Where it all begins
Let's Talk about the Pelvis
Our work begins with the pelvis. There are 80 muscles directly attached to the pelvis between the sternum and knees. If the pelvis is not balanced, one side is being pulled by one of those 80 muscles and none of the remaining 79 are working properly. This leads to a cascade of problems as joints above and below the pelvis suffer, muscle overuse occurs, and bone and joint degeneration follows.

Testimonials
What are Clients Saying?
"I highly recommend Jeremy and Anne at Bowenbody. I received awesome care when I threw out my back. Jeremy was very thorough with his examination and use of the Bowen therapy. His knowledge and expertise assisted with my recovery. After spending 1 1/2 hours with me each session, I felt a huge relief from the pain in my lower back. In three sessions I was back to normal. I found these sessions very affordable which is very important since we pay out of pocket for our medical expenses."
"I just returned from a walk downtown, where I realized I was STRIDING down the street, the way I USED to walk! Thank you so much for helping me to regain normal mobility."
"Anne reminded me that all problems deserve solving no matter how big or small. Oftentimes we seek help when things are dire for us, but in my case, I was lucky to have a Bowen session with Anne before things escalated too much. With her skilled hands and the present mind of a healer, she brought my hips and shoulders back into balance. At one point in the session, I actually felt my shoulder drop down into its natural position. Over the following days, my husband and I both noticed an improvement in my overall physical appearance; my face is relaxed, I stand taller, and I look (and feel!) generally stronger. I feel instantly years younger and my body feels right again, where I could never explain it to any other health care practitioner that it felt "off" before. I would recommend Anne and Jeremy to literally anyone who wants to feel great! Thanks Anne!"
"I went to Jeremy for Bowen Therapy for five sessions and the impact on my well being was remarkable! I have a bad knee — probably in need of a replacement surgery — and had been limping and as a result, messing up other parts of my frame and causing pain. Already after the first session I felt so much better! In total I had five sessions and the pain is gone! I have been verbally recommending Jeremy and Anne to friends and also posted on Facebook. I think that, if nothing else, this is worth a try if you’ve had any sort of issues with joints or your back, and probably countless other issues. I am a believer."
"After years of suffering with sciatica as well as neck and shoulder tension issues like headaches and muscle knots, I decided to try Bowen Therapy. I’d been to chiropractors, acupuncturists and massage therapists and while those therapies provided short term improvements, it was Bowen Therapy that solved my sciatica problem at the first visit and I have had no recurrence. I chose to continue with 4 more treatments to improve the neck and shoulder issues. It took a little longer but those too went away. Jeremy gave me pointers on sleep and chair postures to help me reduce the chance of my neck and shoulder problems returning. I listened, implemented and I have had no problems for months."
"I've been telling everyone about Bowen...what a difference in my life! I had a broken back and have tried every other therapy out there with minimal results."
"I was a marathon runner/triathlete for many years, and have always struggled with piriformis, tight glutes, and hamstrings. I have spent endless amounts of money and time trying every therapy there is. I assumed it was just my body, and I had to live with it! I had heard many stories from friends who found success with Bowen Therapy. When I arrived for my appointment with Anne, I could barely bend over, without pain. She immediately knew all the “said” tight areas. I was so amazed by the gentle process compared to past aggressive techniques that were agony. I had the most peaceful, calming process, and upon completion, I was in disbelief. I could bend over, pain free, and my body seemed to release all the “toxic” energy! The next day, I felt incredible!! My glutes have never felt this good… muchas gracias!"
The Technique
Bowen in a Nutshell
The Bowen Technique is a gentle therapy based on osteopathic principles. It is applied to the body while the client is fully clothed and each session is about 90 minutes in length.
The therapy is a rolling-type movement made with the thumbs and fingers across muscles, tendons, ligaments, and nerves and is designed to stimulate nerve pathways which cause a ‘conversation’ to take place. The work is similar to strumming the strings of a guitar, the brain recognizes if the area needs to be 'tuned' based on the sound or vibration that is created. Each sequence stimulates the body to recognize where it needs to heal itself.
Between each set of moves, the therapist steps away to allow the communication to occur. These breaks increase the effectiveness of each subsequent set of moves. The length of time between moves will vary throughout the session.
Bowen is very gentle, suitable for all ages, and has no contraindications. Bowen is also effective for animals and babies.
