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 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!

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

This is a very good book. It provided a good balance of information on the subject and a section on application of the technique.
Being a visual person, I wish there would have been an accompanying DVD, but I was very happy with the book.

This is the third time I have ordered this book in multiple quantities. I run a natural health clinic and offer the book as reading material, but clients just can't seem to put it down and are constantly asking to purchase it. Even though we offer a smaller book on the same subject for a fraction of the price, a lot of clients prefer this book by Frank Navratil and are willing to pay for it. As a professional Bowen Practitioner myself, I can account for the accuracy and thouroughness of the book. Definitely 5 stars!

There are very few books available about the Bowen Technique, so it was very nice to find this one, even though I had to send to U.S. for it. The author is a very experienced and knowledgable practitioner and explains the origins and philsophy of the technique very well. The book as well thought out and a very useful resource for the novice and experienced pratitioner too. Good photographic content and well explanation of procedures.

really inresting, a really good general over veiw on Bowen and health issue slowing/deferring healing. very easy to follow and easy to read.

Originally put off by the small size of the "book" but it was full of very clear information. No fluff here just the good stuff.

I received this item in a very good timeframe. I haven't read through it yet; but, what I have read, I was thoroughly impressed.Bowen Therapy: Tom Bowen's Gift to the World
