What To Expect During a Bowen Treatment?
- Most of the work can be done through light clothing. No oils are used.
- During a Bowen session the practitioner uses thumbs and fingers to make rolling type movements on different muscles.
- There are times when the therapist actually leaves the room
- During the pauses the body has time to make its own adjustments, which helps relieve tension and reduce pain
- Allow the body to adjust to the treatment over the next week
- Drink a least 2 litres of water daily!
Why Is Drinking Water After Your Treatment Important?
Water is important as it hydrates the muscles and flushes around the ligaments and tendons. It helps to cleanse the blood stream and nervous system. It is also a good idea to have a salt bath to release toxins etc.
You may feel tired or sore after a treatment. This is normal and will subside by the 4th or 5th day. On the other hand, you may feel a lift in energy and well being.
A Bowen treatment aims to restore the body's balance. Imagine the strings of an instrument being tuned to play beautiful music.
