The Bowen technique is not easily described
by comparing it with other modalities.
It is an entirely unique system of neuromuscular repatterning that works primarily through the nervous system, affecting both structural and energetic levels.

It’s a form of bodywork, but it’s not massage.
Some of the moves Bowen utilises, are acupuncture points, but it uses no needles. Bowen can stimulate lymphatic release, but it’s not lymphatic drainage. While the comparisons are endless, Bowen therapy stands alone as an entirely unique system.

Although Bowen therapy is a tool for treating ailments and injuries, many healthy people seek treatment to maintain balance within their body and to keep a sense of well-being.
Casualties of sports injuries and accidents have found Bowen Therapy very helpful as a remedial therapy during their recovery. Bowen improves rehabilitation time regardless of when the injury occurred.
