Founded by Thomas Ambrose Bowen (1916–1982) in Australia, Bowen Therapy, also known as Bowtech, is a remedial bodywork technique. Bowen Therapy gently works with the fascia and may facilitate healing musculoskeletal problems, injuries, organic, and chronic conditions. Gentle hand movements are performed on muscles, tendons, and ligaments, as well as the fascia. The aim of this approach is to reduce pain through nervous system stimulation.

Remedial massage involves the assessment and personalized treatment of muscles, tendons, ligaments, and connective tissues. Therapists trained in this field locate the source of pain by examining these structures and posture. They then administer targeted massages to enhance blood circulation, improve joint mobility, and aid tissue repair. Remedial massage therapists usually have specific objectives, such as addressing knee, shoulder, or back injuries, which may necessitate multiple sessions. This type of massage can assist with various conditions, including neck, shoulder, and back pain, injury prevention, headaches, fatigue, arthritis, anxiety/depression, diabetes-related symptoms, and addiction recovery.
