Julia Kreer, an NFM Bowen Therapy client in Leesburg, Virginia, suffers from arthritis. She shared the following in “The Bowen Technique”, Massage Magazine, Issue 106, Nov/Dec 2003, pg. 164:

“I had a bad limp and muscle pain due to severe osteoarthritis in my left hip, [and] the bone doc told me that only a hip replacement would help. My physical therapist did everything she could and then referred me to [Chuck Thomas] for Bowen.”

"At first I thought, 'Something this gentle, this calming, this alternative won't help much,'" she recalled. "But after the second visit, I noticed a lessening of the severe muscle pains in my leg, and my limp improved. I get occasional arthritic pains now, but no more muscle pains.”

Bowen Therapeutic Techniques represent interpretations of the manual therapies used in Australia by the late Mr. Thomas Ambrose Bowen. Bowen Therapy consists primarily of acupressure, massage and osteopathy.

Bowen Therapy offers a safe and effective form of therapeutic and medical massage for anyone - from the highly trained athlete to the chronically ill, from newborns to the elderly, and for expecting mothers during any trimester.

Bowen Therapy has successfully relieved musculoskeletal discomforts such as back and neck pain, sporting injuries, carpal tunnel syndrome, scoliosis, and TMJ alignment, as well as systemic and neurological disorders.

According to Dr. Oswald H. Rentsch:

"It is also renowned for its effectiveness with internal conditions such as migraines, digestive and elimination complaints, colic in babies, and respiratory problems, including asthma" (Rentsch, 1998).

The experienced Bowen therapist can address both acute and chronic discomforts. NFM Bowen Therapy integrates the work of Mr. Thomas Bowen with other Eastern and Western massage techniques.

I offer my clients either stand-alone or integrated Bowen Therapy sessions, depending upon their desires and objectives.
