About Centre of Balanz

Bowen Therapy is a form of bodywork. Bowen is a non invasive gentle approach to soft tissue therapy with effective results making it suitable for newborn babies, children, adults & pregnant woman.

Bowen is a gentle & safe healing treatment. Used for physical injuries and assists with mental & emotional concerns.

Whilst lying on a massage table a sequence of rolling moves are performed over the body where muscle, ligament, tendon & connective tissues are present followed by short pauses. The movements create impulses that communicate with the nervous system encouraging pain relief & healing. This also stimulates the function of your internal organs.

Bowen addresses the WHOLE BODY to encourage healing & a positive result. It helps to reset, facilitate balance & attain symmetry. 

I am passionate about sharing Bowen therapy & keeping the Tom Bowen philosophy alive through continued education.

History of Bowen Therapy

Developed in Geelong, Victoria by Thomas Ambrose Bowen (1916-1982)

After WW2, Mr Bowen became interested in ways of alleviating human suffering. He began to notice when he made certain moves on a body it had particular effects. He spent time refining his technique without any particular training & developed what we now know as The Bowen Technique. Word spread as others heard of his healing reputation & so began his transition from treating people after his day job, to his full time practise in Geelong.

Due to his own granddaughter suffering from a disability & dying at a young age. Tom ran a free clinic for children twice monthly on Saturday mornings. For this many children had an improved quality of life. From asthmatics to disabled children, Tom devoted his life to the children.
