Bowen treats the whole body, therapists treat without reference to a specific disease and do not claim to cure, diagnose medical conditions or prescribe medication.
The practitioner uses fingers and thumbs on precise points of the body and a rolling action is applied over the soft tissue. This affects muscles, tendons, nerves and fascia (connective tissue). During the treatment there are intervals when the body is left to rest, this allows it to absorb the information given in the gentle moves. This allows for fine adjustments within the body to take place.
The experience of a treatment is gentle, subtle and very relaxing, which makes Bowen so unique. There is no manipulation or adjustment of hard tissue (bones) and no insertion of needles. For humans the treatment is carried out through light clothing and it is suitable for ANY age of person!!
