Physiotherapy is a profession dedicated to identifying and maximizing quality of life and movement potential. This encompasses physical, psychological, emotional and social well being. At Woodbridge Physiotherapy Practice we use our skills as physiotherapists to treat the cause of the problem at the deepest level using a whole-body approach to restore normal function and allow pain-free movement.

The Bowen Technique is a treatment that sets the body up to heal itself. The rolling Bowen moves over soft tissue, tendons and muscle encourages re-balancing and re-alignment of the body. Apart from the initial improvement achieved during the therapy session, improved working of the circulation, lymphatics and muscle condition allows the self healing process to continue for several days following the treatment.

The Bowen Technique originates from Australia and takes its name from its founder 'Tom Bowen'. It has been increasing in popularity in the UK since it's introduction 15 years ago. The Bowen Technique is a gentle treatment in which the therapist makes moves using thumbs and fingers on precise points of the body.
