 How
Bowenwork® Originated
Bowenwork was developed in the 1950s by the late
Thomas Bowen of Geelong, Australia. Bowen's approach was to
reset the tension in certain muscles and muscle groups by using a
unique type of stretch-and-roll-through move and then pausing
between sets of moves to give the body time to begin its response.
He achieved amazing results. According
to a 1974 survey of alternative health practitioners performed by
the Victorian Government, Bowen was found to be doing over 13,000
treatments per year. In over 85% of his cases, the problems
for which his patients sought treatment were resolved.
In the last years of his life, Bowen allowed
several practitioners to observe him. He recognized only six
of them as understanding his work. One of these,
Oswald (Ossie) Rentsch, promised at Bowen's deathbed to make his
work known around the world. Ossie's
interpretation of Mr. Bowen's work is now taught in over
30 countries under the auspices of the
Bowen Therapy Academy of Australia (BTAA)
and is known under the international trademarks Bowtech® and
Bowenwork®.
