Home About BAA Keeping Bowen 'Bowen'

When there is a therapy as simple and as effective as Bowen Technique is, there is always a temptation to improve it. It is the joint goal of the Association and the Academy to work together to keep Bowen as shown and authenticated by Tom Bowen to Ossie Rentsch. The Bowen Academy teaches Bowen Technique as Tom Bowen himself did it, and all the instructors who teach with the Academy are committed to follow. All practitioners in the Association have been taught the same form of Bowen Technique.

There are other forms of Bowen taught and practiced, either as Bowen Technique or under other names. Many of these are based on the original teaching of Ossie and Elaine Rentsch, but with pieces of other therapies added in. The total effectiveness of Bowen Technique depends on not mixing it with other therapies, so our common aim is to keep the therapy as effective and successful as it was originally developed to be.

The Bowen Association of Australia is the only association of Bowen practitioners in Australia who have all been trained to perform the original form of Bowen Technique. We are linked through the Bowen Academy with associations in other countries that are also committed to Bowtech ®, the Bowen Technique, and keeping Bowen "Bowen".
