What to expect from a Bowen treatment

You will be consulted about your lifestyle, health and the reason for your visit.

The treatment is generally carried out on a couch but can be done seated. The practitioner works directly on skin or through light clothing. Dependent on what is being treated a session will take 30 minutes upwards. Most first sessions concentrate on the back, neck and shoulders.

Many people report relief of symptoms following their first session, although results will vary based on your condition.

Most people will be advised to attend for at least a second Bowen session, usually seven days after the first. Many conditions are effectively treated in fewer than five sessions. Musculoskeletal symptoms generally change very quickly although some chronic conditions may require on-going maintenance sessions. Many people choose to have monthly maintenance sessions once the initial complaint has been addressed.
