The Bowen technique is a dynamic system of muscle and connective tissue therapy. It utilizes small but measured inputs to the body using gentle and non invasive hand pressure which stimulates the body to heal itself, often profoundly. The practitioner delivers signals to the nervous system at specific locations (on muscles, tendons, ligaments or nerves) and the body does the rest.

At your session your practitioner will ask you about your health history and reason for the visit so as to find out the best treatment plan. After filling in a Client Information Form and the intake interview, the client lies on a bodywork table while wearing loose clothing. If necessary for comfort, Bowenwork can also be performed in a seated or standing position. The practitioner will apply gentle, precise movements across specific muscles or tendons. Each move applied sends a healing message to your body, allowing it to relax and regain proper function. A session includes essential pauses between each series of moves to give your body time to integrate the signals into the healing process. The pressure used by the practitioner is almost always less than you would expect. Bowenwork is unique in its ability to bring about many changes in your body without the use of force or painful manipulation. The most common reactions to a Bowenwork session are a deep sense of overall relaxation and lessening of muscular tension and pain.
