The
Bowen
Therapy
is
a
holistic
light
touch
therapy
that
allows
the
body
to
recharge
and
balance
itself. The
Bowen
Therapy
has
achieved
registered
status
with
the
Complementary
and
Natural
Healthcare
Council.
Tom
Bowen
started
the
therapy
in
Australia
in
the
1950’s,
and
though
he
only
shared
his
work
with
a
few
select
people, which has led to
it
spreading
across
the
globe.
The
Bowen
Therapy
consists
of
moves
across
soft
tissue.
The
fingers
and
thumb
apply
gentle
pressure
to
effect
movement
of
the
tissue.
The
moves
can
be
performed
through
light
clothing.
A
unique
feature
of
the
treatment
is
the
pauses
between
each
series
of
moves,
which
gives
the
body
time
to
realign
itself.
Bowen
is
difficult
to
describe,
it
really
needs
to
be
experienced
to
appreciate
the
dramatic
and
relaxing
effect
the
treatment
can
have
on
your
body.
Because
it
only
involves
light
touch
it
is
a
safe
and
effective
therapy
for
every
age
group
from
0
to
100! and even pregnant Mothers.
I
have
been
a
Bowen
Therapist
for
twelve
years.
Before
becoming
a
therapist
I
had
spent
twenty-five
years
in
the
motor
trade.
My
mother
was
a Reflexologist and a recognised Complementary therapist,
and
I
accompanied
her
to
a
health
show
where
I
saw
the
Bowen
Therapy
being
demonstrated.
I
had
a
treatment
which
made
me
feel
wonderful
and
less
stressed,
and
suddenly
I
was
on
my
way
to
becoming
a
therapist!
I
started
the
Bowen
training
course
in
February
of
1999
and
completed
the
course
at
the
end
of
the
year.
I
now
attend
regular
courses
to
ensure
that
I
continue
to
widen
my
knowledge
and
understanding
of
this
truly
remarkable
therapy.
