What to expect
What to expect
During the Bowen Treatment:
- • Gentle Touch: A minimum of 2-minute pause/rest is given between a series of gentle purposeful moves to allow the body to integrate the message given via the fascia to the central nervous system.
- • Individual Responses: Responses to Bowen Therapy vary, and you may experience tingling, heat, or pressure. Those sensations may be from increased blood flow to that area or energy to meridians.
- • Listen to Your Body: during the pause, the response is the signal that the body needs more time to integrate the changes initiated by the moves. The absence of a reaction doesn't indicate ineffectiveness.
After the Bowen Treatment:
- The healing process continues for 5 to 10 days after the treatment. Your body progressively resets itself back to its blueprint. Within the first 3 days after the treatment is when the changes are most noticeable. Because of the subtle nature of Bowen Technique, and the body's continuing response to it over several days, other forms of manipulative therapy are discouraged three days before and for up to five days after a Bowen treatment, as they may interfere with the efficacy of the Bowen work. Bowen Technique facilitates the body in healing itself, with minimal intervention.
- Drink extra water to keep hydrated and to assist any toxins released to be removed from the body.
- Go for a gentle walk to assist the body to realign and rebalance.
- Avoid sitting for longer than 30 minutes at a time for the rest of the day.
- Avoid extremely hot showers or heat/cold packs.
- Avoid the gym or other strenuous exercise for the rest of the day.
- Timing: Schedule your next session within 5-10 days for optimal results. Except for pregnant women and asthma sufferers as they may benefit from more frequent sessions.
Additional Notes:
- No Imposed Corrections: unlike massage, physiotherapy and chiropractic adjustments, Bowen Therapy doesn't involve imposing corrections on the body.
- Injuries: If you've recently injured yourself, seek treatment as soon as possible to prevent compensation and further complications.
- Potential Reactions: You may experience various reactions following the treatment. If you have any concerns, don't hesitate to contact your doctor.
Remember:
- The specific recommendations may vary based on your individual needs and condition.
