BOWEN APPLICATIONS
What Can I Expect from Bowen Therapy ?
A normal Bowen Therapy treatment starts with the client lying face down on a massage table. Comfortable clothing is recommended and only the shoes need to be removed . The practitioner begins with a prescribed set of moves in the lower back and hips which immediately lead the body into a relaxed state. This primary stress release, and the relaxation that follows, allows oxygen to circulate more thoroughly throughout the system while releasing toxins and eliminating dysfunctional fluids.
Tom Bowen developed a method of isolating the body's energy which is then concentrated and directed into specific muscle groups. Short waiting periods are incorporated between the moves to allow the brain time to assimilate, correlate and send a positive response to the area being worked with.
A Bowen practitioner works in precise areas following a categorical program up and down the body, instructing the client to turn face up about halfway through the treatment.
Because increased oxygen production and its circulatory movement is central to Bowen Therapy, the applications are numerous. No one is too young or old to receive the Bowen benefits and a wide range of symptoms experience positive effects within 1-3 treatments given 5-7 days apart.
