This treatment was developed in Austrailia 20-25 years ago by a Thomas Bowan. You can Google Bowan Therapy and find out all you want to know. The treatment has been spiritual as well as mechanically workable. My mother had a bad sciatic nerve problem, she went to the Bowen therapist twice.....it was gone....that was two years ago. My therapist is the only one listed on the web for Indiana...as you go towards the Left coast they are easier to find.
