Bowen Therapy

Bowen therapy works on the autonomic nervous system and puts us into the parasympathetic state so the body can heal.

The Bowen technique is a very gentle form of natural healing that works on the fascia. It can address many issues such as;

  • migraines

  • repetitive strain injuries

  • frozen shoulder

  • planter fasciitis

  • respiratory and digestive issues

  • infertility

    to name a few.

A bowen therapy treatment consists of applying a sequence of small moves at various pressures at each specified area of the body. Patients can feel instant relief after the first session but for some it may take up to three sessions. Bowen therapy has been seen to help in the treatment for long term conditions. Bowen can not only have powerful effects on posture and structural problems, but our general well-being.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q. IS BOWEN SAFE FOR EVERYONE?

Bowen is safe from babies to elderly. It is safe for pregnant women with certain restrictions.

Q. CAN I COMBINE BOWEN THERAPY WITH OTHER TREATMENTS?

You can have other treatments but they must be spaced at least 5-7 days after a Bowen treatment as it may counteract the action of the Bowen. As the body continues to process the signals for days after the treatment.

Q. ARE THERE ANY INSTRUCTIONS FOR AFTER A TREATMENT?

You should drink plenty of water in the days after your Bowen treatment as this helps to flush out the lymphatic system. Do not do any tough exercise for 24 hours but do get up and walk around at least once every half hour as this also assists in the movement of fluid and lymph around the body. It is best not to undergo any other form of physical therapy for a week after Bowen therapy as it can confuse the body. Examples include massage, physiotherapy, dry needling, acupuncture, ice/heat packs and ultrasound. Please do continue with any treatments and medication your doctor has prescribed..

Q. HOW MANY BOWEN TREATMENTS DO I NEED?

In most cases we plan on a minimum of 3 treatments booked one week apart to start. For some this will be all that is required but for chronic conditions more may be required.

Q. WILL I SUFFER SIDE EFFECTS?

This depends on the individual. Some people have reported having a dull headache but not everyone. For 24 hours after the treatment, you may feel quite tired and any aches may feel slightly worse during that time. This is a good sign though that the body is paying attention and changes are happening. Where others report feeling lighter and energized.
