Bowenwork was developed in Australia by Tom Bowen in the 1950's. Bowenwork consists fo a series of gentle, yet effective moves over neuromuscular junctions in the body. These moves help the nervous system to reestablish normal body rythms and to rebalance the body’s structure.
The process is very gentle and does not use undue force or pain. It has been shown to be effective for chronic pain and autoimmune disorders. Conditions such as back pain, TMJ, fibromyalgia, arthritis, and myofascial pain as well as other hand and upper extremity conditions have improved or resolved with Bowenwork.
A Bowenwork session involves one or more procedures, each of which consists of several gentle but purposeful moves that can be done through light clothing or directly on skin. Between moves there are pauses to allow the client’s body to begin responding. Sessions last from 30 to 45 minutes.
