Bowen is a holistic remedial body technique that works on the soft connective tissue (fascia) of the body. It is a gentle form of body work, in which very subtle moves are performed over the muscle and connective tissue, sending messages deep into the body, retrieving cellular memory in a  relaxed and balanced way of well-being.​
The Bowen technique is safe to use on anyone, from newborns to the elderly and can be used to treat musculoskeletal or related neurological problems including acute sports injuries and chronic or organic conditions. It is gentle and relaxing and does not use forceful manipulation.
It is a holistic therapy that addresses the whole person and aims to treat the cause of problems, rather than the symptoms.
Humble beginnings of Bowen
The Bowen Technique was developed in the 1950’s by the late Tom Bowen from Geelong, Australia.  He became interested in ways to alleviate human suffering and began to notice that certain moves on the body had particular effects. He continued to develop and refine the technique throughout his lifetime with the help of his friend and secretary, Rene Horwood. Mr.Bowen was extremely busy in his Geelong clinic, performing about 13,000 treatments a year. An amazing number of clients passed through the clinic and benefited from his gift. Mr. Bowen also held clinics for children, people with disabilities, and community service workers. Even today the teachings of Mr. Bowen are inspiring!
