What is
Bowen?
Bowen is a physical therapy that was developed by Tom Bowen in Australia in the 1950's. Today Bowen has spread to 30 countries around the world.
Bowen is a holistic treatment that treats the whole body and aims to treat the cause of problems rather than the symptoms. The treatment consists of different rolling ‘moves’ performed at different pressures, speeds and directions on small areas of the body – anywhere from your head to your toes
How it works
Bowen works on the soft tissue of the body: nerves, muscles, tendons and fascia. Fascia is a layer of tissue that envelops, separates and influences every organ and tissue in the body. Fascia affects our posture, in particular our spine. If there is tension or weakness in an area it can cause pressure on nerves or tension in the muscles, resulting in misalignment and pain. Bowen also aids healing and reduces inflammation by improving blood flow to areas in the body that are restricted.
