Therapy

Please wear loose, comfortable clothing. Tight fitting / lycra or thick layers & large seams in some clothing may make it difficult to provide effective treatment.

A short questionnaire, outlining any past or current medical problems you may have, this may include any current medications you may be prescribed. All information is treated with strict confidentiality.

Assessment of any pain or difficulty with movement.

Treatments are tailored to each client. Bowen uses a technique which is a type of physical manipulation. There are occasionally some wait periods during the treatment of 2-5 mins, to allow the body to respond. Each person may react differently. Some people feel relaxed, whilst others may feel sore, stiff or discomfort. This can take a few days to settle.

Gentle exercises may be recommended to complement your treatment.

Bowen can take a few days or even longer to take full effect.

It is recommended that treatments are at least 5-7 days apart to allow for this. However if you have an acute injury during that time, it is safe to repeat a treatment sooner.

Pain medications can be continued as required. Please do not suddenly cease any medications prescribed by your doctor without consultation.

Avoid hot/cold packs after your Bowen treatment.

Drink plenty of water - this can be warm or cold & flavoured to your taste.

Movement - Please try to gently move/ stretch after your Bowen treatment & avoid sitting or lack of movement for long periods.
