Why choose Bowen Therapy as Your Treatment?

What is Bowen Therapy and what can a treatment do for you?

Bowen Therapy is also called BOWENWORK and was developed in the 1950's by the late Tom Bowen from Geelong, Victoria.

In 1974 Oswald Rentsch and his wife Elaine studied with Mr. Tom Bowen and began to teach the technique in 1986 and this is where it all started. All Bowen training is based on BOWTECH which is known as the the original Bowen Technique and has introduced and continues to bring the Bowen Technique to the world.

Bowenwork is different from all other conventional, alternative or natural "hands on" therapies.

Bowen Therapy is a gentle soft tissue and relaxation technique, with very subtle moves performed over specific locations of muscles, tendons and connective tissue on your body. These moves are then allowed to rest a few minutes to allow the body to integrate the effects.

The moves send messages deep into the body, retrieving the memory of a preferred, relaxed, balanced way of well-being. The impulse created by the Bowenwork stimulates a response throughout the muscle fascia that effects your nerves, the lymphatic system, organ function and your muscles and joints.

Bowenwork initiates a cascade of reactions throughout the body and the central nervous system to the brain, sending energetic impulses into specific areas of the body, similar to the ripple effect of a drop of water on the surface of a pond. Treatment may be from head to toe to align and re-balance your body.

Our aim as Bowen Therapists is to aid in your body’s natural ability to heal your muscles, joints and to help reset your immune system and also aid in your lymphatic drainage. We try not to cause pain or discomfort during any of the procedures.

Bowen Therapy may be performed through light, loose clothing, and is gentle enough so it can be used on anyone regardless of the persons health status or age.

Bowenwork is great for Colic and Asthma in babies too!
