POSTURAL assessment is a key tool for Bowen therapists, especially with a first-time client, to help identify any movement or muscle dysfunction.
When training new therapists, we also point out the importance of good posture for the practitioner, to protect their own musculoskeletal health and avoid causing back and shoulder problems.

I was introduced to Bowen therapy in 2010 while training to be a Pilates instructor to help manage persistent pain in my neck, shoulder and back. It was recommended as a gentle yet effective approach to pain relief. Curious and hopeful, I gave it a try with remarkable results.

IN THE third and final part of my series of articles highlighting some of the lesser known or ‘unsung heroes’ of Bowen practice, I have selected Shoulder Release 3 (SR3), in my view the true gem of the Bowtech programme.

CONTINUOUS professional development (CPD) is an integral requirement for any complementary therapy practitioner, including all Bowen therapists. Various CPD training opportunities are available as well as advanced (SBP-1) and Masters (SBP-2) Bowtech modules 9-12.

COMPLETION of Special Bowen Procedures (SBP-1) saw Penny Williams presented with her Module 10 advanced training certificate by instructor Nickatie Morgan (see picture).
