THE BOWEN TECHNIQUE encourages the body to realign itself; there is no manipulation or adjustment of hard tissue and no force is used or needed.

COMMON PROBLEMS TREATED INCLUDE back and neck pain, knee problems, sports injuries, RSI, frozen shoulder, tennis elbow, gynaecological issues and respiratory conditions.
Chronic fatigue, depression, fibromyalgia, hayfever, headache, kidney problems, problems requiring lymphatic drainage, migraine and stress related issues have responded favourably to The Bowen Technique.

OTHER CLINICAL OBSERVATIONS include acute and chronic lower back pain, frozen shoulder, TMJ discomfort and dysfunction, and Tic Douloureux. Sports and work-related symptoms which have improved following Bowen work include: runner’s knee, tennis elbow, hamstring and rotator cuff injuries. There are specific sets of moves that were developed by Mr Bowen which address the muscles and connective tissue in each of these areas. Other incidental symptoms that have shown improvement with Bowen work include gastro-intestinal reflux, sinus congestion and associated headache pain and broncho-constriction secondary to allergic response or reactive asthma.

IT IS GENERALLY REPORTED that after treatment there is an increased ability to focus, an elevation of mood,  sleep quality improvement, and improved coping skills. It has been observed by clinical study that the use of the technique on students reduced tension, fatigue, anger, depression and confusion. The affects of Bowen Therapy have been described as the body’s return to a more balanced state of equilibrium.
It is generally regarded as safe and effective for people of all ages.

‘EXPERIENCED BOWEN PRACTITIONERS recognise that the technique appears to have a profound effect on the so called mind/body connection in persons undergoing a Bowen treatment for the first time’.                                                         www.thebowentechnique.com                                                     
‘AS MOST PEOPLE TODAY are not in perfect health and the Bowen technique is reputed to beneficially help a wide assortment of conditions.’

IT HAS BEEN SUGGESTED that the Bowen Technique may introduce specific harmonic frequencies to the body systems. Since sound travels through all substances this may explain how the Bowen Technique affects so many areas of the body. Bowen Therapy compliments many other traditional as well as non-traditional treatment modalities. Sound and music have been used in healing rituals in all of the world’s cultures. In ancient Greece, the relationship between healing and harmonic vibration was the foundation of a school of healing established by Pythagoras.   ( www.thebowentechnique.com)
