After becoming a professional Bowenwork®
practitioner, you are required to take a minimum
of four days (32 contact hours) of approved courses every two years in
order to maintain active status with the Bowenwork Academy USA and BTAA.
Eight of those hours must be
practitioner days, which are a review of the Modules 1-6 material,
variations and combinations of moves, review of difficult cases, and
interesting anatomical considerations. The remaining 24 hours may
be other classes such as Ossie and Elaine's specialized procedures and other continuing education classes offered
at various times.
We require these continuing
education hours because we have found that it is amazingly easy over
time to migrate off points, lose confidence in performing procedures one
hasn't used routinely, or forget why we do a particular procedure in the
first place. We want to assure your competency not only so we can
promote you on our web site with confidence, but also for your greatest success.
Some of the courses currently available in
the United States are:
Practitioner Days A&B, taken together or separately: Part A, all lower
body procedures, exercises and protocols. Part B, all upper body procedures,
exercises and protocols.
Attending Bowtech conferences
Within each two-year period, a maximum of eight continuing education hours may
be earned by attending Bowtech conferences.
