bowen technique
The Bowen Technique is a system of muscle and soft tissue manipulation, developed in the late 1950s by Australian Tom Bowen, then recorded and widely taught by Oswald and Elaine Rentsch.
With the patient in a relaxed state, the practitioner feels for tension or vibration in the muscle, then uses simple, gentle movements of the tissue with the thumb and fingers which stimulate the body’s own healing process. The movements are very slight, working with a “less is more” principle, gentler manipulation having a greater affect on the injury.
Treatment usually consists of weekly sessions, which can take as little as 30 seconds or as much as 45 minutes. It is useful for pain relief, treatment of sports or work injuries, repetitive stress injuries and many other problems arising from or related to muscular tension, including asthma and migraines. It may also have a positive effect for muscular sclerosis and cerebral palsy patients, as well as emotional benefits.
