Bowen Therapy


The Holistic approach to healing Georgie Skinner cert ECBS


Hippocrates once stated... “ the body heals itself....the physician is only nature’s assistant... the body must be treated as a whole - not just a series of parts...”


Bowen of Geelong, Victoria, Australia. In the early 70s Tom would often treat work colleagues using small, simple moves wherever they had an ache or pain. It is not certain how he came to have this remarkable gift but word of this new technique soon spread and before long Tom left his job at the cement works and committed himself to treating people as his fulltime career. Bowen therapy addresses the same conditions that are often treated by an Osteopath, Chiropractor or Physiotherapist. However Bowen is different from these forms of treatments. It is not a form of massage or manipulation, there is no force or high velocity adjustments to the body. Bowen therapy looks at the body as a whole and treats the whole body not just specific presentations. Bowen Therapy uses precise sets of rolling


moves made by the therapist using fingers and thumbs over muscle, tendon and soft tissue. These sets of moves are designed to stimulate the body enabling it to unblock, release and begin repair.


Some Common Conditions Brought To Bowen For Treatment Shoulder, back & neck pain, knee and ankle pain, wrist and elbow pain, muscular and skeletal problems, arthritic pain, sports injuries, migraine, asthma and Hay fever are just a few of the conditions which can be helped by Bowen Therapy. Bowen can be highly effective and a very gentle safe form of treatment which also makes it a suitable therapy during pregnancy, for infants and children.

Treatment Information


Treatments can be carried out in your home. The benefit of this is that you are much more relaxed, no clinical atmosphere, no issues with travelling, parking or public transport. Treatment times can be much more flexible, therefore less intrusive on your day.


Bowen uses a course of 3 treatments one week apart. Treatments last between 35 to 45 minutes, at a cost of £30.00 per session and can be given through light clothing. A noticeable response should be clear to the client within these sessions making Bowen a cost effective and rapid form of treatment.
