Treatment

Treatments on average last about 45 min and are given on a massage table, though the first visit will be a little longer to facilitate consultation and take notes. More than one treatment can be given but it is entirely up to the individual and how they are progressing. Some clients like to come back for a regular top up session. Bowen can be performed on light clothing although skin contact is preferred. A cotton vest and jogging bottoms are acceptable.

During the treatment the body is allowed to rest between each set of moves, the practitioner will quietly leave the room for a few minutes at a time to allow the client's body to absorb the information it has received and begin the healing process.

There are 7 days between visits and this must be adhered to as closely as possible. During this time it is also important that you undertake no other therapies. The treatment that you receive from a physiotherapist, chiropractor or masseuse will negate the work that Bowen does for you.

Practitioners don't diagnose nor prescribe or alter medication.
