Bowen Therapy​

Bowen Therapy (also known as Bowtech or ISTB) is a gentle, non-invasive healing technique developed in the 1950s by Tom Bowen. This holistic therapy uses precise, subtle movements over muscles, ligaments, and connective tissue to stimulate the body’s natural healing response.

The technique involves gentle rolling motions over specific points of the body. These moves send signals through the nervous system to trigger realignment and healing. Sessions are relaxing, and many clients report falling asleep during treatment due to the deep state of calm it induces.
