Bowen Therapy (also known as Bowen Technique) is based on the work of Australian therapist Tom Bowen (1916–1982).
It is a hands-on soft tissue remedial therapy in which the practitioner uses fingers and thumbs to make gentle movements over muscles, tendons, ligaments and fascia. Short pauses are a characteristic part of a session. You usually lie on a treatment table, and the work can take place through light, loose clothing.
My Assessment-led Approach
We begin by discussing what brings you to the clinic, your health history and your everyday activities. I use screening procedures from my assessment-led Bowen training to inform the areas and sequences of work proposed for the session.
I explain the approach and discuss your goals and preferences before beginning. We review your experience at subsequent appointments and decide together whether to continue or adapt the plan.
My original training was with BowTech. I have undertaken further training with Graham Pennington and Phil Stewart, including the Assessment Led Bowen Training advanced diploma course.
Relaxation and General Well-being
Bowen can help with relaxation, a sense of well-being and restful sleep, offering a break from everyday stresses.
Please seek medical advice about symptoms that concern you and continue any care recommended by your healthcare team.
