How is Bowen Therapy different from Osteopathy, Chiropractic, Physiotherapy and Massage?

Other therapies have their merits but Bowen Therapy is different in many ways. Most importantly, Bowen is very gentle and relaxing. Many patients fall asleep during treatment. Bowen does not involve "joint cracking" manipulations as is the case with osteopathy, chiropractic and often with physiotherapy. Bowen therapy does not make use of any electrical equipment or oils. Practitioner's contact with the patient's body is minimal.

 

A Bowen treatment is extremely gentle, relaxing, non-invasive and amazingly effective. As Ossie Rentsch, the director of BOWTECH says - "Trust the technique and be amazed".. Bowen seems to have a holistic effect - it often benefits areas and conditions that were not the main complaint or concern of the patient. In my opinion Bowen therapy is excellent for general health and wellbeing and so I advise my clients to have a treatment whenever life's pressures are starting to affect them adversely.

 

What conditions can benefit from Bowen treatment?

Back pain, sciatica, neck and shoulder pains are most commonly helped by Mobile Bowen Therapy Service in Huddersfield. Headaches, migraines, fibromyalgia and stiff and painful joints also improve with Bowen treatment in Huddersfield. Other conditions commonly helped are listed on the home page.

 

What ages can Bowen be safe and beneficial for?

Bowen is safe and can be safely used on anyone from the new born to the elderly and even during pregnancy. Bowen seems to be excellent at improving mobility, reducing pain and relaxing (de-stressing) a recipient.

 

How many treatments will I need?

Acute and even long standing conditions often benefit in 2-5 treatments. The case histories presented in this website are true and by no means exceptional. Bowen therapy truly produces excellent results. As Ossie Rentsch, the director of BOWTECH says - "Trust the technique and be amazed".

 

Like with all forms of therapy guarantees are impossible because everyone responds differently - depending on their unique life circumstances. Multiple factors combine to make an individual unwell and so many factors influence how quickly and how much a patient benefits.

 

An increasing amount of research is being undertaken on the effectiveness of Bowen Therapy. The conclusions are very positive. Some of this research is available on the web.

 

Other therapeutic techniques

For those that still prefer a firmer treatment, Mr Amann can use other techniques such as manipulations, muscle energy techniques, neuromuscular techniques and soft tissue techniques - therapeutic massage. These were learnt whilst studying BSc Osteopathy and Diploma in Osteomyology.
