Where did the Bowen Technique originate?
The Bowen Technique was developed in the 1950's by the late Tom Bowen from Geelong, Australia. M. Bowen became a celebrated therapist, regularly treating over 13,000 patients each year. In 1974, he invited Oswald Rentsch and his wife Elaine to study with him and document his work. Honouring their promise to Bowen, Ossie and Elaine began to teach the technique in 1986.

Since then, over 25,000 therapists worldwide have taken Bowen training. This is where it all started, all Bowen training is based on Bowtech, who introduced and continue to bring the Bowen Technique to the world.

Dedicated to preserving the technique and ensuring that it is taught in its original form, Ossie and Elaine founded the Bowen Therapy Academy of Australia in 1987.

What it is and how does it work?
Bowteck, the original Bowen Technique, is a gentle form of the body work in which very subtle moves preformed over the muscles and connective tissue send messages deep into the body, retrieving memory of a preferred, relaxed, balanced way of wellbeing.

Results can be remarkable, even from the first session; often only a few sessions are needed to correct the presenting problem. There are frequent but very essential pauses throughout the session that allows the body time to respond and begin the healing process.

The Bowen Technique does not use forceful manipulation. The technique addresses not only the musculo-skeletal framework, but also the fascia, nerves and internal organs. The body's integrated response improves circulation and lymphatic drainage and aids in the assimilation of nutrients and elimination of toxins.
