Research & Evidence
INTRODUCTION
At Bowen Life, the therapies I offer are grounded in evidence — not just tradition or anecdote.
This page brings together peer-reviewed research, clinical studies and recommended reading across Bowen Therapy, PEMF and BWRT. I update it as new research emerges.
If you'd like to discuss any of these resources or understand how the evidence applies to your specific situation, I'm happy to have that conversation.
