TIM WILLCOCKS is a therapist and teacher living in Malvern and is known in Worcester and Gloucester as The Bowen Man from his Bowen-NST treatments locally and NST teaching internationally.
About Tim
I am a fully qualified therapist practising Bowen Therapy and Neurostructural Integration Technique (NST), and also using Reflexology or the Q2 Energy Spa where appropriate.
I also teach the NST Introductory Course in Malvern, around in the UK, and worldwide.
Every treatment I give (mostly in Malvern) is an adventure, and every course I teach has an element of excitement!
TRAINING AND QUALIFICATIONS
I first trained in Bowen with Julian Baker (European College of Bowen Studies - ECBS) in 1995, and qualified with Ozzie Rentsch, former student of Tom Bowen and founder of Bowen Therapy Academy of Australia.
I took a quantum leap with NST-Bowen, studying this under its developer Michael Nixon-Livy in 2002.
Of course I am a member of the Bowen Therapy Professional Association (BTPA), the governing body in the UK.
EXPERIENCE
I have been referred to as ‘The Bowen Man’ for the past fourteen years – from my work in clinics, shows and exhibitions in England and around the world. My website and Facebook pages can also be accessed by putting in ‘The Bowen Man’.
I have given workshops on ‘The Bowen World’ for the past ten years, and for four years have been an instructor for the official NST Introductory Course, teaching this in the UK, Canada, New Zealand - and most enjoyably of all in Greece.
Coming from a background of engineering, hand-textile consultant and school teaching I first qualified in spiritual healing and reflexology before discovering the thrilling world of Tom Bowen’s incredible skills.
I have introduced these skills to the Glastonbury Festival, and have also practiced and taught in Spain, Slovakia and Canada. I travelled to Bosnia four times to assist the Healing Hands Network in working with victims of war and post traumatic stress - really soul-searching work.
I welcome invitations to other locations to teach courses.

About Neurostructural Integration Technique (NST)
For novices this course is to ‘test the water’ of therapy to see if this is for you.
For practitioners NST offers a very effective treatment for many conditions, and it is gentle to practice… no more heavy-duty massage, bodily contortions or ‘reflexologist thumbs’!
Clients may be treated through light clothing, and this increases practice efficiency.
For the client results are more readily obtained and sustained.
The approach is holistic, and allows a number of conditions to receive treatment in a session. - Be trained in a new approach to hands-on bodywork.
- Address back and neck pain, asthma and breathing difficulties, creaky knees, TMJ, - and more.
- Learn to give a full ʻenergetic body balanceʼ in two days.

Testimonials
“Just wished to say thank you for my Bowen treatment this afternoon. I am now feeling much brighter and not in so much pain. I had forgotten how effective and subtle Bowen is, truly amazing, thank you."
Tracy B. Jan 2014
“Mark (aged 49) is so chuffed. It’s the first time he’s ever had a therapy that’s had any effect, and it’s the first time since he can remember that his body feels straight and he hasn’t been in agony when he first gets up in the morning and walks down the stairs."
Tara G. July 2010
“Back and neck pain. Infertility. Karen came for the pain in her upper back and neck, and for headaches. IVF treatment had been unsuccessful. After treatment one arm became very painful for two days, then everything ‘freed up’, including a painful knee. Headaches eased off after two sessions, and eating habits improved. The last five sessions were to address her reproductive system. After the fifth she felt great pain in the groin area, and ‘different’ the next day, as if something ‘had shifted’. Following further IVF treatment (or was it her husband?) she is now a happy mum again!"
Malvern, 2000
“Juanita pulled a hamstring during bowling. A previous similar experience had required massage twice a week for 3-4 months.
The leg was even more painful for a day following the first treatment, but the hamstring pain then disappeared; a slight residual twinge down the leg was fully resolved after a second session. "
Malvern, 1999
“You expect to get pulled about in a treatment... but not this Bowen stuff... well, after two days the pain was dramatically reduced... Amazing!"
Alan, Town Crier, Gloucester, 1997
