The Path to Wellness: Discovering Bowen Therapy Near Me

Last Updated on 19 April 2025 by Brisbane Livewell Clinic

Looking for Bowen Therapy near me? Brisbane Livewell Clinic in Wavell Heights offers gentle and effective Bowen Therapy sessions with experienced therapist Russell Evans. This hands-on approach helps with pain, injury recovery and long-term wellbeing in a natural, non-invasive way.

What Is Bowen Therapy

Bowen Therapy is a gentle body technique that uses soft movements over your muscles and connective tissue. These small rolling movements help your body relax, reset and heal on its own. It’s different from massage or chiropractic care because it doesn’t use strong pressure or deep force.

Russell uses a light touch, making it ideal for kids, adults and older people. Many people try Bowen Therapy when they want to avoid more intense treatments but still need help with pain, tightness or recovery.

How Bowen Therapy Works

Bowen Therapy helps calm your nervous system. When your body is relaxed, it can begin to fix problems like muscle tension or joint pain. During a session, there are small breaks between movements so your body has time to respond.

What Bowen Therapy Can Help With

People come to Brisbane Livewell Clinic for Bowen Therapy for many reasons. Some want help with long-term pain. Others are recovering from injuries or dealing with everyday stress.

Common reasons people book include:

  • Neck, shoulder or back pain

  • Sciatica and hip tightness

  • Jaw tension

  • Headaches or migraines

  • Posture issues

  • Sleep or fatigue problems

  • Tension from stress

What to Expect at Your Appointment

Russell starts each session by asking about your health and what you want from the treatment. You stay fully clothed and relax on a table or chair. Russell then uses gentle moves across your muscles, with short pauses to let your body respond.

A Bowen Therapy session takes about 60 minutes. Afterward, you might be told to drink water and avoid other treatments for a few days. This gives your body time to adjust and get the most out of the session.

How Many Sessions Do You Need

The number of sessions depends on what you’re dealing with. Some people feel better after one visit. Others come back two or three times, especially for long-term or ongoing issues.
