Bowen Technique, A Gentle Healing Therapy.The Bowen Technique was developed in Australia by Tom Bowen in the mid '50s, he treated over 13,000 patients per year with an 80-90% success rate. The Bowen Technique also know as Bowen Therapy is a remarkable yet gentle body therapy. It is an holistic body therapy that balances and integrates all the physical and energetic systems, releasing blockages to promote a natural state of perfect health. The Therapy is a simple but effective gentle, hands on, non-invasive, body balancing system, encouraging the body to realign and heal itself. Through gentle moves on muscles, tendons, ligaments and soft tissue at a series of key points on the body, it stimulates energy flow that releases tension, strains and blockages, helping the body's own resources to naturally re-balance and heal itself. The Bowen Technique can also help with negative emotions, improve physical and mental performance and also improve sleep. The therapy can be beneficial for any of the health issues below and can help to improve the quality of life for people with chronic illness or degenerative disease, aid recovery time from surgery or illness and is also useful for relaxation and alleviating stress. The treatment is gentle, non-invasive, relaxing and safe and suitable for nearly all ages and conditions. Sessions are usually carried out on a treatment couch but can be done effectively in a seated position. The therapy can be performed through light clothing with each session lasting about 45 minutes. In many cases long standing pain can be relieved in 3-5 sessions, although further treatments may be required in some cases.
