Bowen Therapy, the gentle healer

Bowen Therapy is a healing modality that uses the body's own life force to "do its job better". The technique involves a series of small, non-invasive moves over muscles and tendons using fingers and thumbs only, and very light pressure. Interacting with the body's energy patterns, it sets up a response that balances and renews - effectively re-setting the muscles.

With each move, Bowen works on many levels at once (surface fascia, deep muscles, organs and meridians), making it a truly holistic treatment. It is a simple, gentle, yet POWERFUL healing tool that encourages the body, mind and spirit to repair itself.

Originally developed for humans in the 1950s, by Tom Bowen in Geelong Victoria, the technique was used exclusively by him in his healing practice until his death. Some time after this, his assistants developed Bowen Therapy into a teachable format that could be introduced to the world. Having been taught for just over 20 years, it has reached more than 30 countries, and has been adapted to treat equines and all small animals.

The body is an amazing entity, with an extraordinary capacity to self-heal. From the beginning of its life, each cell knows what its job is and continues doing that for the rest of its life. Through injury and build up of toxins, or the normal stress of life, the body sometimes slows down in its own ability to sort things out. Bowen works directly on the body's own signals from cell to brain, helping to restore this natural healing process.

Many problems can be painlessly resolved when the body gets help and encouragement from the right therapy.

Bowen is effective for:

Muscle spasm and strain, both recent and long-term
Pelvic alignment
Organ function
Immune disorders
Respiratory conditions
Stress
... And so much more!

Bowen can assist most all functions of the body to rebalance and renew.

At Animal Bowen Australia, we take a natural and holistic approach to healing and offer a range of therapies, advice and support individually tailored to address your, or your animal's, health issues. We understand that no two bodies are the same and that no two treatments should necessarily be the same for what appears to be the same problem.

Bowen is not a "cure all" - but it helps all.
