The Bowen Technique (Bowtech or Bowenwork) is a
dynamic system of muscle and connective tissue therapy that was
developed by Thomas Ambrose Bowen of Australia in the 1960s and 1970s.
Sometimes called the ‘homeopathy of bodywork’ utilizes small but
measured inputs to the body stimulating the body to heal itself, often
profoundly. This hands-on, light-touch body therapy consists of gentle
rolling movements over muscle bellies and tendons to stimulate the
body’s own healing mechanisms. Originally intended to help people
suffering from muscular-skeletal problems, Bowen Technique has also been
successful with many other conditions, including asthma and respiratory
ailments in children and pre-teens. Bowtech offers profound stress
relief by shifting the body from the fight, flight or freeze mode of the
autonomic nervous system. |
