How is the Bowen Method different from the other Bowen techniques?
The Bowen Method is a medically oriented modality based on Tom Bowen’s work. This therapy is based on anatomy, kinesiology (muscle movement), and postural adaptation (how the muscles of the body will adapt to abnormal postures to balance the body’s weight). Tom Bowen did not practice metaphysical or energy work. Although he had a keen sense of intuition, his treatment was always based on his knowledge of the human body. This combination of knowledge and intuition, in our opinion, is what made Tom Bowen a great healer. Although we sometimes get dramatic results, we do not claim any “magic” results or instant cures. The Bowen Method is a very effective, common sense modality based on practical medical knowledge. This is how Mr. Bowen practiced his craft and we believe it should be practiced as the originator of the method practiced it.
