The BOWEN TECHNIQUE was developed by the late Thomas Ambrose Bowen of Australia. It was designed with simplicity but the effects are incredibly powerful.  Our bodies get out-of-balance , whether it's due to injuries, surgeries, over use etc. and we begin to have problems with various functions. Bowen is known for rebalancing the body and  resetting the natural healing mechanisms in the body. Bowen is one bodywork modality which can be performed on anyone at any age; however, there are certain "moves" that cannot be done when certain conditions exist, such as pregnancy, TMJ surgery at the condyles and breast implants.

A Bowen Session: a session consists of a series of gentle moves done over muscles, tendons and fascia. These "moves" trigger the nerve plexus in the soft tissue and send a message throughout the nervous system. This message says "relax & unwind" allowing the contracted soft tissue to lengthen/expand, thereby decreasing tension & pain. Between each group of moves a 2 minute or longer wait is necessary in order for the "message" to travel the complete nervous system loop. A session can take 45 to 75 minutes.  

Effects of Bowen:  Many practitioners see some amazing results with clients. Most complaints are treated in a short time period. Many clients report relief after 1 session. Musculoskeletal  symptoms seem to improve quickly, while neurological symptoms improve more slowly.
