Bowen Therapy
Visit Length: 45-60 minutes
​Bowen therapy is a soft-tissue bodywork technique that uses the nervous system
connections between the body and brain to stop pain patterns. Sessions consist of
targeted, gentle manipulation on fascia, muscle, nerves, and tendons to activate the
body’s reflexive relaxation response. 

Treatments on muscle groups are followed by brief pauses, which enable the body to focus on the treatment area and reset holding patterns to benefit from its effects. Bowen therapy can be thought of as a nervous system reboot, supporting activation of our parasympathetic nervous system and a shift from our stress response into our “rest, digest, & repair” mode to stimulate rebalancing and healing. Bowen sessions last 45-60 minutes during which the patient is fully clothed and laying down, with accommodations available for those people who cannot lay down due to pain. Most people see improvement in 1-3 sessions. Bowen is a safe and effective treatment for stress-related concerns and acute and chronic physical health concerns, including:

• Back pain
• Arthritis
• Shoulder pain, including frozen shoulder and rotator cuff injuries
• Knee pain
• Headaches & migraines
• Muscular tension
• Fibromyalgia-related pain
• Some digestive health concerns

Bowen therapy at Brickyard Health is provided by Dr. Tara Lantz, ND and is billable
to extended health plans under Naturopathic medicine.
