Bowen Therapy at Aurea Health
....helping your body heal itself & improving your overall health and well-being
Bowen Therapy is a holistic remedial body technique that works on the connective tissue (fascia) of the body. It is a form of body work, in which very subtle moves are performed over the muscle fibres 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 pain or organic conditions. It is measured, controlled and relaxing .
It is a holistic therapy that addresses the whole person and aims to treat the cause of problems, rather than the symptoms or the site of the issue. |
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. Tom never documented his technique, but instead trained six students who developed training in Bowen therapy - thus continuing his legacy and gift to the world. Even today the teachings of Mr. Bowen are inspiring!
