Frequently Asked Questions

YOUR QUESTIONS ABOUT BOWEN THERAPY ANSWERED

Yes.

Bowen has no contra indications and can be used by everyone from babies to the elderly.

No manipulations or force is used and therefore considered safe for all.

Adult treatments are usually approx one hour.

Initial treatment may be slightly longer as a detailed consultation is required. Please allow up to 1 hr 15 mins for your first treatment.

For children under 14 please allow 20-30 mins.

Treatment can be made directly on the skin or over soft, loose fitting clothing.

A t-shirt and joggers or shorts are ideal.

Please try not to wear jeans as these are not ideal to work through.

For your initial session there will be a health consultation and physical assessment.  You will be asked to complete a Consultation Form. It would help if you could download and complete the form prior to your arrival.

You will then be asked to relax on the treatment couch where I will begin your session, making these Bowen movements over specific areas of the body. I will then leave the room for 2-5 mins at a time to allow your body to respond to the moves.

These breaks are an essential part of Bowen and what makes Bowen Bowen.

As everyone responds so uniquely to Bowen there is no definitive answer to this question.

Two different clients presenting the same condition (i.e. sciatica) can respond quite differently. One client may find relief after 2-3 sessions and the other client may take 4-6 sessions. Usually a client will need 4-6 sessions, but ultimately the number of sessions will be dependent upon a number of different factors e.g.:

  • The type of condition
  • The severity of condition
  • The complexity of the condition
  • The length of time that they've had the issue their lifestyle, for example, diet, exercise, pressure, job and family
  • If the client is suffering with a single or multiple conditions

Once an issue has been resolved regular “top up” or “MOT” treatments are useful to prevent issues reoccurring and to keep the body functioning at its best.

No.

It is not advisable to mix Bowen Therapy with any other forms of therapy for at least up to 7 days before or after other treatments such as massage, physiotherapy, chiropractic etc. as this will interfere with the outcome of the Bowen Treatment.
