Bowen Therapy

Bowen therapy is a gentle and relaxing pain management treatment that balances the nervous system. It allows the body to reset, repair and heal through a series of rolling hand movements on specific connective tissue, muscles, and tendons.

Bowen therapy acts on the autonomic nervous system by inhibiting the sympathetic nervous system (fight-or-flight response) and activating the parasympathetic nervous system (rest-and-digest response). It is safe and can be done on anyone.

What Can Bowen Therapy Treat?

Bowen therapy is used to treat chronic pain caused by neurological or musculoskeletal disorders. Conditions Bowen therapy can treat include:

• Neck and back pain

• Chronic fatigue

• Post-concussion pain

• Sports injuries

• Sciatica

• TMJ syndrome

• Stress and anxiety

• Digestive issues

• Migraines

The Bowen technique promotes innate healing to address the underlying causes, not just the symptoms. This gentle treatment is safe for all patients seeking relief from chronic pain.
