Version of a group of technical interpretations of the work
of Australian self proclaimed osteopath Tom Bowen 1916 -
1982 known as Bowen Therapy which is a holistic system of
healing. The Bowen Technique was limited to Australia until
1986, four years after Bowen's death in 1982, when it was
named, and spread to other countries around the world by
Mr. Oswald Rentsch a massage therapist of Hamilton, Victoria
Australia who observed Mr. Bowen at work one morning a week
for two years. It has since been developed and furthered
by many others and is now one of the nine therapies involved
in the move towards voluntary self regulation in the UK.
Neurostructural
Integration Technique (NST) is a dynamic and skilful professional
bodywork technique that alerts the body’s innate healing
wisdom to be activated. The comprehensive reorganization
of the musculature of the body is characterized by a lasting
relief from pain and dysfunction plus an increase in energy
levels.
Treatment comprises
the application of sequences of specialized moves on the
body in a systematic and specific manner using cross-fiber
maneuvering of muscle, tendon, ligament or nerve, using
varying pressure with resting periods to allow the body
to respond. Bowen for animals is a very specific therapy
that has received much attention and acclaim for its positive
healing effects.
Benefits/Contraindications
Pain relief through
activation of various neural reflexes. May experience shifting
body aches, hot and cold flushes, sweating and emotional
release.
Training/Licensing
Clinics, seminars
and courses offered. See Bowen
website.
