After Bowen Treatment

The Week After the Treatment

Continue to walk least 20 minutes each day, or take two or three short walks. This helps clean out the body's "pumps" and move the pain out.

2. CONTINUE TO TAKE IT EASY
Reserve your energy for healing your body.

3. DRINK LOTS OF WATER
Drink 8-10 glasses per day to flush the pain out.

Bowen Therapy Treatment

A Bowen Treatment


A Bowen treatment lasts about 30-45 minutes. Most of the work can be done through light clothing. No oils are used.

During a Bowen session, the practitioner uses thumbs and fingers to make rolling type moves on different muscles on the body. There are times when the therapist actually leaves the room. During the pauses, the body has time to make its own adjustments, which help relieve tension and reduce pain.

Many people experience pain relief after just one session. Two or three treatments are usually enough to achieve long-lasting relief. Even long-term conditions may respond very quickly.

The ideal situation is to give the Bowen Technique a try for 3 sessions, once per week, without having any other kind of bodywork in between.
