Bowen Therapy was developed in Geelong, Victoria, Australia by Tom Bowen (1916 -1982) in the 1950’s.
Without having any formal training he claimed it was “a gift from god”.
A Victorian government inquiry in 1975, into alternative health care professionals, found that Tom Bowen was doing 13,000 treatments a year in his Geelong Practice.
In 1974 Tom Bowen began to share his knowledge of his technique with the agreement it was to be taught after his death.
