Try Bowen Therapy to get immediate relief from back pain

 Bowen, Bowen therapy -

Most of us experience back pain at some or other time in our lives. Sedentary lifestyles that involve sitting in front of a computer for eight or more hours a day are to blame for most of our back pains. And if your back gets injured once, it is very difficult to cure it completely: a slight pain always remains and a slightest jerk or overstretching can bring the old pain back.

If you are suffering from a chronic or acute back pain, the worst thing you can do is take painkillers—they do not kill the pain, they just numb it. Other therapies can give some relief over a long period of time, but cannot cure the pain completely. Your best bet in case of back pain due to bad posture or injury is to visit the nearest Bowen therapist.

Bowen therapy, which involves only a gentle touch of the fingers on particular points, gives complete relief from back pain almost immediately. You would need 2–3 sittings, each lasting 30–45 minutes, but most people feel a miraculous relief from pain by the end of their very first sitting. 

The gentle and precise rolling moves of the Bowen therapist’s fingers over different points all over your back, hamstring, shoulders, buttocks, and knees generate healthy responses from the body. This holistic approach helps your body get in tune with itself and destroys the root cause of your back pain and.

You don’t have to learn to live with your back pain; 2–3 sittings of Bowen therapy can free you from it.

Bowen Therapy

The Bowen Technique is unlike any other form of hands-on therapy. There is no pulling or cracking of joints, no insertion of needles and no manipulation. The technique consists of a sequence of very precise and gentle moves over muscles and soft tissue interspersed with periods of rest in order for the treatment to be absorbed. The treatment entails no searching consultation as it is holistic (treats the whole body) and it is generally a pleasant and relaxing experience with no known adverse side effects.



The human immune system is a complex and wonderful mechanism that has evolved over millions of years. It enables the body to fight injury and invading infections and viruses with an awesome array of natural in-built healing aids. Sadly, due to this high tech. world and the stresses that come with it, we now often have very complex health problems which are seemingly beyond our healing processes.

Treatment using the Bowen Technique aims to support and boost the natural healing capabilities of the body. Bowen therapists believe that the body has the ability to adjust, adapt and heal itself.

The Bowen Technique was developed by Tom Bowen (1916-1982) Geelong, Australia. He had an uncanny ability to read bodies and correct and adjust abnormalities which caused pain. The therapy was first brought to England in 1993.

Tom Bowen developed the technique over many years and there are many theories as to how it works. He said that it was the movement of bad energy coupled with the increased flow of blood and lymphatic drainage that caused the often spectacular return to full health.

When a survey was done on alternative medicine by the Victoria State Government in the early '70s it was established that Tom Bowen was actually treating in excess of 250 patients a week (13000 a year). This with a success rate of about 88% after only two or three treatments.

Tom Bowen was modest about his work and never advertised.



Research scientists are eager to discover the secrets of this most dramatic healing phenomena and your doctor may be unable to tell you much about Bowen Therapy.

The treatment takes about three quarters of an hour and in some cases some relief from pain can be experienced on the first visit. Many people state that over the next 3-4 days they experience reactions as the body accepts the therapy and realigns itself. The healing process continues for about seven days until treatment is continued. Long term relief from chronic and acute pain can often be achieved in three or four visits.

Many patients (particularly sportsmen) have a Bowen treatment on a regular basis in order to maintain good performance.

Bowen Massage Therapy

Benefits of Bowen Massage Therapy and other Massage in General.
Bowen is more traditional way of curing pain and stress but fundamentals are same.

Massage is perhaps one of the oldest healing traditions and many cultures – including the Ancient Greeks, Egyptians, Chinese and Indians – were convinced of the therapeutic properties of massage and used it to treat a variety of ailments. Most people would agree a massage makes them feel good.

Massage has benefits for the body, mind and soul.

•Body: massage therapy is designed to reduce muscle tension, increase flexibility, improve blood flow, assist in the movement of lymph throughout the body thus removing toxins and boosting the immune system. It increases the flow of oxygen and nutrients to cells and stimulates the release of endorphins – the body’s natural painkiller.
•Mind: massage therapy provides a relaxed state of alertness, reduces mental stress and enhances capacity for calm thinking and creativity.
•Soul: massage therapy satisfies the need for caring and nurturing touch, creates a feeling of well being and reduces anxiety levels


Massage works by soothing soft tissue and encouraging relaxation and is especially effective in treating ‘vicious cycle’ complaints. For instance, a tension headache is often self-sustaining because the pain makes the sufferer clench the affected muscles even harder. This, in turn, creates more pain. A thorough neck and shoulder massage can release muscle tension and break the pain cycle.

Modern studies have shown that massage can be used to successfully treat a variety of disorders, including:

•Anxiety
•Arthritis
•Neck and/or back pain
•Depression
•Headaches
•Stress
•Muscle soreness
•Sports injuries
•Pregnancy pain
Many employers are incorporating workplace massage therapy as part of employee health and wellbeing programs and have found it helps improve moral and lowers absenteeism
