Nottingham Massage & Bowen Therapy

Bowen Therapy was named after its inventor, Tom Bowen, a gifted Australian therapist who practiced in Geelong, a small town south of Melbourne. Bowen didn't teach his method but did allow several men (he called them "his boys") to observe his work, and this is how his therapy came to be taught to others after his death in 1982. Presently, there are probably about 1,000 people practicing Bowen Therapy in the UK. Bowen Therapy is quite unlike any other form of bodywork. Very light pressure is used to apply a gentle rolling type move over muscles, tendons or ligaments in specific locations. These moves appear to powerfully affect connective tissue in the body, known as fascia, resulting in a loosening or letting go of areas of tightness or restriction. Typically, people treated with Bowen notice a profound sense of well being.
