Area 01
Bowen Therapy is a gentle manual technique: short sets of movements over muscle and fascia, separated by pauses in which the therapist leaves the room or stops entirely. The pauses are not wasted time; they are part of the method.

Gentle movements over muscle and fascia, with deliberate pauses between them. No joint manipulation, no force.
There is no joint manipulation, no force is used and no work is done through pain. The movements are made through thin clothing, and a session usually lasts under an hour.
I chose to add Bowen to my practice because it works on ground that clinical medicine reaches only with difficulty: the tension that settled in the body and stayed there after the cause had passed. It is not an alternative to medical treatment; it is something I put beside it.
You tell me what brings you, since when, what you have already tried and what conditions or treatments you have. I do not skip this part: I am a doctor before I am a Bowen therapist.
You stay dressed, on the table. I make short sets of movements, at set points, with pauses between them. The pauses are deliberate and part of the technique.
During them I leave you alone for a few minutes. Many people fall asleep. That is fine, and in fact a good sign.
I tell you what I noticed, what to watch for over the following days and whether a second session makes sense. The standard advice is to drink water and move normally.
The same gentle movements, adapted for the animal. It is done without restraint: the animal stays free, and the session stops when it asks for it to stop, not when I have finished my list.
With animals the technique is done in shorter sessions and with even more pauses. The animal is neither held down nor forced: if it gets up and walks off, that is its pause and we respect it.
The owner stays in the room. They are the one who knows the animal and who notices, over the following days, what has changed in the way it moves, rests or reacts.
It is normal for the animal to drink more water than usual, so it needs constant access to fresh water. Light, controlled movement, for dogs a walk on the leash and on stable ground, and other manual therapies are left aside for 5 days.
I am qualified on the veterinary side as well, so I read the animal's history and the clinic's documents myself rather than taking them by description alone.
No treatment prescribed by the vet is stopped or changed.
Injury, acute pain, refusing food, difficulty breathing: straight to the vet or to veterinary emergency care.
The first film plays right here, in Romanian. Below it are the TV programmes where I explained the method; those open on YouTube.

Call and tell me briefly what brings you. If your situation calls for something other than what I do, I will say so in the first conversation.
