Although technically a manual therapy, Bowenwork is actually a form of energy healing, that, like Homeopathy, uses extremely gentle stimuli to engender a healing response. Created in the 1960's and 1970's by Tom Bowen, an Australian bodyworker, Bowen work has now spread to over 30 countries worldwide. Although commonly used for musculoskeletal problems, it can address a wide variety of physical and even mental health disturbances.
