Bowen Therapy is a very simple and dynamic procedure utilising a “cross-fibre muscle release technique” which accesses the bodies ability to heal itself and realign the body to its optimum ability. Basically, it brings your body back to balance by remembering your old body memory – the one that used to be pain-free and mobile.
Bowen Therapy is a very solid and physical practice of pain management practised worldwide applying small, specific manipulations to the muscles and tendons.
It is not considered massage and can be done through light clothing, there are regular pauses between muscle manipulations to enable the body time to reset and heal itself – these are very important for your body to heal.
The way a person relaxes into the treatment, breathes deeply and allows the body to readjust itself to a more balanced state is something quite unique in the bodywork world.
I have found that gentle exercises aids the healing process and help improve the body memory, I call these exercises ‘mini Bowens’ because they are very important and effective when used in conjunction with the treatment. There are a few important rules to stick by, these rules are essential to ensure the treatment is given the best chance possible.

Destress and Balance Your Mind and Body
Pregnancy
Bowen Therapy has been shown to alleviate pain and discomfort that is experienced during pregnancy.
The gentle cross-fibre muscle manipulations gently ease the body into a state of deep relaxation and at times a feeling of weightlessness. Bowen Therapy helps the body to keep its correct alignment and also relaxes the pelvic floor and diaphragm to allow more room for the baby to grow, thereby preventing the pain and pressure often experienced during those last few months.
Anxiety and Depression
There are many different types of anxiety, depression and stress, Bowen therapy can help you understand that you don’t need to feel that way, there is a different – more healthy way – to cope and it gives you a window of opportunity to change the way you are thinking and access your own intrinsic intelligence to heal yourself on many different levels.
What to Expect during a Bowen Session
How it starts….
We always start with you lying on your stomach ensuring you are as comfortable as possible.
And because the whole idea of Bowen Therapy is to balance you from top to bottom I always start at your hips. I’ve found that when the lower body is sitting nicely the upper body has a chance to rebalance itself correctly as well.
When we are ‘out of balance’ the entire body just doesn’t work well read more….
