When you book a Bowen Therapy treatment for the first time, it is recommended that you plan to attend at least two sessions, approximately one week apart. After taking your medical history, your Bowen session will be tailored to meet your individual requirements.
An aftercare advice sheet will be provided after your initial Bowen Therapy session. Drinking plenty of fluids and walking/moving as much as possible is generally recommended. Reactions to Bowen are not uncommon. These may include tiredness, increase in original symptoms, stiffness, headaches, flu-like symptoms and emotional releases. Such responses are perfectly normal as your body begins to rebalance and make subtle changes.
Your initial Bowen appointment can take up to 75 minutes, and costs £60. Subsequent Bowen sessions take 45-60 minutes and cost £55. Shorter appointments are available for babies and children. These cost £20-30, depending on age. Emotional therapies such as EFT, NLP, Mindfulness, meditation and stress management techniques can take up to 90 minutes and cost £90
Payments are accepted by cash, card, phone and bank transfer.
Bowen moves are made on the skin and underlying structures. Some moves correspond to acupuncture points, whilst others stimulate lymphatic drainage, the nervous system, or proprioception (the sense that allows us to perceive the location and movement of parts of our body).
Bowen moves activate sensory receptors such as touch, pressure and heat. Bowen moves involve taking skin slack, applying gentle pressure, then making a slow, steady move. This type of move also stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system, which can result in deep relaxation.
The 'breaks' between each set of Bowen moves are unique to this therapy. They initiate a process called ‘interoception' which is the sense that asks "how do I feel?" The appropriate response will then be initiated by the body, depending on the answer.
Your body will continue to process the Bowen and make changes over the coming 5-10 days, which is why you should not have any other physical therapy whilst receiving Bowen Technique. There are some exceptions to this rule, if you are unsure please contact me for clarification.
