Bowen is a dynamic system of physical muscle and connective tissue therapy that uses small, measured moves on the body to stimulate the body to heal itself naturally. It can provide relief for many types of injuries and other health problems, both acute and chronic, and it does so holistically, via the body's innate healing mechanisms. The practitioner's moves deliver signals to the nervous system at specific locations (on muscles, tendons, ligaments, or nerves), and the body responds in its own time, within its vital capacity.
