Index of 84 Bowen Technique Case Studies
‘Index of Bowen Technique Case Studies’
The following list constitutes an index of Bowen Technique Case Studies, each one outlining the use of targeted Bowen Therapy in relation to a specific clinical presentation. I began documenting the first of these case studies in 2013 to help therapists understand the concept of targeted treatment according to holistic tonal assessment. Since then, I have shared over 100 case descriptions. In the great majority of cases, the treatment is targeted to a site quite remote from the patient’s symptomatology.
I believe clinical observation is vital to the development of good therapists yet it is sorely lacking throughout our industry. I hope these Bowen Technique case studies will help to provide a general overview of the importance of holistic assessment, as well as some context for the application of the technique.
