F.A.Q.


What does a Bowen Treatment involve?

what is Bowen treatment, explain Bowen,

A Bowen treatment is a deeply relaxing experience that involves gentle strategic moves on the body. These moves relay healing messages via the central nervous system to restore your injured and tense muscles to their original condition.
The client will be required to lie face down on a massage table for approximately 25 mins then turn over for another 25 mins depending on the treatment.
Tom Bowen treated clients directly on bare skin, but if you are uneasy with this then please wear loose cotton clothes.
Bowen Technique incorporates timely pauses into the treatment to allow your body to absorb and integrate the moves that initiate healing. During these pauses it is common for the therapist to leave the room so as not to inhibit your healing process.

What happens after a Bowen Treatment?

Bowen Technique will continue to work in your body for up to ten days following the treatment and to keep these healing energies flowing you will be required to follow a few simple but important instructions:
• On the day of your treatment do not sit for longer than 30mins at a time.
• On the day of your treatment do not do vigorous sports and exercise or vacuuming.
• Do not apply any heat or cold packs to your injury and avoid hot showers.
• Do not have any other form of body work in between the Bowen treatments.
• Do drink at least 8 glasses water a day.
It is not unusual for symptoms to worsen for 24-48 hours, as the body readjusts itself after a Bowen treatment. It is important to drink water and to keep mobile in the days following your treatment.
You may also be given some strengthening or stretching exercises to do at home as part of your treatment.

I have developed a COVID-19 Safety plan in keeping with NSW Health advice.

 

  • I have separated appointment times to allow for sterilisation between clients.
  • Clients must not attend if showing symptoms associated with COVID-19
  • I will be wearing a mask and I recommend that you do also.
  • Ventilation and air purification is provided.
  • We also recommend that clients refrain from treatment for at least two days after your vaccination to allow any side effects to settle.
