Bowe has struggled with injuries this season, missing out on turning out for Ireland and making just six appearances in the RaboDirect PRO12.
But the 30-year-old insists he is raring to go for the season's run-in.
"I went for a stretch of eight years where I never got injured and I maybe took that for granted. But now I'm fit, I'm back playing again and I'm hungry for it," Bowe told the Belfast Telegraph.
"I don't want to get injured again so I'm doing the extra bit of preparation and physio work, rehab work - continually working on that sort of thing so that hopefully that will help me in the future.
"I think the hunger of wanting to get out and get playing again beats the fear of picking up another injury.
"I knew that there was still a huge amount of the current season so I'd that to look forward to and obviously it starts this weekend."
