What is Bowen Therapy/Neurostructural Integration Technique (NST)?

The Bowen technique, developed by Tom Bowen in Australia, is a therapy that encourages the body to reset and heal itself.

Bowen therapy operates from the principle of auto-regulation, awakening the innate intelligence of the body to rebalance structural tension. A series of gentle to deep movements over specific muscles, tendons and ligaments are applied throughout the body for lasting pain removal and rejuvenation. There are frequent pauses between moves which allow the body to internalize the stimulation.

This rebalancing process may lead to shifting body sensations, toxic and/or emotional releases and postural realignments.

NST influences the musculoskeletal system, autonomic nervous system, lymphatic system and acupuncture meridians, making it a truly comprehensive healing modality. NST can be done as a standalone treatment or in the second half of a massage therapy treatment.

The following conditions can benefit from NST:

  • Back pain.
  • Neck pain.
  • Shoulder pain.
  • Knee pain.
  • TMJ disorder.
  • Migraine.
  • PMS/Cramps.
  • Fibromyalgia.
  • Chronic Fatigue.
  • ADD/ADHD.
  • Digestive Problems.
