What To Expect
-
Consultation
Call or Email to Book
Book your Consultation prior to your first treatment. During your Consultation discuss with your Bowen Therapist about your health history, any specific concerns you might have, and your overall well-being. This is important because it helps the therapist tailor the treatment to your needs. -
During a Bowen Treatment
The Treatment Environment
The session takes place in a comfortable, quiet room on a treatment table, the treatment is typically 60 minutes done on skin.Gentle Moves
Bowen Therapy is performed using a series of small, precise movements. The therapist will use their fingers and thumbs to gently roll over specific points on your body, applying light pressure. These moves are mostly subtle and stimulate the muscles, fascia (connective tissue), and nervous system.Sensation of Healing
Tingling, warmth or sense of energy may occur. Some people experience muscle twitching or shaking as tension is released. These sensations are often temporary and may indicate that your body is responding to Bowen. Your therapist will often pause for a short period (around 1-2 minutes) as your body begins to adjust to the release of fascia and tension in your body for the energy to circulate. These pauses are just as important as the movements themselves.
No Pain, Just Relaxation
Expect to feel deep relaxation, most people will sleep throughout their session. -
After Care
After your Treatment
Your therapist may provide guidance on how to care for your body, like drinking plenty of water, walking at regular intervals, or avoiding strenuous activities. Some people experience a sense of relief and relaxation immediately after the treatment, while for others, the benefits may become more noticeable over the following days. Allow 5-7 days for Bowen to integrate. Trust your body is adapting and allowing Bowen Technique to take hold.
Avoid excessive exercise and other modalities that may undo the subtle Bowen Technique and it’s effectiveness
Follow-Up Sessions
Bowen Therapy is often most effective with a series of treatments. Depending on your condition, follow-up sessions are typically spaced a few days to a week apart. The therapist will recommend a plan based on your individual needs and response to the therapy.
