The Bowen Practitioners Association of North America was formed by groups of devoted and learned practitioners in Canada and USA who desired a voice in the future of their own profession, thereby developing a unified body to represent them.
BPANA is now a non-profit organization run by an executive committee. The committee’s main role is to advise and formulate new policies, protect the legal rights of its affiliates, ensure professional practice, teaching/training and education standards and promote the awareness and effectiveness of Bowen throughout North America and the world.
With our objectives ever expanding, presently our mission is:
•To provide an effective voice for Bowen Therapy and Bowen Therapists with government, legal matters, health funds and the general public (our clients),
•To increase public awareness and understanding of Bowen Therapy, its history and its success in treating a wide range of musculo-skeletal and associated problems afflicting many individuals from infants to the elderly,
•To promote confidence in Bowen Therapy as a primary choice in the field of complementary, natural and traditional therapies,
•To develop increasing professionalism and high standards of professional practice among its members through formal studies and continuing professional education requirements,
•To provide inputs in the development of relevant legislation affecting complementary health, particularly Bowen Therapy, that is in the public interest, including the opposition of legislation which, for any reason is considered inappropriate or against the public interest in this field,
•To ensure that the public, our clients, have access to a body that has a vested interest in their welfare when using the services of registered Bowen Therapists and to emphasize the importance of checking that practitioners or therapists are registered with the Bowen Association of North America here in Canada and USA,
•To provide a source of information, and also a referral service: listing registered practitioners by region.
