This miraculous method has been responsible for so many success stories regarding relief of pain and allows the body to self-heal.

A beautiful, inspirational book
Jan 10 2004
One of the best, inspirational books I have read in a long time. Frank Navratil explains in a wonderful way about this long mysterious Australian method, in a clear and inspirational way. After reading this book, I was motivated to take a course in Bowen therapy as well as to undergo this therapy for my health problems. It truly is a miraculous method that I think eveyone should know about especially if you have any kind of pain, migraines, or just about any other health problems.
I believe it is one of the long lost secrets to discovering more about how to improve your health. I sincerely recommend you read this book.

Totally disppointed
Aug 6 2006
¡Totally disappointed! I bought this book thinking I could learn to do some Bowen therapy, but... after the title page you can read "It is not intended for use un practice except by qualified accredited practitioners who have undergone practice training in the Bowen method".
And on page 14: "This book is designed as resource for patients..." and on page 77 "Please note that this is not a complete manual on how to perform the Bowen Method".
I read the Chapter 12 "The Bowen Move": At the beginning you can read "Probably the most fundamental component of Bowen Therapy is the move itself". Well, I couldn't understand this chapter. To me is unclear and confusing.
So, if you want to learn Bowen Therapy do not waste your money buying this book. And if you are a patient, you don't have to buy the book ¡It's cheaper to ask the Practitioner!

Excellent book on the Bowen Technique
Mar 3 2006
This book gave good clear information. The background information was very informative and the section which dealt with the moves clear and precise. I particularly liked the way Frank included information on the kind of aliments each of the group of moves would aid.
I think this is a book for everyone and a valuable addition to have for anyone studying the Bowen Technique
