Bowen Therapy uses gentle rolling movements over muscles and connective tissues, often focusing on areas such as the neck, shoulders and upper back, which may hold tension following injury.

Many people experience neck pain following long periods at a desk, stress-related tension, or injuries such as concussion or whiplash from vehicle accidents.

Bowen Therapy is a gentle form of bodywork that works with the nervous system and soft tissues of the body.

Some people seek Bowen Therapy when looking for a calm, non-forceful approach to supporting relaxation, movement and overall comfort. Many clients explore Bowen Therapy after motor vehicle accidents, sports injuries or falls.

Initial consultations include time to discuss your symptoms and develop a personalised treatment plan.

Neck pain and whiplash symptoms may include

• stiffness or restricted movement in the neck
• headaches or migraines
• tension through the shoulders and upper back
• jaw tension (TMJ)
• discomfort when turning the head
• lingering muscle tightness following whiplash injuries

Neck and upper back tension can develop gradually or follow a specific injury.

Many people seek gentle bodywork when symptoms persist or when they prefer a non-forceful approach to treatment.

How Bowen Therapy may support neck and upper body tension

Bowen Therapy uses a series of gentle rolling movements applied over muscles and connective tissue.

Short pauses between movements allow the nervous system time to respond.

The treatment is performed through light clothing and is suitable for people who prefer a calm and gentle approach to bodywork.

Sessions are tailored to each individual and may focus on areas such as the neck, shoulders and upper back.
