Bowen Technique
What Is Bowen?
The Bowen technique is a dynamic system of muscle and connective tissue therapy. It utilises small but measured inputs to the body stimulating the body to heal itself, often profoundly.

(Bowen Academy of Australia)
As the longest-established training programme for Bowen in the UK and Europe, Bowen Training UK offers a unique opportunity to learn from the original pioneers of the Bowen Technique (Bowtech).
Under the auspices of the Bowen Therapy Academy of Australia, since 1993 we have trained more practitioners in the original Bowen Technique than any other college. We are proud that Bowtech is now seen as a benchmark for similar programmes.
Our Bowtech therapists form part of an international network of Academy-registered practitioners influencing health care in over 30 countries around the world. Only Bowtech gives access to the full range of procedures documented directly from founder Tom Bowen (1916 – 1982), who developed this unique therapy in his clinic in Victoria, Australia.
Since then, his work has been continued by Ossie and Elaine Rentsch (pictured left) ensuring more and more people can benefit from this gentle yet dynamic therapy which has been shown to have a profound effect on the body.
Bowen Training UK is the only college to have extensive support throughout the world with over 120 accredited teachers. Only Bowtech gives access to the full range of procedures documented by Oswald Rentsch directly from Tom Bowen himself.
No previous experience is needed to start learning the Bowen Technique which comprises seven basic modules. Our team of instructors, who have completed their own accredited intensive training programme, provides advice and support throughout.
Don’t miss the opportunity to learn this extraordinary method with the longest established and most prestigious Bowen training organisation in the UK!

Special Bowen Procedures 1 – Advancing Skills in Bowen Therapy
Kelso, Scotland 15&16 March - Jacqui Hoitingh
This month, I had the incredible opportunity to complete Special Bowen Procedures 1 (Advanced Bowen)—a course designed to refine and deepen our skills as Bowen practitioners. This advanced training focuses on specialized moves that enhance treatment effectiveness, offering even greater support for complex and chronic conditions. It’s always inspiring to expand our knowledge and continue learning how to help the body reset and heal more efficiently!
Here is the feedback from the student:
"I absolutely loved my Specialised Treatment module. Just when you think this therapy is amazing , it just gets even better. It’s been so inspirational learning more procedures and having a whole new set of ‘tools’ to use on my clients! This will make a massive difference on my practise and after only 1 week of using these brilliant new ‘tools’in the clinic, I’m already seeing a huge positive impact on my, more difficult cases.
I absolutely would thoroughly recommend any Bowen therapist to go ahead and complete their Specialised treatment module!!"
"I’m even more grateful to Bowen Therapy now, as are my clients!!" Wendy Kelly
“I was excited to learn new procedures, loved the fun learning and Looking forward to integrating these powerful techniques into my practice and sharing the benefits with clients."

Bowen and the Meridian System
Amichay Saller-Fischbach
June 21st – 22nd 2025
Frome, Somerset
£260.00
Booking is now open for a welcome return visit by Amichay Saller-Fischbach, Bowen practitioner and naturopath based in Germany.
We are delighted to bring to the UK his specialist seminar which aims to bridge the principles of Bowen therapy with the ancient wisdom of Chinese medicine, offering a deeper and more holistic approach to diagnosis and treatment.
Amichay will show how the two systems complement each other as many of our Bowen moves are localised on the same key meridians and acupuncture points.
By combining the two, therapists can enhance their practice and create a tailored and more effective treatment for the client addressing both physical and emotional health.
Course overview:
Our colleague John Wilks is co-ordinating the arrangements for this two-day seminar. For more information and to book your place please go to his website https://www.therapy-training.com/courses#/meridans-bowen/
