Tom Bowen was born in 1916 in Brunswick, Australia. He treated the aches and pains of the people with whom he worked in the cement works and woollen mill in Geelong. In the 1960s, he opened his own clinic. During the 1970s Tom Bowen was treating 13,000 people a year. He died in 1982.

The Bowen technique is now being taught to final year university students of Osteopathy in Australia.

Bowen practitioners treat people holistically. People present with a wide range of aches and pains, injuries and health problems. There are no contra-indications to treatment. However, Bowen practitioners will always advise people to consult their doctors if there is any doubt over whether or not to treat. The Bowen Technique is not intended as a substitute for medical advice or treatment.
