A explanation as to what Bowen Therapy is. 
Therapists create rolling-type moves over the skin, using the thumbs and fingers. The moves are designed to disturb the underlying tendons, fascia, muscle and organs. Between each set of moves, the therapist will give the body a break. These 'breaks' provide an opportunity for 'interoception' to take place, which is essentially a conversation between the body and brain via the nervous systems.
Bowen moves are designed to be comfortable for the recipient, there is no deep or prolonged pressure, sliding or flicking involved. Most of the moves can be made through light clothing with the client lying, sitting or standing.
The pressure can be adapted to suit the individual - making Bowen a suitable therapy for everyone from the newborn to athletes, the elderly and pregnant women.
