The Bowen Technique in Combination with other Therapies.
Despite the often touted catch-phrase "do not combine the Bowen Technique with other therapies", the Bowen Technique combines well with many different types of treatment.
Mr. Thomas Bowen himself combined the Bowen Technique with shiatsu and High Velocity Thrusts (HVT). The majority of Bowen Therapists I have spoken with, including Dr. Kevin Ryan and Dr. Romney Smeaton, two of those who interned with Tom Bowen, combine the Bowen Technique with other therapies with surprising results.
While the Bowen Technique is the main therapy applied at The Hague Bowen Therapy Clinic, if The Hague Bowen Therapy Clinic is of the opinion that the client will benefit from another technique, he combines that technique with the Bowen Technique. Other treatments used include:
- Muscle Energy Technique (MET)
- Positional Release Techniques
- Emmett Technique
- Sports Massage
- Regular Massage
NB: The Bowen Technique is not meant as a replacement for regular medical advice. If you have any doubts over the nature of your condition please contact a medical practitioner.
