Bowen Therapy

Bowen Therapy is a gentle holistic healing system that was established in Australia during the 1960’s by Tom Bowen. It is now practiced worldwide.

Tom Bowen recognized that the underlying cause of many illnesses, pain and health problems could be found in the soft tissue, or fascia.

The unique moves Tom developed enabled the fascia to release, allowing body dysfunctions to be corrected and balance to be restored (homeostasis).

It is said that fascia is the largest sensory organ in the body.  Fascia is a specific type of connective tissue that runs through the entire body, lying around and through muscles, nerves, organs, lymph and blood vessels. Therefore dysfunctions in the fascia have an impact on the structures, muscles, nerves and organs of the body.

The Bowen moves send impulses to the brain via nerve pathways resulting in a deep sense of relaxation.
