It is a non-invasive,
holistic therapy consisting of a sequence of gentle moves over muscles
and soft tissue, interspersed with periods of rest. Practitioners are
constantly surprised at the effectiveness of the therapy.
A treatment usually lasts
about 45 minutes and can be applied through light clothing. It is
recommended that in order to obtain the full benefit, other
‘hands-on’ therapies are not applied less than 7 days
before or after Bowen as these may interfere with the healing process.
The Bowen Technique was
developed by Tom Bowen in Australia and named after him following his
death in the early eighties. It has since flourished and spread
world-wide.
Jan trained with the European
School of Bowen Studies (ECBS) and qualified in 2005 as a Bowen
Technique Therapist. Since then she has attended many cpd courses with
trainers to include Isy Gabriel and Randy Barber (Smart
Bowen). She has also attended workshops at St Thomas Hospital in London
studying human cadavers.
