Bowen Therapy
A gentle, effective approach to restoring balance and reducing pain

Bowen Therapy is a hands-on technique that uses precise, gentle movements over muscles, tendons and fascia to stimulate the body's natural healing response. 

Unlike traditional massage, Bowen works with the nervous system, often creating lasting results with minimal pressure. Sessions are relaxing, fully clothed and tailored to your individual needs.

Exclusive Services

bowen therapy helps the whole body

Bowen is an amazing form of holistic bodywork! With gentle rolling movements performed over specific structures (muscles, tendons, ligaments etc.) to release adhesions and stiffness in the fascia which creates signals sent to the autonomic nervous system to help the body switch to reset and repair from the flight or flight response. The intricate messages continue their work for several days and most people start seeing results within 1-3 sessions, but many people like to return for its re-balancing and health benefits. People with chronic conditions may need lengthier treatment.

 

Tom Bowen of Geelong, Australia pioneered this technique in the 1950’s and is now practiced world wide and partnered with the American Occupational Therapy Association, California Board of Registered Nurses, National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork and the Oregon Board of Naturopathic Medicine.
