What is Bowen Therapy ?

BOWEN THERAPY consists of a series of precisely placed, soft tissue, "moves" that involve lightly 'rolling' across and gently 'plunking' various muscles and to a lesser extent, some tendons and ligaments. The motion is much the same as softly playing ('plunking') a violin, without the bow.

A BOWEN THERAPIST typically performs these very subtle and delicate "moves" using the pads of the finger tips and thumbs. Force is NOT applied. Undue force and pressure are not needed, indeed too much force would impede the success of Bowen Therapy. So much so, that the credo among Bowen Therapists is "less is more".

The general consensus among first time recipients of Bowen Therapy is... "how could something so gentle and non invasive, seemingly feather touch, achieve ANY results?". Skepticism is not uncommon. The results though, speak for themselves and converts to the efficacy of Bowen Therapy include many Doctors, Chiropractors, Osteopaths, Physiotherapists and Naturopaths. You got to experience it once and than you would believe it.

Because people typically haven't heard of Bowen Therapy, it is often difficult to grasp the concept of 'lightly rolling and gently plunking'. It may assist our understanding, to look at more common and familiar therapies and say.....

BOWEN THERAPY IS NOT:

Massage
Acupressure
Chiropractic
Energy work
Physiotherapy or Neuromuscular 're-education'
Trigger Point work
Fascia Release
Lymphatic Massage
Emotional Release Therapy
A religious, charismatic or spiritual technique
Simply put, BOWEN THERAPY is unlike anything else, when it comes to whole body safety, gentleness, effectiveness and results.
