Tom Bowen’s wife suffered from severe asthma until he developed a Bowen technique for this.

Bowen can not only reduce the severity of attacks very quickly, and effectively, but also the frequency of attacks.

Treatment usually does not need to be continuous, and often just a very few sessions will change the situation for the sufferer. As with any allergy, the avoidance of contact with the allergen is an essential part of the treatment. However, what Bowen does seem to achieve very often is the release of tightness in the chest which aids both asthmatics and other respiratory sufferers.
