BOWEN THERAPY

​

During your treatment your practitioner applies gentle “rolling” moves on very specific points on the muscles, tendons and ligaments. These moves are often applied in special Sequences, initiating relaxation of the muscles, flexibility of the fascia and increased circulation of blood, lymph and energy. All serve to bring about the often profound results positively affecting many conditions in the whole body. At specific times during the treatment, the practitioner may allow your body to rest.

This can be an important part of the treatment, when your body is given time to react to the work that has been done. It also is a time for you to relax – you may wish to “tune-in” to how your body may be responding to the work.

​

After - Treatment Reaction

Although a gentle therapy when applied, ISBT-Bowen Therapy may initiate a deep healing structural correction. Occasionally some people may experience unusual reactions, mainly after initial treatments. There is no cause for alarm if you do. These are positive signs that the body is undergoing necessary healing processes. You may feel stiff, experience occasional sharp pain, heat or brief shivers, headaches or even feel a little tired or emotional. These reactions are usually brief as your body undertakes healing. If you are uncertain about any reactions, contact your practitioner.
