Each session takes approximately 45 minutes and can be applied through lightweight clothing such as a t-shirt, some thin trousers, or jogging bottoms. 2-3 treatments at weekly intervals are quite often sufficient to obtain long-lasting relief. It is recommended that you do not use other 'hands-on' therapies such as reflexology or massage whilst attending Bowen sessions.
The practitioner uses thumbs and fingers on precise points on the body making rolling type moves to stimulate energy, circulation, nervous, and lymphatic systems in the muscle, soft tissue, and throughout the body.
The Bowen Technique aims to gently nudge the body into its own self-healing. Short resting periods are given to the client during treatment for the brain to process what is occurring and to make subtle adjustments to initiate the healing process.
