This site looks at effectiveness in two ways:

• What clients have said they got out of the sessions
• research reports on clinical effectiveness.

Consent has been obtained to publish the following clients comments.

“I wouldn’t have believed that such a simple process could relieve the pain in my arms, thank you.”

“It was very comfortable and relaxing”

“..felt a lengthening and strengthening of my spine..”

“relief from pain in jaw and ears. Found it a good space to tune into myself and relax”

Research has been carried out on the effectiveness of Bowen Treatments for a number of conditions. Information on this is available at:
