A Bowen session generally lasts from 45 to 60 minutes, but for some conditions it may be as quick as 20 minutes.
Clients will be asked to lie on a massage table, however it this is not comfortable they may be seated in a chair. Babies can be held by their parents while receiving treatment. There are essential pauses between certain moves where the practitioner will leave the room, allowing maximum space for deep relaxation and for the body to respond.
An appointment involves one or more set procedures where the moves are best done on bare skin, but light clothing can be worn if that is preferable. All the moves on the back of the body is completed before the client turns over to have the moves on the front of the body completed.
After the treatment you will be recommended to:
• Hydrate by drinking plenty of water
• Move your body
• Avoid other body works for up to 5 days (e.g. massage, chiropractic)
• After certain procedures, gentle exercise movements will also be recommended.
These simple steps will assist the client to reach optimal result.
