Introduction to Bowen Therapy
|
Bowen therapy (also known as Neurostructural Integration Technique) is a gentle soft tissue manipulation that promotes the body to heal itself. Here are some interesting facts about Bowen Therapy:
- It is completely non-invasive
- It was created by Tom Bowen in Australia and was only recently brought to the US
- It is a series of short movements that are carried out over a period of 45-60 minutes with rest intervals
- It is so gentle, that it can be performed immediately after an injury
This video provides a great overview. Having lived my whole life with back pain, I'm a huge fan of Bowen and count my blessings that I can now live pain-free. |

My Own Success
|
I have had amazing success with Bowen Therapy. I have suffered with
back pain my whole life. Exercise is the only thing that has kept me from being immobilized.
Massage was always wonderful for a day or two, but had no lasting effects. Bowen has made a
huge difference.
I also recently suffered from an odd pain in the back of my
knee. There was nothing physically wrong with the knee, but I was in constant pain. I reached a point where could hardly drive to work in traffic because of the pain. It took four
full Bowen sessions, but the pain has now been completely gone for over two years!
My husband suffers from occasional bouts of sciatica. Anyone who has suffered this type of pain understands that they are completely incapacitated. When this happens to him now, I perform the very basic maneuvers on him and it takes him 1-3 days to recover. Before we discovered Bowen, he would be down for weeks. I'm sure he would recover quicker if he went to a professional therapist (as I do) but what can you do?
