Is Bowen Therapy a type of massage?

Bowen Therapy is not massage but it is a type of bodywork. Bowen Therapy is gentler and more precise than massage. Bowen moves stimulate the body's own inate healing potential allowing for a very powerful response. A Bowen practitioner starts this process but the body does the rest. With massage it is the practitioner that endeavours to bring about healing in the body through their manual kneading and massaging.
