AW#14: Bowen Therapy for Lower Back Pain

Bowen Therapy is a tried and tested technique that has been around for more than 50 years, and originated here downunder in Geelong. Tom Bowen was working as a masseur in junior football clubs at the time when he began discovering this technique. During the 1970's Tom Bowen was seeing 13,000 people a year with a success rate of more than 80%. As a result, Bowen Therapy now has a worldwide following with practitioners all over the globe and many here in Adelaide. More information can be found at the Bowen Therapy Association of Australia.

As a modality, it works on the understanding that the underlying cause of many musculoskeletal and neuromuscular problems is found in the fascia. Fascia is the connective tissue that forms a three dimensional web surrounding every tissue in the body. It envelopes all nerves, bones, arteries, veins and muscles. So if there is a problem in the fascia, there is pain and tension in the body.
