Poll: Are swear words no longer?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Bowen Therapy

Annemarie from Holistic Health Taranaki

The gentle fascia release through Bowen Therapy can help reduce pain, tension and discomfort. It can help increase range of motion, energy, and relaxation. It can positively affect many acute and chronic issues.

Here's what some of my clients tell me:

“I’m 32 weeks pregnant and my lower back pain has reduced so much.”
“How can something so gentle, be so effective?!”
