Bowen Therapy is a holistic form of treatment, addressing the body as a whole. It is a gentle yet dynamic system of muscle and connective tissue therapy.  It uses a series of gentle rolling connective tissue manipulative procedures which realign the body, as well as stimulating and balancing energy flows.  Bowen Therapy attempts to treat not only symptoms, but the underlying cause of the disease, affecting the physical, chemical, emotional and mental aspects of the patient.

The treatment session usually lasts 45 min to 1 hour.  It is recommended to have 3-5 treatments, with weekly intervals to achieve lasting results.
