What is a Bowen
session like?
A Bowen session is a gentle and relaxing experience. During
a Bowen session it is not uncommon for patients to fall asleep
or become deeply relaxed. The treatment is non-invasive,
gentle and safe.
- Sessions last around 40 - 50 minutes (first
visit 1 hour)
- The patient usually remains fully clothed, so light and loose
clothing is essential
- The practitioner will leave the room for a few minutes between
moves. This is a very important aspect of Bowen treatment
and will allow your body to rest and absorb the movements
- Treatments are 7 - 10 days apart
Three to five treatments at weekly intervals are often sufficient
to achieve lasting relief from even long-standing complaints.
Occasionally, patients achieve a complete resolution of their
condition. Some extreme or chronic conditions may require
extended treatment.
As well as being consistent at relieving pain, many people
report an overall feeling of well being and recovery of energy
after a course of Bowen treatment.
Bowen is referred to as 'complimentary therapy' and will
not interfere with other more conventional treatment, including
medication. However, to gain the maximum benefit from Bowen
therapy, it is strongly recommended that other physical therapies
are not undertaken while you are receiving Bowen treatment
e.g .Aromatherapy/massage, Reflexology, Reiki.
