Enjoy pain relief and improved health with the gentle manual therapy called Bowen Therapy.

We often think of Bowen Therapy as something for individuals, but what about whole teams?

One Australian corporation discovered something remarkable when they introduced monthly Bowen sessions for their workforce. Despite having the oldest workforce of all their 40 sites across the country, this site achieved:
- Highest productivity increases in 2 of 4 years
- Lowest accident rate 3 years running
- Fewest sick days for 2 years straight

Employees reported less pain, more energy, stronger immunity, fewer disputes, and better relationships at work and home. Even workplace injuries and workers’ comp claims dropped dramatically.

All from a simple, short Bowen treatment each month.

When people feel better in their bodies, they work better too.
Now that’s good for business and good for people.

Some people carry invisible pain.
A client came to see me recently after more than 20 years of constant muscle and joint pain, brain fog, exhaustion, depression, and relentless tension in her body. It began after a bout of glandular fever in her teens. To the outside world she looks well and functions normally, but every day has been an exhausting struggle.

As she spoke, I realised she was telling my story too. The same beginnings, the same disbelief from others, the same despair of never ending pain and the anguish of not being understood. The same desperate longing for something that might help.

She agreed to try Bowen Therapy. Expecting she’d need hard, deep pressure, she was surprised that the gentle touch of Bowen brought relief, a release of pain and tension, and even a sense of peace she thought she would never feel again. For the first time in decades, she felt her body could be different.

That day, she found more than treatment. She found true understanding, lived experience, and a glimmer of hope. And for me, the honour of being able to offer the help I once searched for.

My special treat is working with people who are fully aware of the body, mind and spirit connection.

I’ve been helping a former martial arts instructor with some body tension. After his first Bowen treatment, he experienced some very meaningful visions he chose not to share in detail. He returned for his second session in much more comfort and remarked that many of the issues in his life had effortlessly resolved during the week.

A few days earlier, I had listened to a Bowen instructor describe the work as “opening a window to the soul.” When I shared this with him, he told me one of his most impactful visions had been looking through a window — seeing the future he yearned for but unable to reach it. Then, the glass folded down, and he was able to step through.

Moments like this give me goosebumps. They’re too aligned to be coincidence.

One of my young clients from up north, who I see every month or so, recently made an observation that really struck me.

She told me she thought her headaches were getting better because she was sitting up straighter. Then she paused and realised — she actually couldn’t sit up straight until her mum brought her for Bowen treatments. She asked me if Bowen could have made that difference.

The answer is yes. Bowen helps the muscles work in harmony so they can hold the bones in the most effortless way — especially our heavy head balanced on our thin spine. When posture is effortless, it becomes sustainable.

If you have to think about sitting or standing tall, posture only lasts while you’re concentrating. But when the body finds balance, posture holds itself.

This young client’s posture improved — and her headaches eased.

If you’ve ever experienced an acute episode of lower back pain, you’ll know how difficult even the simplest movements can be — sitting, standing, or rolling over in bed.

At the first Bowen session, before any treatment begins, I show you how to “organise” your spine so you can move with less pain. Simple skills like getting out of a chair without using your hands, rolling in bed, or sitting and standing safely make an immediate difference. They also prevent re-injury and help the benefits of Bowen last the full 7–10 days between sessions.

By the second visit, most people are surprised by how much easier it is to move. Because they’re no longer aggravating the problem with every step or twist, healing has a chance to continue.

By the third session, many arrive free of back pain. That’s when I introduce a tailored menu of exercises designed to prevent old patterns from returning. These tools can help maintain a pain-free state, and often allow people to catch small issues before they become bigger problems.

Most people with acute lower back pain just want relief now. That’s why I have a step-by-step process that makes sure each stage of recovery is supported.

At the first session, we focus on calming the pain and stiffness, and teaching movement habits that stop re-injury before the healing even starts. The goal is to walk out feeling better — and stay that way.

The second treatment usually builds on those results, going deeper into the muscles and tissues that are still hanging on to tension.

By the third visit, most people are pain-free or just a little stiff in the mornings. That’s when I give very gentle, targeted exercises to resolve the issue fully and keep it from coming back.

The first session is often just the beginning. The next part is where things really change — and where people often say, ‘Why hasn’t anyone shown me this before?

Today I treated another person with severe lower back pain. After Bowen, she felt much relief and left with some simple ideas to support her healing at home. She was so grateful — her young grandchildren are visiting next week, and she’s now looking forward to playing with them instead of worrying about her back. 💛
That’s the beauty of Bowen: not just easing pain, but helping people get back to what really matters.

Got a text today from a fit, outdoorsy client who’d had a big fall yesterday.
He was surprised he wasn’t nearly as sore as he expected this morning.
His words? “It must be the Bowen treatments – that’s the only thing that makes sense.”

I hear this a lot, especially from farmers and tradies.
Bowen seems to help the body remember balance – so when life throws it off, it can find its way back quicker.

Pretty cool, right?

I was listening to a Bowen podcast recently where a naturopath who also practices Bowen explained how his herbal treatments became more effective when his clients received Bowen alongside them.

This really resonated with me. Over the years, I’ve noticed the same thing with my own clients who continue regular Bowen while also working with naturopaths, nutritionists, herbalists, and even psychologists.

We often think of Bowen as “the alternative to alternative therapies”, but it is also a beautiful complement to them. Bowen supports healing on physical, mental, and emotional levels, which means other therapies have a stronger foundation to build upon.

Bowen doesn’t compete. It supports.

Four weeks ago, a tradie hobbled in like an old man—short of breath, pale, distressed, and rating his lower back pain at 12/10. After one Bowen treatment, he left at 3/10.
By the second week, he was pain free but still stiff. By the third, just a bit of morning tension and swelling that eased after 30 minutes. That “rope” in his back melted away quickly during treatment.

At a party recently, a former client overheard me talking about Bowen and jumped in to share her story. I’d helped her with back and leg pain in each of her pregnancies - or so I thought.

She told the group that during her last pregnancy, the pain was so bad she’d begged her doctor for a termination… until she remembered Bowen.

“Prue kept me comfortable for the rest of the pregnancy,” she said. It was one of those moments you wish you’d caught on video.

Helping people, one person at a time

A Bowen Clinic ... and other journeys provides pain relief and improved health through Bowen Therapy, Equine Muscle Release Therapy, the Egoscue Method and other alternative modalities. I work with both people and horses in Dubbo and the surrounding area.

Often getting people who have “tried everything and nothing works”, I get some people in who have been in severe pain for a very long time. After a course of treatments, most of the time they get a great result, in which the person achieves their goals or better, and I don’t see them again. Sometimes people find that they benefit from a regular treatment every fortnight or month to manage their condition. Very occasionally Bowen does not seem to assist much at all, and I shall refer on or work in conjunction with other alternative therapists to support my customer.

I am continually searching for and researching different ways to help my patients, as my goal is to heal the cause of the problem so that the issue does not return. It is sometimes surprising how a debilitatingly painful and long-term problem, that has developed over many many years and you would expect to take a long time to get better, may resolve within two or three weeks.

Look forward to helping you.
