Bowen Therapy is a non-invasive therapeutic system utilizing cross-fiber muscle movement in specific areas of the body.

The moves are performed in categorical secession with waiting periods incorporated during the session. This resting time is very important because it appears to have the action of allowing the brain to assimilate, correlate and create a positive response in the area being treated.

When these moves are placed precisely across muscle and connective tissue, they alleviate a multitude of physical ailments. This has been verified by patients in clinical testing as effective in a high percentage of cases.

Bowenwork is a relaxing, hands-on technique that balances the nervous system and stimulates the body to heal itself. Bowenwork is elegant in its simplicity, yet powerful in the way it can address a wide range of conditions.

It's perfect for those who suffer from chronic pain and injuries, and is especially effective at decreasing emotional and physical stress.

Bowen practitioners work directly with the connective tissue and muscles. If the soft tissue or fascia around the misaligned bone remains tense, the bone might not stay in place if the soft tissue is not addressed.

Bowenwork focuses on how your body moves as a whole. Bowen also focuses on the nervous system, to get the body out of the 'fight or flight' stress patterns that result from injury.

Bowen focuses on relieving tension in the fascia, muscles and nervous system as a whole. Fascia is a protective layer of connective tissue that surrounds each muscle and muscle fiber. Through soft tissue manipulation and stimulation of the proprioceptors (internal nervous system receptors), Bowen sends a 'reset' message to the brain to return the body to a resting state. Bowen affects body posture, function and structure over the long term.

Bowen therapy is safe and recommended for everyone from highly trained athletes to pregnant women, child birth, newborn babies, children and the elderly.
