WHERE DID BOWEN ORIGINATE?
The Bowen Technique was pioneered by Thomas Ambrose Bowen, born in 1916 in Geelong, Australia. After working in miscellaneous labouring jobs as a young man, he developed a great interest in massage and body work and spent time observing football trainers and others involved with sports. By the time he was in his early 40's, this gifted man had established a full time practice in remedial therapy using the technique he had developed. It is often said that he could take one look at an individual and 'see' what was wrong and from where the problem stemmed. Once Bowen had got the process moving, that was enough for him and he then knew that through the week, the body would take over and do the rest.
In 1978, when he was interviewed by a parliamentary committee looking into complimentary medicine, he stated, under oath, that he treated about 280 patients per week with the help of an assistant and a receptionist - an incredible 13,000 patients a year, 88% of whom only required two or three treatments!
Thomas Bowen died in the early 1980's but today there are a number of flourishing therapies based on his work.
