What to expect during your Bowen Therapy Session
Wear or bring light-weight, loose fitting clothing that your practitioner can work through. Or you may choose to wear your underclothes and be professionally draped for modesty and comfort.
The practitioner will take a brief health history and ask about the reasons for your visit, so as to select the best course of treatment for that day.
Gentle moves are performed over muscles and soft tissue, stimulating the nervous system to reset and heal. After each series of moves, the practitioner will pause to allow your body time to respond. She may at times leave the room during these pauses to allow for maximum relaxation and healing.
Frequent pauses between moves allow the body to process the messages and commence healing.
By combining moves, the practitioner can either benefit the body as a whole, or target a specific problem. Bowen Therapy affects all systems within the body and initiates change at a cellular level.
