Tom Bowen was born in Australia in April 1916 and died in 1982 ironically of health complications at the age of 66 years.

He started his therapeutic career by working with junior football clubs in Victoria, Australia, as a masseur and treated the general public at home after hours.

Early in his career, Bowen discovered that he had what can only be described as an extreme hypersensitivity of the fingers and hands, which apparently enabled him to feel nerve transmission and consequently find blockages in the nervous and muscular systems.

Add to this unique ability of touch, a discerning eye for variation in the muscular surface tension on his client’s body, you have a man with a rare and powerful experimental methodology for probing the body.

There is absolutely no doubt that Bowen demonstrated, genius-like abilities with the development of his unique work.

According to his own conservative estimates he consistently achieved around an 88% success rate in just two to three sessions.

Bowen became famous throughout his career for being able to cure the incurable, and find solutions when none seemed possible. He treated everybody the same, from street drunkards to the well known and powerful.

Like so many artists and geniuses whose work continues to grow and prosper well after their death, Bowen’s work in all its forms is becoming generally known around the world as Bowen Therapy and continues to grow in popularity amongst a wide variety of therapist groups.
