What is the Bowen Technique?
Bowen Technique is an holistic therapy which affects the body in different ways which promotes healing, pain relief and recovery of energy. Experience of the treatment is gentle, subtle and relaxing. Osteopaths, chiropractors, sports therapists and physiotherapists are among the many qualified practitioners who use the Bowen Technique are amazed at the effectiveness of this simple and gentle form of `hands on` therapy. It is advisable to have at least three Bowen sessions with appointments spaced out between seven to 10 days (seven days being the optimum time) after which, the client will be assessed by the practioner to determine if the client would benefit from more Bowen sessions.
What does a Bowen treatment involve?
At your first session a medical history will be taken which will last approximately 15 minutes or longer depending on your medical history. A Bowen treatment will take approximately 45 minutes. Most of the work can be performed through lightweight clothing. Two or three treatments at regular intervals are sufficient to achieve lasting relief from even long standing pain, although further treatments may sometimes be required. To receive maximum benefit whilst receiving Bowen it is recommended that other physical therapies are not mixed i.e. massage, reflexology, physiotherapy, etc.
How does it work?
Bowen Technique is not a form of massage, it treats the whole person. The practitioner uses thumbs and fingers making rolling type movements which activate specific muscles, soft tissue and energy within the body. During treatment there are periods when the client is left resting for a few moments allowing the body to rebalance itself and commence the healing process.

GIFT VOUCHERS ARE AVAILABLE ON REQUEST
CLIENT TESTIMONIAL: Just a quick note to thank you so much for sorting me out yesterday - it was brilliant that you had that cancelled appointment available just when I needed it.
I am in absolute awe of what you have done. Having been in serious trouble with my back yesterday, I have not a trace of pain today and apart from a little stiffness here and there, my movements are quite unrestricted and I have no discomfort whatever.
It is quite extraordinary and simply confirms what I have read in a number of places about the effectiveness of the Bowen Technique. I wish I had taken the plunge to give it a try years ago, instead of plodding on with conventional physio.
In case you hadn't guessed by now (!) I am completely sold on it, and I look forward to the further appointment next Friday as agreed.
Many many thanks. Mr.C W - Jordans, Bucks.
