Bowen Therapy - What is it and how does it work?

The Bowen Technique is a very gentle form of natural healing. Bowen treatment involves only light moves, applied to very specific points on the body, with significant pauses or rests between each series of moves.

After your first experience of treatment, you will probably wonder how such gentle moves can have so powerful an effect - not only on your posture and structural problems (e.g. bad back, frozen shoulder etc) but also on your general well-being.

Bowen Therapy can assist recovery from many conditions, from traumatic injury to chronic illness, depending upon each individual's capacity to heal.

Unlike many other hands-on therapies, the Bowen Technique does not use forceful manipulation. A unique skill of the Bowen practicitioner is 'tissue tension’ sense, meaning that the practitioners are able to discern stress build up in muscles and other soft tissue enabling them to perform specific Bowen moves to assist recovery.

The practitioner can target a specific problem or address the body as a whole.

It is mostly performed with the person lying on a treatment table however procedures may be undertaken in almost any position.

Emmett Therapy

Emmett Therapy is a muscle release technique. The sequence of muscle activation points used in Emmett can unlock muscle memory.

This activation gives the brain the opportunity to set up a new state of re-alignment in the body.

Light pressure sequences are used to release the neuromuscular problems and the effect can be an almost instantaneous result.

Together the Bowen and Emmett Therapy work very effectively.

Personal Experience

I was a Body Sculpting Figure Competitor over a 3 year period. Throughout this time I suffered chronic pain with various injuries and dysfunctions and was unable lie straight or walk properly for a year after my 2010 competition when I hurt my back during squats. I was told I needed back surgery by my doctor but I decided that would be my last resort. This is where my journey of natural therapies began.

I found many therapists were unable to treat me properly due to my movement restrictions on a table and I generally suffered more pain during treatments than what I was already trying to cope with. As I worked my way down the list of recommended therapists, the thought of surgery was becoming inevitable.

When I discovered how gentle Bowen Therapy was and that alignment could be done in any position, I knew I had to learn the technique to help others who shared my journey. My condition improved, I no longer needed surgery and I became a qualified Bowen Therapist. I then discovered Emmett Therapy, a similar technique that unlocked muscle memory which helped me regain the flexibility I had lost. I found the two techniques complimented each other and I soon became an Emmett Practitioner.

If you are at a stage where pain is taking its toll on your everyday life or limiting you in doing the things you enjoy come and see for yourself how these techniques can give you back your quality of life and start living again.
