BOWEN THERAPY works by manipulating the fascia through specific release and integration techniques, using selectively placed cross-fibre muscle-fibre moves to stimulate the soft tissue (fascia) found between the muscles and skin.
This helps create a window of opportunity for the fascia to become re-hydrated, which in turn assists the structures housed within the tissue.
As a gentle procedure, this form of therapy is suitable for all people – from the very frail to the very fit.
It can be applied through clothing and, if need be, with the client standing, sitting or lying down.
Because of its effectiveness in treating a multitude of conditions it has achieved significant status as a very popular natural therapy.
Bowen Therapy

Healthy and happy animals are in their natural state, and when illness or events occur which shifts that natural state to one of unhealthiness, depression or anxiety, then an animal needs help in re-establishing a sense of balance again so that health and happiness can be achieved.
