Bowen Practitioner, Norm Smith has lived in the beautiful Northern Rivers Region for many years and he has been practising the Bowen Therapy technique, often referred to as Bowtech, for over 20 years. The original Bowen Therapy technique is a specialised area of expertise and is quite different from therapeutic massage or chiropractic treatment. Bowen Therapy is a non-invasive therapy that uses light, cross fibre manoeuvres of muscles and tendons. As only gentle movements are used, it is not painful and can be a very relaxing experience. Bowen Therapy works by gently challenging and rolling muscles and tendons under the skin, encouraging the receptors within the fascia to ‘awaken'. These movements along the patient's nervous system send signals to the brain which then encourages the body to active its own repair mechanisms.
