What to expect at your first Bowen Therapy session

• Upon arrival you will be greeted and asked to fill out some paperwork regarding your personal details, a brief history and the reason for your visit;
• The treatment can be performed through light loose fitting clothing or on bare skin;
• I will perform a few gentle moves, by drawing the skin slack, nudging up against the edge of the muscle, tendon and then rolling over the muscle or tendon;
• The receptors of the muscle or tendon are engaged, and a message is sent to your brain about what state the body is in;
• During the session there are pauses or ‘breaks’ between sets of moves where I will leave the room, allowing you to relax and your body to integrate what has just been done.  These breaks are approximately 2 minutes in duration;
• This will continue until the session has finished;
• Once the treatment is finished, and you go home, remember to drink plenty of water, walk around to integrate the body changes and wait for the body to respond to the messages it has received​;
• Sessions may last between 30 minutes and an hour depending on the problem and on your response.  The length of the session does not relate to the efficacy of the Bowen Technique.  Often less is more.
