Bowen Therapy (Bowtech)

This is a unique form of neuromuscular re-patterning, which works primarily through the nervous system on both structural and energetic levels. The technique is gentle and non-invasive, and can be performed through clothing.  Since 1986, when Oswald and Elaine Rentsch established the Bowen Therapy Academy of Australia, over 14,000 people have taken Bowtech training worldwide, with 70 registered instructors in 16 countries. There are 12 countries with Bowen associations affiliated to the Bowen Therapy Academy of Australia.

Bowen Therapy is appropriate for everyone, from the highly trained athlete to newborns, pregnant women, elderly, and the chronically ill. Bowen has been successful in treating musculoskeletal problems, such as back and neck pain, scoliosis, sporting injuries, TMJ alignment, and carpal tunnel syndrome. It is also renowned for its effectiveness with internal conditions, such as migraines, digestive and elimination complaints, colic in babies, and respiratory problems, including asthma.

A Bowen treatment consists of gentle, rolling movements. These stimulations activate a systematic response so powerful that a pause of a few minutes is observed to allow them to be integrated. A pattern of movements and pauses continues throughout the treatment. The rhythm is soothing and most patients fall asleep at least once during the session. Benefits are usually apparent within two sessions, even when longstanding conditions are being treated. Bowen results are lasting and profound.
