| Why is the Bowen technique unique?
The human body is made up of connective fascia tissue, an elastic and often inelastic structural system that wraps round every part of the body and contributes to stability, flexibility, function and movement. This amazing network responds well to a lighter more intelligent touch that doesn’t seek to manipulate or force a structure into change. Bowen moves work with the underlying fascia and the restructuring that takes place is the result of internal adaptation in the elasticity of the fascia, creating freedom for hormonal changes and for structures to move and behave in biomechanical equilibrium. This allows the body to realign itself and correct injuries or malfunction and regular work can act as a preventative as well as a cure. It is so gentle it can be used on people of any age from babies upwards and can be performed directly on the skin or through light clothing. A treatment session normally lasts up to 45 minutes although the first visit is usually 1 - 1.25 hours giving time to discuss the primary reason for the visit but also to take a full medical history. It is recommended that no other treatment type is added whilst receiving Bowen therapy.
How many sessions will I need?
This will be determined by the individual and what they are there to address. If you are seeking an alternative to massage for relaxation then one session should suffice. Most people will have responses within one to three sessions with most conditions, when even long standing pain has been seen to be relieved in many clients. Some conditions might need to be treated for longer. Every person is different but in general to get the full benefit of the work it is recommended that a client books 3 weekly sessions initially. Payment is accepted by cash, cheque or credit/debit cards for which there may be a transaction fee.
