At Livwell you find holistic healing of Body, Mind and Spirit in comfort and peace of mind.

We understand that it can be difficult to find the right qualified therapist with whom you’re be at ease, one who truly listens and understands your individual needs and one who holds registered qualifications to look after your physical and emotional health.

You may have already spent a lot of money with unsuccessful treatments and have turned weary.

Because we understand, we apply no fees for the first thirty minutes of your first consultation. This gives you the freedom you need to discuss your health concerns with Livwell’s fully accredited Holistic Healer (AHHA) and Bowen Therapist (BAA).

Only a certified BowTech® trained Therapist and member of the Bowen Association Australia can dispense original Bowen Therapy.

Like any first visit to a good health clinic we start with assessing your current health status. To this end we will be taking down some of your medical history followed by a physiological assessment and testing your range of mobility.  A good understanding of your current health status will allow us to provide you with the right assistance. Now we can decide which will be the best process to follow.

You find the treatment room right for its purpose, yet full of ambience, light and harmony. To begin you disrobe and lie face down on the therapy table beneath a fresh white sheet. Your personal privacy is extremely important to us and the sheet is only uncovered enough to perform each movement. Please view our short video clip showing a variation of procedures.

Bowen movements are gentle yet profound in its effect to slowly manipulate the body back into its natural alignment. It relies on advanced knowledge in the movement of musculoskeletal properties, and the manipulation of connective tissue and points of nervus plexus in human physiology.

Your wellbeing is important. Nothing is rushed, every Bowen movement is controlled to illicit an intended physiological response to cause the body to rectify the health problem being targeted.

How do we know that the original Bowen Therapy (Bowtech®) is best, is less painful and does improve the outcome?

Because our discerning clients tell us so! 

What is Bowen Therapy?

It is a technique developed out of the work of Tom Bowen [1916 – 1982] and officially known as Bowtech® or Bowen Therapy.

The original Bowen Technique is the gentle manipulation and challenge (moves) of the body’s musculo-skeletal properties at particular points on the skin, directly and circuitously effecting underlying connective tissue, fascia, tendons and nerve fibre. The practitioner will apply sets of Bowen moves, often pausing between sets allowing the body to readjust. Through increasing sensory awareness the moves tap into the body’s ability to self regulate. Bowen technique has become widely used in primary care settings around the world, with many Bowtech trained therapists using the technique in hospitals, hospices and private clinics.

In the circle of health professionals it is believed that the ‘Bowen Technique’ is possibly the greatest discovery in complementary health care. Non-invasive yet capable of delivering amazing results, Bowtech® can relief specific injuries and other health problems, both acute and chronic. It does so holistically, addressing the entire body by restoring balance via the autonomic nervous system, activating the body’s innate healing mechanism.

So how would that translate into everyday type language?

Looking at a computer and the way it controls all functions of connected accessorises helps to explain the process. The body’s sensory system (nervous system) is constantly exchanging millions of tiny parcels of information with its control centre (the brain). Every centimetre of muscle fibre contains approximately 5,000 sensors controlling all our voluntary and in-voluntary movements. For example the heart, its muscles involuntary contract driving our cardiovascular system. Our diaphragma keeps working away while we are a sleep yet when we are awake we are able to influence our breathing. Without this sensory system working correctly we would not be able to stand up. When standing the muscles sensory system needs to repeatedly check muscle tension to prevent us from falling over. This all seems to work very well until one or more muscles, whether voluntary or involuntary, starts to act up. This can cause us a lot of discomfort and illness in serious cases.

In computer terms we would talk about a glitch in the system. So how do we get rid of such a glitch? Reboot and reset the system - and while the body is a little more complicated than a computer there are some compelling similarities. When a muscle or an interconnected musculoskeletal system has developed a glitch, a good Bowtech® trained Bowen Therapist is able to provide a challenge that reboots the system. In doing so the Bowen Therapist initiates a physiological response forcing the body to rectify the health problem. In some instances the body’s innate self correcting response is immediately felt. Some injuries and long-term ailments may take awhile to heal and regular Bowtech® therapy is needed to achieve the best possible outcome.

Bowtech® is appropriate to use for persons of all ages and at all levels of health.

Here at Livwell Holistic Healing we don’t rush, but invest quality time to benefit our clients who can relax into a soothing but purpose orientated professional environment.

A Bowtech® therapy session can last anywhere from 20 to 80 minutes. We begin with assessing a client’s individual health needs, to which aim we have a range of diagnostic tools at our disposal.

Bowen Therapy is not a massage, though clients do feel release of built-up stress and can experience profound relaxation. Usually a client is resting on a body-work table draped with linen cloth. Similar to massage, Bowen moves are directly applied on skin to initiate the most powerful response possible. If modesty is an issue, some Bowen moves can be applied through the draping or if preferred over a client’s light clothing. However working through cloth can prevent traction, cause slip-up and greatly diminish success.

It is our aim is to make your visit a very enjoyable and stress free experience.
