Bowen Therapy utilises a dynamic system of muscle and connective tissue technique that has been used successfully to treat people suffering from a variety of illnesses. Developed by the late Tom Bowen in Australia, this light touch, holistic therapy consists of a series of gentle moves with pauses in between of approximately two minutes to allow the body to respond. The moves are light but precise and can be done through light clothing.

Through the gentle rolling of muscles, the fascia - thin, tough translucent sheets of fibrous material that envelop almost all structures in the body – is activated, sending signals to the brain, which stimulates the body’s resources to heal itself.

Bowen therapy is safe to use on anyone from babies to the elderly and can produce lasting relief from pain and discomfort. Three sessions may be all that is required for most conditions. A session normally lasts about 40 minutes and frequently results in a deep sense of overall relaxation.
