What to expect in a Bowen Therapy Treatment

Treatment sessions last for 60 minutes (although your initial consultation may go for up to 75 minutes)

• At the start of your first session, we will share a thorough discussion around your current symptoms and concerns. Your health and wellbeing goals will also be discussed.

• You will be invited to lie down or sit in a comfortable position for the treatment, depending on the areas of your body that require treatment and your mobility needs.

• The therapist will use their fingers to apply gentle, rolling movements on specific areas of your body. These movements will stretch and move the skin with pressure, but they won’t be forceful.

• After each series of moves, the therapist will leave your body to process and integrate for about 2-5 minutes.

What should I wear?

Client comfort is our top priority as one of the features of Bowen Therapy is nervous system regulation.

It is recommended that you wear comfortable, loose fitting clothes. Some treatments may require you to remove clothing to target specific areas, but you will always be carefully draped and kept warm with blankets and our heated treatment table (as the season requires).

How many treatments will I need?

The total number of sessions you will need and the length of time between each session will vary depending upon your initial complaints or concerns and your individual health goals. Generally, you will undertake four initial sessions ideally 1 week apart and then stretch out to once or twice per month until you reach your goals. You are then welcome to return for a session whenever you are feeling that it would be supportive.
