How Does Bowen Therapy Work?

Bowen is a gentle remedial body technique, using thumb and finger pressure to create light rolling type movements across muscle fibres, tendons or ligaments with no forceful manipulation. These moves are often applied in special sequences.

What To Expect During a Treatment?

The patient breaths in and on exhalation Bowen moves are applied to specific muscles, tendons and ligaments. This initiates the muscle to relax, increase circulation and lymph and improve the flexibility of the fascia, allowing the body to re-align and balance itself.

At specific times during the treatment, the practitioner may allow your body to rest for a couple of minutes. This can be an important part of the treatment as it gives your body time to react to the work that has been done.

Your practitioner will also discuss an appropriate after care protocol at the conclusion of your treatment to ensure optimal recovery.
