Thomas Ambrose Bowen was among the last of a special breed of manual therapists in Australia. His kind is unlikely to emerge again, overtaken by the demands, regulations and rules of modern education and training. When, as a young man in the 1940’s, Bowen came into contact with a famous Melbourne healer, little was he to know that this would be a life changing association for thousands of therapists and many more thousand people around the world.
The level of misinformation that evolved to become ‘common knowledge’ about Tom Bowen inspired former journalist turned manual therapist and Bowen Therapy School Director, Col Murray, to set out on a journey to set the record straight. Along the way he tells the story of this very special and often troubled Australian set against the emergence of a remarkable manual healing technique and the jealousies and nonsense that has surfaced in the race to make the work known to the world.
This book is an informative and often humorous romp through the world of natural therapies and the environment in which they operate.
