To train as a Bowen practitioner you must first start with a "Core Bowen" course.
There are several interpretations of the work of Tom Bowen being taught under the name 'Bowen Technique', 'Bowen Therapy', or another name. Depending on your previous therapy experience or medical training, you may wish to select a "Core Bowen" course that adopts similar examination or testing strategies. Contact a school or tutor directly to be given more information about the way they teach Bowen Therapy and how they examine clients beforehand.
All "Core Bowen" courses should now require a prior knowledge of anatomy and physiology, if not taught alongside Bowen Techniques. There are basic online A&P courses you can take prior to studying a full Level 3 diploma in Anatomy, Physiology and Pathology (a requirement for qualifying in Bowen Therapy, in accordance with the 2020 Bowen Therapy Core Curriculum).
Postgraduate CPD courses enable you to keep your skills up-to-date after your initial "Core Bowen" training.
Each hour of hands-on training counts towards your "Core Bowen" Training or Bowen CPD requirement.
