What is Bowen Therapy & How safe is it?
Bowen Therapy is a gentle manual therapy, in which subtle but precise moves are preformed over the muscles and connective tissues. You cannot affect one part of the body without affecting something else. Bowen Therapy is completely non invasive! It is safe for everyone from newborns to the elderly including expectant mother.
How does Bowen Therapy work?
The connective tissue that surrounds every muscle, tendon, ligament and organ, blends into the connective tissue of another. Once the muscle tissues are activated the body sends neurological impulses to the brain, which in return relax the muscles and the nerves that are not working properly.

How does Bowen Therapy differ from other therapies?
- Bowen is not Chiropractic. There is no manipulation of your joints or bone structure, making it completely non invasive.
- Bowen is not Massage Therapy. There is no deep or prolonged contact with muscle tissues – however, muscle tensions and strains are relieved and normal lymphatic flow is restored.
- Bowen is not Acupressure. Although some traditional acupoints are included in the sequences, they are not addressed or organized in anything resembling Chinese medical theory.
- There is no heavy probing of fascia or connective tissue as in Rolfing or deep-tissue work – however, fascia re-hydrates, adhesions release and scar tissue softens and shrinks.
- Bowen is not an Emotional Release Modality. There is no strategic ‘duress’ or invoking of emotional content as in “mind-body” therapies – however, internal psychological shifts are very common.
- Bowen is not Energy Work. There is no redirecting of energies, however nearly everyone reports a pleasant trance, and a profound sense of well-being and ease.
