Farida Irani, Senior Bowtech Instructor for Australia and international sectors, together with her daughter Khursheed Irani, an International Bowtech Instructor, has been providing clinical natural therapy services and professional education for over 30 years.

Based in Sydney and working internationally, Farida and Khursheed have played a significant role in the development and advancement of Bowtech, including establishing the original Bowtech training in India and Taiwan. Their extensive clinical experience, teaching expertise, and commitment to natural therapies have supported practitioners and clients across Australia and overseas.

Bowen Therapy is a non-invasive State of the Art Technique and has profound effects on various chronic disorders including degenerated spine, arthritis, rheumatism, stress, chronic fatigue, acidity, fractures, sprains, sports injuries, musculoskeletal disorders, asthma, nervous disorders, mental and emotional equilibrium, women’s problems including fertility and many other ailments. Sometimes called the homeopathy of bodywork, it utilizes subtle inputs to the body (known as moves), stimulating the body to heal itself. Specific moves are made on ligaments, tendons or muscles which most likely activate the Golgi receptors and send signals to the brain, the neurological pathways, the fascia, also activating the meridians, and the electromagnetic field of the person. Unlike other treatments, the body does its own rectification and the will of the practitioner is not imposed on the client. It has been suggested that the Bowen Technique may introduce specific harmonic frequencies to the body systems on the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual levels. It complements conventional medicine.

The Bowen technique offers tremendous benefit to clients with very little effort on the part of the practitioner. Bowen Technique addresses the entire body, by restoring balance via the autonomic nervous system (ANS). The ANS controls over 80% of bodily functions and is very susceptible to external stressors.

In today’s fast-paced world, many of us spend much of our time in a heightened state of stress, with the nervous system stuck in “fight, flight or freeze” mode. For the body to rest, recover and repair, the nervous system needs to shift into its parasympathetic state - “rest, relax and repair” mode.

Bowen Therapy gently supports this shift, helping the nervous system move from a state of stress and tension towards greater calm, balance and relaxation. This creates a more supportive environment for the body’s natural processes of recovery and repair.
