Can my clothes stay on? Yes! Bowen moves can be done either directly onto the skin or through light clothing such as a cotton t-shirt.
How long between treatments? 5-7 days between the first two treatments is ideal, up to 10 days. Depending on the circumstances a third treatment may be necessary at two weeks.
What can Bowen help with? Almost anything! Bowen can assist with breathing, digestion, pain of any sort, pregnancy, post-partum care, mental health, stress relief, migraines, hormonal issues, better sleep, balance, concussion recovery… an almost endless list of ailments can be treated by bowen.
What does it feel like? Gentle pressure applied to very specific parts of the body, followed with a gentle move of a therapist’s fingers or thumbs in a certain direction, followed by a pause from the therapist. As boring as that sounds, it is incredibly relaxing. An hour to just focus on you and unwind!
How is it working? The moves send messages throughout your body to shift your nervous system into ‘rest and repair’ mode. Bowen unlocks your bodies innate wisdom to heal itself – without any Voodoo, crystals, witchcraft or wizardry. Simple, gentle and effective!
