What to expect from a Bowen Session
A Bowen session is performed on skin or through light clothing.
The client usually lies on a massage table, bed, or can be seated in a chair (in the case of a heavily pregnant womam, elderly person with little mobility or if you are unable to comfortably lie down on a bed or massage table for any other reason)
Sessions generally last between 20 mins to 1 hour.
Bowen moves generally progress from the spine outward to the extremities, depending on the clients needs.
There are frequent pauses between the moves when the practitioner may leave the room. These pauses allow the clients body time to respond and integrate the moves allowing the healing process to begin.
This is why it is important for the client to relax quietly to allow the brain time to 'hear' the information that is being given. This is also why no music is played and talking is kept to a minimum unless the client feels the need to express something to the practitioner.
First Bowen therapy Session
- Drink plenty of water beforehand
- Wear loose comfortable clothing
- We will go through the client questionnaire
- Begin balancing of the clients body so we can identify problem areas to be addressed in future sessions
You do not need to be unwell to enjoy and benefit from a Bowen session. We are living in times where we are having to take more personal responsibility for our health. Free medical and hospitalisation is fast becoming a thing of the past and soaring insurance costs are practically unaffordable. Bowen is an extremely relaxing technique that can help to keep your body balanced and in good health. Many people receive treatments on a regular basis just as they would a massage.
