The Bowen moves are made on precise points on the body making rolling type moves with thumbs and fingers which are aimed to stimulate and disturb the following systems:

• Muscle
• Nerve pathways
• Blood and lymph circulation
• Energy flow

Communication between these four systems are facilitated and reconnections are made.

The practitioner uses thumbs and fingers on precise points on the body to make rolling-type moves which aim to disturb the muscles, soft tissue and energy within the body.

During the treatment there are periods in which the client is left resting to allow the body to absorb the gentle moves that have been performed. This gives the body the time to make the subtle and fine adjustments which help to relieve tension, reduce pain and initiate the healing process.

The Bowen Technique encourages the body to realign itself; there is no manipulation or adjustment of hard tissue and no force is used or needed.

The Bowen Technique is not a form of massage.
