The Bowen Technique was developed in the 1950’s in Australia by Tom Bowen.

Tom Bowen is not known to have had any formal training, although it is known he did treat a lot of people. In 1975 the Australian government inquiry into alternative health care professionals verified that Tom Bowen carried out about 13,000 treatments a year.

Tom Bowen shared his work with a small number of men, one of whom Ossie Rentsch, named it the Bowen Technique and founded the Bowen Therapy Academy of Australia.
