What is Equine Bowen?
Equine Bowen Therapy is a gentle, hands-on technique that uses subtle, rolling movements over key muscles and soft tissues to activate your horse's natural self-healing response. This non-invasive therapy works through the nervous system to promote balance in the body, helping to improve circulation, reduce muscle tension, and increase flexibility and range of motion.
Commonly used for horses experiencing stiffness, unexplained lameness, behavioural changes, or pain-related issues, Bowen Therapy offers a calming and holistic approach to healing — without the need for forceful manipulation or medication. It's also widely used to support injury recovery, enhance performance, and maintain overall equine well-being.

Common Conditions Helped
At Surrey Equine Bowen, we specialise in helping horses overcome a range of musculoskeletal, performance, and behavioural issues through gentle, non-invasive Bowen Therapy. Based in Surrey and serving the surrounding areas, our holistic approach supports your horse's health, comfort, and performance naturally.
Equine Bowen Therapy may help horses showing signs of:
- Equine back pain or sensitivity along the spine
- Uneven stride or irregular gait
- Lameness without a clear cause
- Stiffness or resistance in movement
- Muscle soreness or tension buildup
- Reduced performance in competition or training
- Behavioural changes linked to physical discomfort
- Saddle sensitivity or difficulty with tack
- Issues with collection, bending, or transitions
Whether your horse is competing, in training, recovering from injury, or simply in need of regular support, Surrey Equine Bowen provides a natural, effective solution. Many horse owners across Surrey and the South East report significant improvements in movement, attitude, and overall well-being.
Bowen Therapy is suitable for horses of all ages and disciplines — from leisure ponies to elite performers — and can be a valuable addition to any horse's wellness plan.

What happens during a treatment?
During a Surrey Equine Bowen session, the practitioner uses gentle, rolling movements with their fingers, thumbs, or hands over specific areas of the horse's muscles, tendons, and fascia. These movements are applied in a carefully structured sequence, with brief pauses between each set to give the horse's nervous system time to register and respond.
These intentional breaks are a key part of the treatment — allowing the body to process the input, release muscular tension, and activate its natural self-healing mechanisms. Horses often show signs of deep relaxation during the session, and many display positive physical and behavioural changes as they let go of stress and begin to regain balance and comfort.
