Prerequisites: none, although good foundations in anatomy and a complementary therapy may be helpful. In this module students learn the core principals of the Bowen Technique and procedures for addressing the lower back, upper and mid-back and neck and shoulders. These procedures are prerequisite to many of the procedures taught in the other modules. The core procedures can be used to re-balance a client, to set a good foundation for further work, and to address specific back and neck pain. In addition, you will also learn procedures that address the kidney area and the head.
