There have been several studies performed on the effectiveness of Bowen Technique. Some of the case studies and research is detailed below:

Bowen Technique - effects on Ankle and Knee Pain
A study into the effects of Bowen Technique on Ankle and Knee Pain was conducted between June and August 2009. 110 clients received treatments, of which 69% reported a partial recovery and 19% reported a full recovery.
The cause of ankle joint pain is often associated with an imbalance in the mucle tensions around the leg or foot. Bowen is thought to provide a trigger that the body uses to reset muscle spindle length, reducing the tightness within the muscles and tendons, and easing compression on surrounding tissues, such as blood vessels and nerves. Pain relief occurs as the body's natural healing mechanisms are stimulated. |

Bowen Therapy and Back Pain
A study into the effects of Bowen Therapy on Back Pain was conducted in June 2007. The outcome was on the whole very satisfying, not to mention revealing, with almost 90% of treatments given resulting in either a complete or partial recovery.
By triggering a re-balancing of the muscles around the lumbar and pelvic areas, Bowen Therapy may help to stabilise a weak area, reduce compression around the nerve roots or improve circulation to the spinal discs, muscles and joints.
Bowen therapy helps to reduce pain and also improve range of movement throughout the body. |

Bowen Therapy and Asthma
The results of a study with 24 volunteers performed between October 2002 and March 2004 were very positive, evidenced also by the fact that every volunteer reported that they would recommend the Bowen Technique to a fellow Asthma sufferer.
Bowen addresses the individual as an integrated biodynamic system as opposed to his or her isolated ailment. The Asthma condition has a myriad of triggers ranging from emotional trauma, stress levels of the individual, exercise, food and environmental allergens. These factors are so varied, that a holistic therapy like Bowen should be considered as a valid option for the health of an Asthma sufferer.
