clothing.

Common presenting symptoms are chronic back and neck pain, sports injuries, RSI, frozen shoulder and asthma. However, I have also found it to be remarkable for helping young people with ADHD and similar conditions such as Asperger’s Syndrome. Also, for people with chronic conditions such as ME., polymyalgia rheumatic, eczema, migraines and insomnia,

For horses, indeed all other animals Bowen is equally effective. It even works on chickens!
