The
Bowen Technique is a gentle hands-on therapy that is useful
in promoting healing where long term muscular pain has been
inhibiting to the client's lifestyle. Although it does involve
active bodywork, Bowen work is not a type of massage.
The treatment comprises a specific series of vibrational movements
applied to muscles ,tendons and connective tissue, performed
in a fixed sequence. The aim is to disturb the muscles and
soft tissues, as well as the energetic body surrounding the
physical. After three or four of these movements, the client
is left in peace to process the last section and allow for
the body to be receptive to the next sequence.
The treatment was developed by Tom Bowen, an Australian who
established it as a recognized therapy between the 1950 - 1970.
Now practiced world wide, the Bowen technique is useful in
treating cases of chronic or acute musculo-skeletal pain, and
in the healing and regeneration of tissue as a result of sports
injuries.
A Bowen technique lasts for app. 45 minutes and is performed
with the client wearing light clothing.
