Bowen therapy uses a vibrational energy. Bowen facilitates the balancing of a range of conditions. It is a holistic treatment, which aims to treat the whole person.
A Bowen treatment consists of sequences of small moves, each at a specific site on the body. The treatment is pleasant as therapists use light cross-fibre manoeuvres of muscle, tendon or ligament with no forceful manipulation. You will be asked to lie down for up to one hour. You do not need to remove your clothes. During this time, the therapist may leave the room for periods of 2-5 minutes at a time to allow your muscles to make the changes necessary in your body before commencing the next sequence of moves.
Reactions ranging from hot and cold flushes, emotional releases, headaches and body aches may be experienced. These reactions are a positive sign that the healing process is working.
