The Bowen Technique is a very gentle physical therapy that supports the body’s inherent ability to heal. It involves a gentle rolling motion over muscles, tendons, and ligaments at key points of the body to release energy flow and fast track healing.

Typical treatment sessions are between half an hour and an hour long, with patients lying comfortably on a massage table. Several Bowen moves are done, followed by a period of rest to enable the body to integrate the information.

Bowen is a whole body treatment- helping to relieve headaches, chronic back injuries, female hormonal concerns such as PMS, post delivery, as well as acute physical traumas such as sprained ankles.

Patient Preparation:

For any physical treatment arrival 15-20 minutes before your appointment is recommended.  Feel free to let us know you are here and then head right into the treatment room to relax before your session.  Relaxed muscles will provide for a more effective treatment .

The ways to optimize treatment is to ensure that you are in a comfortable lying down position and conversation is kept to a minimum as that is when the brain is processing the least amount of information and the self corrective system is most able to re orient without disturbance.

• Drink plenty of water ie half your body weight in ounces per day
• It is recommended to avoid sitting for more than half an hour post treatment . Thus if you need to sit it is suggested to stand and stretch every half hour.
