Bowen technique may be used for relaxation of tightening muscles in poor posture. The findings suggest that Bowen Therapy has inconsistent immediate effects on postural control and pain threshold in healthy subjects. Further studies are needed using symptomatic participants. No previous randomized control trial, to our knowledge, has investigated the effectiveness of Bowen's technique on health status in dentists suffering from postural neck pain. Moreover, there is limited evidence and low agreement regarding the effect of Bowen's therapy on neck pain. Thus, this study aims to answer the question: Bowen's technique is effective for improving neck pain dentists' function by reducing pain, and disability, and improving posture, and health status, without need for ergonomic alternation?"
