Tom Bowen and Bowen Technique in Central London

Tom Bowen and the “Bowen Technique”
Bowen Technique derives from the work of Australian therapist Tom Bowen. I have been lucky enough to learn “Tom’s Work” from Graham Pennington who learned it from Romney Smeeton, one of “Tom’s Boys” who observed Tom Bowen in clinic every week for 6 years. The primary physical goal of this simple, sophisticated work is to address imbalances associated with the pelvis, spine and skull, with the aim of restoring healthy spinal function and resolving structural issues that may be compromising the Central Nervous System. It then addresses any other issues that still remain. The Experience of Bowen After an initial assessment, the priority issue is addressed, and once addressed the therapist leaves the room to allow your body to process the input. Then the next layer is addressed and so on until the body has found a balance point for that day. Actual treatment times are usually about 20-25 minutes. |
