Human Bowen Therapy

Gentle Treatment for a wide range of conditions.

"Quite simply one of the most straightforward and effective 'hands-on' therapies available"

Human Bowen

 

The Bowen therapist will take a medical history from the client and discuss the nature of the current problems. A treatment takes about 45 minutes but appointment are an hour long to allow time to discuss the presenting issues.
 
Using only fingers and thumbs, the Bowen therapist makes gentle rolling type movements at precise points over muscles, ligaments and soft tissue interspersed with periods of rest. As the treatment is so gentle it can be used on any age of person. The moves are normally done directly on the skin but can be performed through light clothing if that is preferred. Many people can experience dramatic improvements after just one session and conditions can often clear with only 3 or 4 treatments. We always treat the whole body regardless of the presenting symptoms as the main area of pain could be from compensating and not be the actual initial problem.

Presenting problems helped with Bowen:

Back and neck pain / sciatica / frozen shoulder / tennis elbow / sports injuries / hamstring strain / leg length differences / tilted pelvis / pain management / Asthma and many more.

Testimonials

I returned from cricket practice, with impaired movement, to be greeted by my wife saying, “you look really weird!” Looking in the mirror, I noticed that I was completely wonky – my hips and legs were completely misaligned, causing my shoulders to slope. A painful, sleepless night followed. In the morning my wife and recommended Emma and the Bowen Technique. She had previously been treated my Emma for her lower back pain, where Osteopathy had failed. After just one treatment Emma straightened me out, and explained how a history of bad posture and adjustment relating to a bad knee may have caused a misalignment. Thanks to a second follow–up appointment I was back playing cricket within two weeks. I now have a six weekly ‘service’ to keep me on the straight and narrow! I strongly recommend Emma and The Bowen Technique for painful Musculoskeletal problems and for routine maintenance too. Toby - Marden
