Ros Elliott-Özlek: Bowen Instructor

Ros has been working with Bowen since 2002, starting her training in London and qualifying as an instructor in 2011 for Australia’s Bowen Academy (BTAA), the Bowen Association UK (BAuk), and establishing the Turkish Bowen Association.

Since 2019 Ros has developed her Bowen skills working on scar tissue to remodel the fibrous tissue so that vital nutrients can once again flow through these ‘walls’ left by surgery, laparoscopy or injuries like torn muscles and bruising.

The results of such remodeling can often seem miraculous, with surface appearance and even deeper levels of fascia softening and affecting structures far away from the scar site – ‘frozen’ shoulders may suddenly release; carpal tunnel problems can disappear, and even problems with internal organs (such as ovaries, liver or kidneys) can heal overnight.

Ros currently works in Izmir but sometimes organises courses, therapy sessions and introductory talks in other cities – such as Istanbul, Ankara, AAntalya and Bodrum among others. Please see contact details.

Originally trained in London as a teacher OF ballet, modern dance and music, (Dip. LCDD; ARCM clarinet; BA Hons), Ros then trained as a Benesh choreologist (Dip. BMN), leading to her position in Ankara, Turkey to build the Choreology Department for Hacettepe University’s State Conservatoire. She has been teaching Yoga for nearly 30 years (Dip. British School of Yoga).

“My training as a teacher in Dance, Music and Choreology ran alongside a deep interest in health and healing injuries, and I trained as a Bowen Therapist after becoming a Yoga Therapy teacher.

I helped out at osteopathy/acupuncture/health clinics during my student days and have also studied other forms of healing such as Reiki, Distant Healing, Homeopathy, Herbalism and Massage.

Recently I have started to use Iridology Iris assessment of the eyes to help in assessing clients’ issues, having only used Iridology and naturopathy on myself since 1987.

I find Bowen invaluable in treating patients from all walks of life.”

Welcome to the Turkish home of the Original Bowen Technique, or Bowtech, a dynamic system of muscle and connective tissue therapy. Developed in Australia by Tom Bowen, it is now being practised in over thirty countries.

How Does Bowen Work?
The body is in constant motion trying to sustain balance – homeostasis – in every system. It has an innate ability to heal itself if given a chance. However, nothing can heal until the person is relaxed. When the body is in the rest, digest, repair mode (parasympathetic), then the healing process begins, as Bowen asks the body to switch gears and relax into the parasympathetic.

From there Bowen works with the body to open up fascia and release tension in muscles and tendons. This helps re-align bones so that joints can move in full range with ease, allowing more oxygen and blood to circulate. The body cavities then find they have more room so that organs can function better, nerves aren’t pinched, muscles move smoothly and energy flows freely. The lymphatic system is stimulated to remove toxins, bring in nutrients, and improve hydration for better function right down to the single cell. This in turn affects the chemical, hormonal and electrical systems influencing the emotions and thought. All this with gentle contact through the fascia, sensory receptors and the nervous systems of the body.

How Safe is the Bowen Technique?
The Bowen Technique uses such a gentle level of touch that it is considered to be one of the safest of therapies. Indeed, it is so non-invasive and gentle that it is not uncommon for clients to fall asleep during treatment. This gentleness means that it is ideal for use on people of all ages – from newborns through to the elderly – with all manner of problems.

How do I know if a practitioner is qualified?
Practitioners registered with the Bowen Association are entitled to use the letters BTA or BTAA after their name. Training courses consist of a number of practical and written assessments, as well as a complete set of coursework. Many practitioners are already physiotherapists or osteopaths, while others come from a background in sports massage, reflexology or healing.
