BOWEN THERAPY
Are you ready for long lasting pain relief ?What happens during a bowen session?
During a Bowen session a series of moves are performed on the body through lightweight clothing or on the skin. After each set of moves, a few minutes pause is needed where the practitioner leaves the treatment room to allow the body to integrate them.A session can last 20 minutes to 1 hour.
How often should I go?
It’s highly recommended that the client commit to at least 21 day re-patterning schedule (3 sessions), coming in for a treatment every 7 days. This establishes a pattern of healing in the system (if this isn’t established the client may not get the desirable results).
What happens after a bowen session?
After a treatment, you will feel relaxed and probably have more energy. Once the session is over it is important to drink more water than usual and walk regularly.
Depending on your condition, you may experience immediate relief, or a gradual improvement over time. As an added bonus, one of the side effects of Bowen is that other, completely unrelated conditions will often correct themselves. Homeopathy,Naturopathy, and Nutrition function well in conjunction with Bowen therapy. However, treatments affecting deep tissue, when used within a week of a Bowen therapy treatment, will usually counteract the Bowen’s action (massage, chiropractic or physiotherapy). If you plan to combine Bowen with any other modality, please be sure to discuss an appropriate treatment with your Bowen therapist.
So instead of specifically treating one area, Bowen treats the body as a whole, because the body works as a whole integrated unit. Once the muscle tissues are activated the body sends neurological impulses to the brain, which in return relax the muscles and the nerves that are not working properly.
Bowen therapy is completely non-invasive. No needles, drugs, nor machines are required. It is safe for everyone from newborns to the elderly including expectant mother.
A little background on Bowen therapy…
Bowen Therapy was developed in Australia by Tom Bowen (1916-1982). After years of clinical work and much reading and studying of other modalities, he developed a unique set of specific moves associated with different sequences and timing intervals. He noticed that when he made certain moves on body, it had particular effects. He always stated that the therapy was simple a ‘Gift from God’. Bowen is now practiced in more then 40 countries.
