Bowen Technique 

Developed by Tom Bowen in Australia, this gentle form of bodywork is now available in the United States.  The Bowen Technique uses simple, gentle, rolling movements across muscles and connective tissue, similar to lightly plucking a stringed instrument.  The resulting harmonic vibrations balance the body and relieve pain and tension.  Because it works in harmony with the body, the Bowen Technique is effective for muscular, skeletal and nerve imbalances of all kinds.  Since the technique is so gentle, it can be used on anyone, no matter their age or health condition.   

Treatments are deeply relaxing due to a balancing of the autonomic nervous system that occurs during the appointment.  Your session will include periods of light treatment followed by short rests designed to allow your body to adjust before the next treatment is performed.  Appointments generally last 45 minutes, and patients report less pain and increased well-being afterward.  As with any form of bodywork, a series of treatment sessions are recommended to achieve lasting results.  Dr. Tufenkian is available to discuss Bowen Therapy with you to determine whether it is the right form of bodywork for you.
