About ISBT - Bowen Therapy

The gentle Australian healing system, ISBT - Bowen Therapy is applied to treat a broad range of physical ailments including muscular, structural and visceral complaints.

It is a dynamic fascial and muscle release modality, with single, gentle cross-fibre moves being applied to specific muscles, tendons and ligaments to promote improved flow of blood, lymph and energy. These moves are usually applied in precise Sequences. When required, these Sequences often create self-correcting structural changes to promote overall body balance.

It is a minimalist approach to bodywork, doing away with the need for repetitive and often invasive action. It is especially useful with its ability to be effectively applied when many other therapies cannot, such as with extreme trauma, frail, elderly people and very young babies.

The philosophy behind ISBT’s modality is based on the osteopathic principle that the structure of the body governs its function. Correcting the structure to improve overall wellbeing is often the aim.

The visceral impact of correcting basic structural imbalance can, in itself, often be profound. Add to this, specific ISBT Sequences aimed at visceral dysfunction and an all-embracing, holistic approach to health problems results.

ISBT was established to teach this marvelous Australian healing system around the world and is proud to do so under the regulations and guidelines of the independent Bowen Therapists Federation of Australia.
