Why The Bowen School for Healthcare Professionals?

Anyone can learn the Bowen Technique. You don't need a medical background to enrol on any of the recognised courses in the UK. However, The Bowen School for Healthcare Professionals is unique to the UK - it is the only school dedicated to teaching healthcare professionals this fascinating treatment technique.

There are less teaching days than with other recognised Bowen courses because:

as a health care professional you already have knowledge of anatomy and physiology.
you already know general treatment principles.
you already are experienced with hands on treatment.

However, the total time it takes to qualify is not shorter. It requires a lot of practice to perform the Bowen Move to perfection and you will need the time to get to grips with possibly a different treatment philosophy to the one you're used to.

As a Healthcare Professional you may come across some specific problems whilst learning this Technique. For instance, it can be difficult to integrate The Bowen Technique in your everyday practice. Plus you already have a certain way of approaching patient's problems and dealing with those problems.

The challenge of Bowen is to look at things in a different light and to work in a different way. The Bowen Technique is very gentle, it is hands-on, hands-off and the therapist leaves the room frequently during treatment. The therapist gives the "input", but it is the patient's body and brain that decides what will happen.
