Gary Spencer - Principal teacher of Foundation and Advanced courses with the International School of Bowen Therapy (ISBT) based here in Melbourne. 25 years experience in Alternative Therapies. ISBT-Bowen Therapy is a dynamic and effective approach to pain and healing that will speed up recovery from injury for many Muscular - Skeletal & Visceral Health Issues. ISBT Bowen is unique in myofascial release techniques that you may find more effective in your body's responses than other therapies. This Australian therapy is based on the innovative bodywork of Tom Bowen from Geelong, Victoria. The way ISBT Bowen therapy works on the 'fascia' - the connective tissue surrounding and integrating all muscular- nervous system restriction and pain that is now backed up by the very latest peer reviewed research paper out of Honk Kong, "The Effect of ISBT-Bowen Therapy in the Treatment of Myofascial Neck Pain—a Randomized, Single-Blinded Clinical Trial". Pain management and/or resolution is my aim and result in most cases. Often in a short period of time with weekly or fortnightly sessions. Chronic conditions can also be greatly improved to give you a better more pain free life with regular sessions.

What is Bowen Therapy?
In the simplest terms - ISBT-Bowen therapy will dramatically reduce pain or resolve pain issues in as little as 3 weekly treatments.
Bowen Therpay is a unique way of treating pain and muscle restriction and soreness, using myofascial release techniques. The underlying source of many musculoskeletal, neurological, neuromuscular and other health problems could be found in the soft tissue or fascia.
Fascial dysfunction can affect every structure, muscle, nerve and organ in the body with nerve compression, muscle shortening, skeletal and organ displacement as typical examples.
Bowen is safe to use on anyone from the elderly to young children and on any condition from sporting injuries to chronic complaints.
A treatment consists of small gentle moves each at a specific site on the body. There is no forceful manipulation, just light cross-fibre moves over a muscle, tendon or ligament.
Bowen is gentle and effective, with substantial relief frequently attained after the first session. In many cases, only three treatments are required, one week apart.
Treatments usually last between 45 to 60 minutes.
How can Bowen help you?
Bowen therapy, through specific soft tissue or fascial release techniques, enables the body itself to correct fascial dysfunction and restore balance and function. Through treating the cause not the symptoms Bowen Therapy has consistently shown it can have profound and permanent healing and pain relief outcomes.
Benefits include remission from pain, reduced stress, greater mobility, improved physical and emotional quality and enjoyment of life, increased energy, improved circulation, lymphatic drainage and detoxification.
