BowenBuzz

Diploma student Catherine Gordon from Colac in Victoria shares her experience of learning Bowen therapy from the Certificate IV in Bowen Therapy (10533NAT) through to Module 12 at the end of the Diploma of Specialised Bowen Therapy (10534NAT), delivered by Bowen Training Australia (TOid41134). We also get to hear from Catherine as she explained the information she uncovered during her research unit of her study. Catherine looked at the effect regular and timed Bowen therapy sessions could have on people undergoing chemo therapy and whether Bowen could assist them with their symptoms and side effects of the drugs they were administered as part of this treatment. In particular Catherine looks at the drug Zometa and its relation to the fluid imbalance it can cause in the body and this relationship to creatinine clearance. Sounds heavy I know, but it is not.
Catherine is an amazing woman, carer and Bowen therapist, I know you will enjoy listening to her.

Is It Fate, What do you Think?

In this episode I wonder of the origins of Bowen Therapy and how it has arrived at where it is today. I loosely quote a poem from the introduction of John Wilks and Isobel Knight’s excellent book on Bowen Therapy “Using the Bowen Technique to Address Complex and Common Conditions” and go on to contemplate what the consequences for Bowen Therapy has been depending on who it was that documented and shared his interpretation and perhaps how it may have been very different.

What would have been the outcome for what we know as Bowen Therapy if it had only been taught as a unit in a Osteopathy course or as a CPD for Chiropractors?

What did Tom Bowen see in Ossie Rentsch at that chance meeting in Adelaide?
