Are you looking for a Bowen Therapist who can provide effective, gentle relief from chronic pain and musculoskeletal issues?

At Brisbane Livewell Clinic (Wavell Heights), Russell Evans is an experienced Bowen Therapist offering tailored Bowen Therapy treatments that promote natural healing and overall well-being.

What is Bowen Therapy?

Bowen Therapy is a holistic, non-invasive treatment that focuses on the gentle manipulation of soft tissue and fascia.

As a Bowen Therapist, Russell Evans uses precise, subtle movements to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes, offering relief from chronic pain, improving mobility, and enhancing your overall quality of life. Unlike traditional physical therapies, Bowen Therapy works with your body’s natural rhythms, making it a preferred choice for those seeking lasting, non-invasive pain relief.

The Bowen Therapy Experience

When you choose Bowen Therapy with Russell Evans, you can expect a relaxing and restorative experience. As your Bowen Therapist, Russell will guide you through each session, focusing on pain relief, muscle relaxation, and body alignment. 

Keep in mind that Bowen Therapy advocates pauses between each movement, to allow the body time to rewind and recover – this is not a non-stop hands-on therapy. So relax, doze off, and really let your Bowen Therapists movements take hold in healing your body.

“Russell is the best Bowen Therapist! He takes the time to understand what’s going on with my body and why it’s so stiff. I’ve had chronic neck tightness for years, and after a few sessions with him, I finally feel like the pain is reducing.” Priya S., Patient

“I came to Russell with hip pain that had been bothering me for months. His Bowen Therapy sessions are really gentle, but so so effective. I’ve got more movement in my hips and knees now and less pain everyday. Even my ankles hurt less!” Luca R., Patient

“I’d never tried Bowen before, but Russell was highly recommended. His sessions helped ease the pressure in my lower back and legs, and he always explains what he’s doing in a way that makes sense. It’s cool how passionate he is.” Mei-Ling C., Patient

“Russell’s approach is professional, thoughtful, and results-focused. I was dealing with shoulder tension from work, and his therapy gave me real relief without the need for strong pressure, which my body can’t cope with.” Tomasz K., Patient

“What impressed me was how in tune Russell was with what my body needed. He adapts each session to how I’m feeling that day and week. My sleep has improved, and I feel more balanced overall.” Amina H., Patient

FAQs From Your Bowen Therapist

1. What is Bowen Therapy and how does it work?

Bowen Therapy is a gentle, non-invasive treatment that focuses on soft tissue and fascia manipulation. As a Bowen Therapist, I use precise movements to stimulate the body’s natural healing abilities, offering relief from pain and promoting overall wellness.

2. Who can benefit from Bowen Therapy?

Anyone experiencing chronic pain, sports injuries, or stress-related issues can benefit from Bowen Therapy. It is suitable for all ages and is particularly effective when administered by a qualified Bowen Therapist.

3. How many sessions will I need with a Bowen Therapist?

The number of sessions needed varies by patient and condition. While some patients find significant relief after just one or two sessions with a Bowen Therapist, most of my patients benefit from a longer course of treatment, and I usually recommend that they start with our Initial Bowen Consultation then three treatment sessions before we evaluate their progress and consider next steps. This may include spacing out sessions to fortnightly and then monthly some time later.

4. Is Bowen Therapy covered by health insurance?

While some private health insurance plans in Australia may cover Bowen Therapy, this therapy is not commonly covered since the changes in insurance coverage a few years ago. Check with your provider to see if sessions with a Bowen Therapist are included in your coverage.

5. What can I expect during a Bowen Therapy session?

During your session, you’ll remain fully clothed and lie on a massage table or sit comfortably. I’ll apply gentle rolling movements on specific points of your body, followed by short pauses to let your body respond. Most patients find the sessions deeply relaxing.

6. Can Bowen Therapy help with posture and alignment?

Bowen Therapy can support postural balance by gently releasing tension patterns held in the muscles and fascia. Many of my patients report improvements in body awareness, spinal alignment, and ease of movement after a course of treatment.

7. Is Bowen Therapy safe during pregnancy?

Bowen Therapy is considered safe during pregnancy when performed by a trained Bowen Therapist. It may help relieve discomfort such as lower back pain, hip tightness, or fatigue. I always tailor sessions to your stage of pregnancy and physical needs, and I get you to lie on your side with pillows for your comfort.
