Bowenwork is a gentle and effective holistic manual therapy
that balances tension patterns in the body, resulting in deep relaxation and relief from acute and chronic ailments. It is a non-invasive form of bodywork, developed by the late Tom Bowen in Geelong, Australia. Bowenwork renews the body’s capacity for self-healing and influences the physical, mental, emotional and energetic levels, increasing one’s vitality and wellbeing.
Bowenwork is a uniquely special healing therapy, unlike any other, because it cooperates with the body’s autonomic nervous system. The autonomic nervous system, or ANS, controls the majority of bodily fucntions, without the conscious mind’s awareness. Blood circulation, breathing, digestion, growth, body temperature and the proper funcioning of all the other body systems and processes are under the control of the ANS and require no thought or intervention.
Bowenwork utilizes the ANS relationship of body and nervous system to reset the energetic connections and bring about a healing response, resulting in deep relaxation and mind-body equilibrium. This subtle approach allows Bowenwork to address acute and chronic conditions which have not responded to other therapies.

Bowenwork is effective
Bowenwork can help in many conditions, because it acts on the body as a whole, affecting not only the musculoskeletal framework, but also the fascia, nerves and internal organs.
