Sports injury is a field of remedial therapy that is becoming very aware of the Bowen Technique. Not only do sportsmen and women report fewer injuries when treated regularly but they also notice an increase in performance. The Bowen Technique is being used at high levels of sport in this country, with rugby clubs and premiership football clubs showing interest.
