What is the Bowen Technique?

Bowen is a soft tissue remedial technique that involves the practitioner using fingers or thumbs to move over muscle, ligament, tendon and fascia in various parts of the body.
Even though there is no force or manipulation, it may be effective to help relieve everyday stresses and revitalise the whole person.

Bowen was developed in the 1950’s by the late Tom Bowen in Australia. He became a celebrated therapist. He invited Oswald Rentsch to study with him and in 1986 Oswald Rentsch and his wife Elaine began to teach the technique founding the Bowen Therapy Academy of Australia.
