Bowen Session

A Bowen session lasts about the same as a typical massage 30-45 minutes.   The therapist "rolls" over the muscles with their fingers. This rolling action increases the energy flow and causes the muscles to relax.  Since this is a gentle oil free technique, treatment can be done through either on the skin or through light clothing. The moves are done in groups.  During the session the therapist will leave the room for about 2 to 5 minutes to allow the body to make its own adjustments in the area just addressed.

A Bowen sesson:
       *    increases energy flow;
       *    releases tension; 
       *    promote good circulation;
       *    improves lymphatic drainage of toxins and waste;
       *    helps the body to realign itself and assist in the healing process
 

 Immediate pain relief is possible, but you are more likely to notice significant improvement developing over time. The effect can evolve over several days to a week. Many people notice changes in their bodies natural positioning and alignment during and after a Bowen session.  Long lasting results are possible. Two or three treatments are usually enough to achieve long-lasting relief.  Even long-term conditions may respond very quickly.

To best evaluate whether the Bowen technique is for you; try it for three weeks with one session per week and no other kind of bodywork in between.
