Bowenwork™ is based on the principle that our bodies have an inherent and continuous self-healing and self-correcting process that can be stimulated to return us to our previous healthy condition. It provides the body with a powerful reminder of this relaxing state of recovery and the opportunity to 'jump-start' this process of healing. It works in partnership with each person's healing process. Special attention is paid to the unique structure and tissue tone of each individual in order to fine-tune the work for him/her.
Bowenwork™ consists of a series of precisely placed motions of the thumbs or fingers over tendons, muscles or nerves. The stimulus to relax and heal that Bowen gives the body, enters the nervous system and travels to the brain through the highly sensitive pathways used for sensing motion and maintaining balance These neural connections bypass our conscious thought and voluntary muscle action so that the messages they send communicate directly and powerfully their healing message. Thus, Bowen has been seen to be effective in releasing a locked joint, muscle or non-responsive condition that has been repeatedly treated, trained and stretched with no lasting change.
Bowenwork™ was developed by Tom Bowen (1904-1984) in Australia. Ossie and Elaine Rentsch who documented Mr. Bowen's methods began teaching the work in 1986. Today the couple does workshops and certifies trainers around the world. Read more about how Bowen works here.
