Neuro-Structural Integration Technique¨ is based on the work of the late Tom Bowen, of Australia. It is simple, yet subtle; remarkably easy on both practitioner and client, yet profound and lasting in its effect.

Tom Bowen developed his work between the mid 1950’s and 1982, when he passed away. Though not formally trained or licensed as such, he considered himself an osteopath, but referred to his work simply as Soft Tissue Therapy. He started his career by working with junior football clubs in Victoria, Australia, as a masseur, and treated the general public at home after hours.

Bowen quickly discovered that he had what can only be described as an extreme hypersensitivity of the fingers and hands, which apparently enabled him to feel nerve vibrationsÓ and consequently find blockages in the nervous and muscular systems. In fact, often times during experiments when working on somebody, if he performed a move as he called them, which was wrong, then he would receive a burning sensation in the fingers so hot that it would necessitate his quickly leaving the room to cool his fingers under cold running water. Add to this unique ability of touch, a discerning eye for variation in surface tension on his patientsÕ bodies, and you have a rare and powerful experimental methodology for probing the body.

Bowen became famous throughout his career for being able to cure the incurable and find solutions where none seemed possible. He treated everybody the same, from street drunkards to the well-known and powerful, refusing to accept payment for children, invalids, those with neurological conditions, and a variety of municipal and civic employed individuals.
