Bowen Therapy FAQ

What can I expect during a Bowen treatment?

I will take your full health history at the first appointment. This is time well spent, as it is often here that your real problems are identified. This allows me to identify and treat the cause of the problem not just the symptoms. Many people usually become very relaxed right away, and even fall asleep during the treatment. Try to wear something lightweight and non-slippery. A cotton T-shirt and thin trousers are ideal. If you are wearing bulky items such as jumpers or coats you will be asked to remove them.

How many treatments will I need to have?

Everyone responds differently so it is impossible to say. Some problems need more treatments and some less. Many people find it beneficial to have top-up treatments thus preventing injury and maintaining a supple, healthy and relaxed body.

Should I have Bowen therapy if I am pregnant?

Absolutely, Bowen therapy will help you by alleviating many symptoms that you may experience during your pregnancy. It can also help to prepare your body for the labour, by releasing the muscles allowing for an easier birth, with no tearing. If required, Bowen therapy can be used to induce labour if you go over the term of your pregnancy. After your pregnancy, Bowen therapy is beneficial for returning your organs back to their original position, giving you more energy to enjoy your new life with your baby.
