Bowen Therapy

Bowen is a soft tissue remedial therapy using small rolling movements over muscles, tendons and ligaments to create a signal to the brain to initiate the natural healing response within the body. Unique breaks are incorporated into the treatment where you are left to rest and allow the body to process these signals. It can be carried out through light clothing. No adjustment or manipulation is used.

What to expect on your visit

Before any initial treatment a full consultation will be carried out and Helen will ask questions regarding your general health. The treatment is best carried out through light clothing, for example thin trousers and a t-shirt, so please avoid wearing jeans if possible.

To gain the most benefit from this treatment we suggest at least 2 sessions spaced approximately 1 week apart.

After your treatment, the following is recommended:

  • Drink 5-8 glasses of still water each day as this will help your body’s natural detoxification process. Should you find you get a headache or feeling of nausea after treatment, a glass of water should settle this.
  • In the days immediately following treatment try not to sit still for more than 30 minutes. A little walk around the room to have a stretch is all that is required to keep things moving. 
  • Do not stress or overtax your body for 48 hours after treatment, continue with any gentle exercise regime.
  • Do not use ice packs or heat pads during a course of Bowen treatment.
  • To avoid overloading the body wait 7 days either side of a treatment before having any other complementary treatments.
