BOWEN

AND

WHAT DOES IT HELP

WHY DOES IT HELP SO MUCH

The gentle touch of Bowen moves are deceptive. The moves are placed at precise  points, creating a change along the lines of communication within the body. You want to be well and pain free, and so does your body. It takes this opportunity to’ let go’ of the problem and move towards normal. Normal is wonderful, no pain, good range of movement, feeling happy and contented, with enough energy to do what we choose.

 

Because Bowen treats the body, not the illness, it is a very holistic therapy. We are trained to notice the places where the body is contributing to the problem, and help undo it. This usually includes small rolling movements near to the spine which help calm the whole of you and reduce pain.

 

Bowen is safe for everyone from mothers to be [ it’s great for backache] ,babies, the fit, the frail, the fourteens, fourties, and way beyond. Many sports enthusiasts find they are less injury prone with regular sessions, and have more energy after a treatment. This is great if you have a big event coming up.

It also explains why it can help those who are recovering from trauma such as operations , accidents and strokes.

In general, it is never too soon to get a treatment.

 

 

WHAT HAPPENS AT A BOWEN TREATMENT

I offer a free 30 min. consultation. This gives you the opportunity to meet me as  I take a full case history. It is this that will enable me to really understand  how best to help you, and you can clear up any questions you have.

If you want time to think about having a treatment, you are under no obligation and are free to go. If you choose to start the treatment  we will have time for a 30 mins. session.

In most situations the treatment can be given through light clothing. I will ask you to lie or sit for your treatment, covering you with light blankets so that you stay warm. I will explain the first couple of moves as I do them, but after that I will say almost nothing as this allows you to completely relax.

After each group of moves you will be left to rest for 2-3 mins. as the body reacts to the instructions that it has been given. It is in these rests that the work is done. It is usual for the therapist to leave the room so you are totally relaxed.

At the end of the treatment you will be given a drink of water and instructions about how to get the best from your treatment [ see below ]. It is important that you do follow these instructions to achieve the best results.

We will make your next appointment between 7-14 days away. You should attend this even if you feel there has been no change. I do not perform miracles. You can phone me if you have concerns on 01954 267034
