The Blue Wren Project - The Bowen Technique

The Bowen Technique

What is it?

A gentle, very effective, remedial and holistic therapy, which uses light rolling-type movements at particular locations on the body.

Movements are made on soft tissue only (not on bones) and do not involve forceful moves of any kind. No oils or creams are used.

Bowen is relaxing to receive, and highly effective.

What is it good for?

A wide spectrum of health problems have been found to respond favourably this gentle therapy, including:

Joint and muscle problems, for example: back-ache, neck pain, "frozen shoulder”, sports injuries.
Respiratory problems including asthma, “chestiness”.
Digestive disorders, including irritable bowel, heartburn etc.
Hormonal problems such as period problems, menopausal symptoms, prostate discomfort.
Childhood and infant problems such as colic, poor sleep patterns, poor concentration.
Allergic conditions such as hay-fever.
Headaches including migraines.
Catarrhal conditions such as sinus problems and glue ear.
Stress-related conditions of all kinds.
Chronic conditions requiring pain management.

Remember, these are just examples…Bowen treats you, not just your symptoms!

Who might benefit?

Everyone! From tinies to the frail or elderly. Bowen is considered suitable for all ages.

How effective is it?

Very! Some 8 or 9 people out of every 10 respond well to Bowen.

How many treatments are involved?

Within 2 or 3 treatments we will be able to see if things are changing…and that may well be all you need for straightforward problems.

For complex or long-standing conditions we might need to consider further sessions or “maintenance” treatment. Individual cases are all different.

Please note

Unlike many other treatments, Bowen treatment is not given on a “one-off” basis except in emergencies. If you are booking treatments, two treatments are the minimum requirement in the first instance.
