Bowen Technique

Written by Alexandra Gilmartin

The Bowen Technique is a very gentle hands on treatment using soft tissue mobilisations.

It consists of a series of precise non-invasive ‘moves’ interspersed with compulsory time delays, which allow the body to adjust to the treatment.

The Bowen Therapy is based on the principle that the human body is capable of healing itself and you do not treat only the injured part, you treat the whole body. This holistic approach means that you can treat almost anything - there are no contra-indications to Bowen Therapy. There are no age restrictions to treatment and the Techniques can be applied through light clothing.

Response to treatment can be immediate, or it can be a few days later. Long-standing problems may require 2 or more treatments at weekly intervals.
