Adrienne Wakefield Bowen Therapist

The Bowen Technique has been described as being 'one of the most down to earth therapies in the book'

Bowen works by releasing/relaxing the connective tissues, increasing hydration in the tissues and lowering the sympathetic tone in the autonomic nervous system.

Developed by Tom Bowen in Australia, using very gentle non-manipulative moves over muscle and connective tissue with only thumbs and index fingers.

A full case study will be taken at the initial consultation. A treatment consists of a series of gentle rolling moves with frequent pauses between moves giving the body time to benefit from each set. The body is treated as a whole or a specific problem can be targeted.

A wide range of problems can be helped using Bowen:

Allergies
Baby and childhood problems
Back problems
