The Gentle Art of Natural Healing
Discover how this revolutionary technique developed in Australia is helping people worldwide find relief from pain, stress, and chronic conditions through the power of gentle touch.
What is Bowen Therapy?
Bowen Therapy, also known as the Bowen Technique or Bowenwork, is a holistic, non-invasive therapy that was developed by Australian Tom Bowen in the 1950s. It involves gentle rolling movements over specific points on muscles, tendons, ligaments, and fascia.
The technique is based on the principle that the body has an innate ability to heal itself. By stimulating specific points, Bowen Therapy sends signals through the nervous system that help the body reset and rebalance, activating its natural healing mechanisms.
Unlike many other hands-on therapies, Bowen uses minimal intervention to achieve maximum effect. The therapist makes specific moves, then leaves the room for several minutes to allow the body to process and respond.
“The body knows how to heal itself. We just need to remind it.”
— Tom Bowen
How Bowen Therapy Works
Gentle Moves
The therapist performs precise, rolling movements over specific points on muscles, tendons, and fascia.
Strategic Pauses
Between sequences, the therapist pauses for 2-5 minutes, allowing your body to process and respond to the treatment.
Body Resets
Your nervous system shifts from 'fight or flight' to a parasympathetic state, activating natural healing processes.
