What is Bowen Therapy?
Bowen practitioners use small, measured movements over fascia, muscles, tendons, ligaments and nerves, stimulating the body to heal itself. There are essential pauses between moves that allow the body time to respond and begin to heal.
Bowen addresses the whole body, restoring balance through the Autonomic Nervous System. With today’s demands, illnesses and high stress environments our Sympathetic Nervous Systems are in a constant state of over-stimulation, ‘fight, flight, freeze’ mode. Bowen therapy shifts the body’s nervous system into ‘rest, relax, repair’ mode, through targeted and specific movements that are incredibly relaxing and comfortable.

About me.
Chris Symonds living with a neuromuscular condition called Spinal Bulbar Muscular Atrophy, or Kennedys Disease. KD is progressive, without cure or treatment.
To maintain my wellbeing I exercise five days a week and compliment this with Bowen Therapy.
I am a three times World Champion sailor, current and five time winner of Australian Sailings Para Sailor of the Year award.
This year I plan to attend sailing events in the UK during September and Southport Queensland in October. My preparation for these events will include Bowen Therapy
Feb 2023 I fell from my scooter badly fracturing my left shoulder.
The muscles around injury have not repaired to pre injury 18 months later.
About Bec and Bowen therapy
After a recommendation from my Personal Trainer and approval from my Physiotherapist, I approached Bec.
Bec has been providing me with Bowen Therapy at least weekly since March 2024.
For me, the benefits from muscle fatigue are instant and last around three days.
The added positives of total relaxation are something I enjoy in my busy day.
Like many I was sceptical at first before I tried Bowen, but there is no way the therapy can hurt as very gentle on the body.
Thank you Bec for supporting me with Bowen Therapy.

Bec is a gifted Bowen Therapist not only in Bowen but also intuitively. Bec understands the body, mind soul connection & picks up on things while working her Bowen magic combined with a few questions & a conversation she suggests & explains a technique for the issue. She provides relevant information which may also help.
I had a digestion issue & with Bowen this has improved. Also a technique for my bunions has been amazing! My lower back/sciatica is so much better as well.
Bec is respectful, knowledgeable, professional & with an easy going personality relates & engages with me. I always enjoy my Bowen visits not only for the Bowen but the catch up with Bec always feeling relaxed & body a whole lot better.

“Bec from The Sum of You has helped my son to overcome his inner-ear issues and reduced the need for invasive surgeries. After just a couple of sessions his hearing improved and his sinus passages cleared. Highly reccommend!”

“Absolutely amazing!! I cannot reccommend Bec at The Sum of you highly enough. Bowen therapy has helped relive nerve damage in my abdomen which was sustained after 3 c-sections. It has increased my quality of life and is a relaxing and non-invasinsive form of therapy”

I met Bec when recovering from an injury to my arthritic right hip and interested in exploring therapy options. Bowen offered a point of difference in working on the fascia of the body. Years of living with osteoarthritis caused considerable body imbalance with decline in posture and a gait impacted by a worsening limp and restrictions in hip joint mobility.
Physiotherapy provided exercises to strengthen the small supporting hip muscles that were effective but I found that Bowen moves used by Bec helped to realign the fascial planes of the body.
After 3 sessions with Bec I became more aware of my core strength and posture, and was standing straighter and my gait had noticeably improved. Bowen won’t fix my arthritic hip and I may need a replacement in the future but Bowen has provided relief in my day to day mobility at work.
Bec was very professional, from the initial assessment to explaining the moves and techniques she applied. I felt safe, cared for and engaged in the treatment.
Bowen therapy for me will become very much an integral part of keeping my body strong and fit into my sixties. Thank you Bec.
