On this day, April 18 1916, Thomas Ambrose Bowen was born.

He is fondly remembered by those of us who have made his work our life's work, and by all who have been helped and healed by the Bowen Technique.

May his legacy endure for generations to come.

Thank you, Mr. Bowen. 🙏

Bowen Therapy does not impose change through painful manipulation.

It invites change through its gentle moves that partner with the body’s innate intelligence.

Ever stopped to consider the thousands of biological processes your body performs each day, without any conscious effort on your part?

This is the body’s innate intelligence, and what we, as Bowen Therapists, work with to restore balance and well-being (to the best of your body's ability).

Plus, it’s downright relaxing!

"Bowen stimulates the peripheral nervous system and central nervous system, causing the body to recognize compensatory patterns and to correct them, returning back to a normal healthy state. Involvement of the brain results in the body being able to prioritize which type of healing it requires, whether a fine-tuning of the emotions is to take place, or healing on a physical level creating a balanced state of well-being and lessening of presenting symptoms and pain reduction."

The power of the pause! ⏸️

Between each set of moves, Bowen Therapists pause for as many minutes as are needed for the client's body to begin responding.

As the nervous system begins to adjust the tension level in the muscles, the practitioner senses when the client is ready for the next set of moves.

In contrast to other hands-on modalities, where practitioners impose correction on the client through manipulation, Bowen Technique facilitates the body in 𝙝𝙚𝙖𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙞𝙩𝙨𝙚𝙡𝙛, with 𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙞𝙢𝙖𝙡 𝙞𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙫𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣.
