Human Bowen
The Bowen Technique
Gentle, hands-on complementary therapy tailored to the individual.
I qualified with the European School of Bowen Studies in 2003, including Anatomy and Physiology examination, and I have continued to develop my skills through regular postgraduate training.
Bowen is a gentle, hands-on complementary therapy. At an initial appointment I take a history, discuss what has brought you for treatment and explain what to expect. Your response after the session can then guide whether another appointment would be appropriate.
What happens during a treatment?
The treatment usually takes place lying on a treatment couch and can be carried out through light clothing or directly on the skin. When needed it can also be adapted for somebody who is more comfortable sitting or standing.
I use my thumbs and fingers to make a series of precise, rolling-type movements over soft tissue. Short pauses are included between sequences. Many people find the overall experience deeply relaxing.
Bowen is a complementary therapy. It does not replace medical assessment, diagnosis or treatment. Please seek appropriate medical advice for new, persistent or worsening symptoms.
Why do people choose Bowen?
Clients come for many different reasons, often including musculoskeletal discomfort, stiffness, tension, the effects of everyday activity or simply to support relaxation and general wellbeing. Experiences vary from person to person.
Some clients book a short series of appointments; others choose to return periodically as part of their own wellbeing routine. Amanda will discuss this with you rather than applying a fixed programme.
