The Bowen Technique
State of the Art Healing Technique
Feel the Difference
Bowtech is a dynamic system of muscle and connective tissue therapy that is revolutionising health care worldwide. Over the last 45 years, it has successfully treated thousands of people suffering from a variety of conditions, both acute and chronic.
Bowtech empowers the body to heal itself. The work consists of a series of gentle and precise moves on specific areas. It stimulates energy flow, which activates the body’s own resources for healing. The work is non invasive, and can be done through light clothing.
The technique is a model of simplicity — it produces maximum results with a minimum of intervention. "We do not impose a healing mechanism on the body; we respect it as inherent in each individual."

Where did the Bowen Technique originate?
The Bowen Technique was developed in the 1950’s by the late Tom Bowen from Geelong Australia.
Bowen became a celebrated therapist, regularly treating over 13,000 patients each year.
What it is and how does it work?
Bowtech, the original Bowen Technique, is a gentle form of body work in which very subtle moves performed over the muscles and connective tissue send messages deep into the body, retrieving cellular memory of a preferred, relaxed, balanced way of wellbeing. Results can be remarkable, even from the first treatment session; often only a few sessions are needed to correct the presenting problem.
There are frequent but very essential pauses throughout the session that allows the body time to respond and begin the healing process. The practitioner can target a specific problem or address the body as a whole.
Unlike many other hands-on therapies, the Bowen Technique does not use forceful manipulation. A unique skill of the Bowen practitioner 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 technique addresses not only the musculo-skeletal framework, but also the fascia, nerves and internal organs. The body’s integrated response improves circulation and lymphatic drainage and aids in the assimilation of nutrients and elimination of toxins.
Can the Bowen Technique help me?
The original Bowen Technique is extremely gentle and is considered appropriate for anyone from pregnant women to newborn babies, the frail and the elderly.
It can assist recovery from many conditions, from traumatic injury to chronic illness, depending upon each individual’s capacity to heal. Each person responds differently and at different rates. You will respond according to your body’s ability to heal.
The Bowen Technique addresses the entire body holistically. You will know after two or three treatment sessions whether or not this modality is helping you.
