Thomas A. Bowen (1916-1982) developed this technique in Geelong, Victoria Australia. After serving in World War II, he became interested in ways to alleviate human suffering and began to notice that certain moves on the body had particular effects. Tom Bowen began to develop his technique by making observations of different symptoms of ill health or pain etc. He had an uncanny ability to observe people and drew remarkably accurate conclusions as to root cause of their pain. He was a deeply religious man and would often say that the development of his therapeutic work was a "GIFT OF GOD". He continued to develop and refine the technique throughout his lifetime.

In 1974, while attending a National Health Conference in Adelaide, Australia, Tom was introduced to Osteopath and Natural Therapist, Oswald Rentsch. Although Oswald (popularly called Ossie) knew nothing of Bowen's work, he spontaneously asked if he could train with Bowen. Bowen subsequently invited Ossie (Oswald) to Geelong to study with him.  During the next two and half years Ossie and his wife Elaine studied Bowen's technique, ultimately being authorized by Bowen to document his work. Honoring Tom Bowen's request to teach his work after his death, Ossie and Elaine named it "The Bowen Technique" and held their First Seminar in Perth Australia in 1986 and by 1990, the Rentsch's were teaching full time. Dedicated to preserving the technique and ensuring that it was taught in its original form, they founded the Bowen Therapy Academy of Australia in 1987, eventually naming the technique - Bowtech - The Bowen Technique. 

Since then they have introduced Bowtech to many countries. They are now supported in this teaching by a large faculty of dedicated instructors, who are accredited by and registered with the Academy.
