Bowen Technique

The Bowen technique was originally developed by the Australian therapist Thomas A. Bowen in the 1950s and 60s, and has helped many people suffering from acute and chronic back, shoulder and neck pain, sciatica, frozen shoulder, sports and work-related injuries, "RSI" and many other aches, pains and ailments.

It has been found to be highly beneficial for the treatment of stress, anxiety, and exhaustion. Those with M.E./chronic fatigue, migraines, irregular and painful periods, indigestion, asthma, insomnia, thyroid problems and allergies can also benefit.

 

Bowen technique is offered by Richard Scott Ph.D. BSc. BTAA.

How does Bowen work?

Bowen therapy helps to stimulate and accelerate the body's own healing responses. It encourages muscles and tendons to release tension and thus enables skeletal readjustment. It has regenerative effects on the immune and hormonal systems, and can have very positive effects on many aspects of an individual's health and wellbeing.

Who can benefit?

Anyone. Bowen is good for every body. People of any age, in any state of health can benefit from Bowen treatment, for example:

· If you are suffering from acute sports or work related injuries.

· If you have chronic health problems.

· Athletes, performers and musicians with injuries, or who want to gain a competitive "edge".

· Individuals undergoing medical or homeopathic treatment.

· If you are in good health but would like help to relax more and sleep better.

This is a powerful and effective therapy, offering gentle alleviation of:

Shoulder, Neck and Back Pain

Sciatica, RSI, Migraines

Exhaustion, Stress, Insomnia.

What happens in a session?

After speaking with you and taking your case history Richard employs corrective muscle release techniques, encouraging muscular and skeletal alignment, while you relax on a treatment couch or chair. The treatments are light, gentle and extremely precise. They can be made on your skin or through your clothing. There are frequent pauses within the treatment session which gives your body the time it needs to respond and to benefit.

The first treatment is one hour, subsequent treatments are 45 minutes.
