Bowen Therapy provides an affordable, quick, effective resolution to chronic pain. Tom Bowen developed what is now called “The Bowen Technique” or Bowen Therapy in Geelong, Australia. Bowen is a type of vibrational healing that balances the Autonomic Nervous System ( one responsible for stress and relaxation) using a series of simple, gentle moves across muscle and connective tissue. The technique is so gentle it can be used on anyone from infants to the elderly. Sessions usually last about an hour.

What to expect?
In Bowen, the doctor typically applies the moves and then leaves the room. These short pauses between sets of moves allow the body to fully integrate the stimulus received. This stimulus triggers the parasympathetic nervous system and puts the body into a state of deep relaxation. In this state the body is reminded how to heal and balance itself. It begins to correct itself, striving toward finding homeostasis and achieving a total sense of health and well-being.
Principles of Bowen:
- “Less is more” very little is needed in order to get results fast and effective treatment
- Moves are light but precise = profound results
- Holistic- works on all levels : physical, physiological, as well as mental and emotional
- How: because it affects nerves governing these functions
- Healing time needed ( 5-7 days )
- How many: usually 3-5 treatments once a week

- Balance and stimulate the flow of energy through the body
