What is Bowen Therapy?

The Gentle Healing Technique

Bowen Therapeutic Technique (Bowen Therapy) is a dynamic system of muscle and connective tissue therapy that encourages the body to right itself. This technique involves a gentle roll over the muscle. By using a set system of these small moves from the base of the neck to the tips of the toes, the therapist stimulates the body’s innate healing system to realign and re-balance.

Bowen Therapeutic Technique (Bowen Therapy) is completely safe for the newborn baby to the frail and elderly. It is gentle, fast and an effective way to treat health concerns from sporting injuries to pain, stress and discomfort. Bowen Therapy stimulates the patient’s musculoskeletal system into realigning itself.

The beauty of Bowen Therapy is that it will not interfere and works well with all medication and/or dietary supplements and is gentle but powerful. A treatment takes about one hour.

What is Bowen Therapy?: Why does Bowen Therapy not combine with any other modality?

Ben Setter — Tue, 15 May 2012 23:37:24 +0000

One of the most frequently asked questions by both Clients and Professionals in Townsville alike is:

Why does Bowen Therapy not combine with any other modality?

Tom Bowen demonstrated that Bowen Therapy is less effective, or will cease to function at all, if any other modality was combined with his technique. This has been shown to be true when my own clients have chosen to ignore this and have, for example, had a massage after having received a Bowen Therapy treatment. The results of that massage has stopped the Bowen therapy. This though, has sadly not stopped others from attempting to combine Bowen therapy with other modalities, leading to a lot of misinformation about Bowen Therapy and it’s effectiveness as a treatment.

When searching for Bowen Therapy in Townsville Queensland Australia be sure that you are receiving Bowen Technique and not a combination Technique.

This question is the most asked question of my professional life. So let us start with the basic’s of this remarkable therapy.

A Bowen Therapist rolls the muscles to stimulate the nerves underneath. In a set system of these moves, we get the body to respond and realign. In essence we are getting the human body to work for itself. A Bowen Therapy treatment takes approximately 1 hour of time. Unlike other modalities a Bowen Practitioner does a set amount of moves and then leaves the client for a minimum of 2 minutes. The practitioner then return’s to continue the treatment. This ‘leaving’ the client between moves has the benefit of allowing the body time to respond to the moves performed. It is what makes Bowen Therapy unique in this world.

Bowen Therapy is dynamic in it’s ability to bring pain relief for injuries.

Bowen Therapy is gentle in draining lymphatic area’s.

Bowen Therapy is remarkable in the relief of asthma symptoms.

Bowen Therapy is fantastic in it’s ability to bring the body into balance!

“Tom Bowen’s Technique Modality was named in his honour ‘Bowen Therapy‘ years after his death in 1982.”
“Tom Bowen never used his Technique in combination with any other modality because it was clear that the work became less effective or ceased to function at all.”
“Tom Bowen trained only ‘six men’ in his modality. Mr Ossie Rentsch the founder of the Bowen Therapy Academy of Australia (Bowtech) is one of these six. Sadly, at this time none of these men reside in Townsville Australia.”
“Everyone is better with Tom Bowen’s Therapy in it’s original form.”

Bowen Bits: Stress and Vitamin B

Ben Setter — Fri, 27 Apr 2012 06:48:11 +0000

B-group vitamins are a group of 8 vitamins that the body needs in small doses but are vital for metabolic processes such as energy production, red blood cell synthesis, nerve function and brain processes. When a body has had a stress response, the body has increased its energy consumption and thus will increase its use of Vitamin B.

Most Vitamins within this group cannot be stored by the body as they are water soluble and so must be consumed regularly as part of a nutritious and well balanced diet. They are also easily destroyed through food processing, alcohol and extended cooking.

Good sources of Vitamin B include wholemeal cereal grains, sesame seeds, legumes, wheatgerm, nuts, yeast, pork, milk, yoghurt, cottage cheese, egg, leafy green vegetables, liver, kidney, fish, poultry, red meats, mushrooms, cauliflower and citrus fruits.

Symptoms of Vitamin B deficiency can include irritability, decreased coordination, lethargy, fatigue, muscle weakness, anxiety, intestinal upset and muscle pain. If you have concerns that you may have a vitamin deficiency, these deficiencies must be diagnosed by a doctor. Vitamin supplements can be taken as a supplement for a balanced diet and should only be taken as directed by the manufacturer on the side of the bottle or by dieticians or accredited natural therapists.
