Body Maxx Mission Statement

"To practice Bowen Therapy in a comfortable, safe and welcoming clinical environment and build a reputation of listening to & understanding our clients with a holistic approach to their physical & emotional needs to relieve symptoms and release positive energy flows and enable their healing process."

Who Are We?

We are Kim and Matt Baillie, a husband and wife team running our Bowen Therapy clinic in Somerville, Victoria. We can offer our clients a personalised and caring environment. We are qualified to identify the source of your pain or condition through a holistic approach, and will talk with you to devise an effecive treatment plan.

What Is Bowen Therapy & Why Is It Effective?

Bowen Therapy is a holistic modality of healing discovered and established in Australia during the 60’s & 70’s in Geelong by Tom Bowen.

It is a lubricant free body work technique that is safe to use on almost anyone. It can be applied through loose clothing and a session may take 30 - 45 minutes. The initial consult will take 1 hour as a full medical history is recorded.

Bowen Therapy is not a form of massage. It is a dynamic healing modality which uses very gentle movements in selectively placed positions. The Bowen move stretches the superficial and deep fascia, which is the connective tissue that is woven through and around the muscles. It resembles a body stocking, holding & shaping the muscles & organs within, and also acts like a transfer station for incoming nutrients and outgoing toxins and waste.

Fascia is the main focus of Bowen Therapy. It is essential that the fascia remains healthy & hydrated to ensure good general health & wellbeing. The fascia responds quickly to Bowen Therapy. Where there is pain, illness or loss of function, results are effective and often immediate.

In addition to lack of water intake & poor diet - anxiety, stress, illness & medications can also contribute to dehydration. The fascia, normally liquid filled, can collapse & become glued when dehydrated. This often leads to other problems in the body, and can manifest as pain. The Bowen effect releases the fascia, and allows it to re-hydrate and heal the structures housed within the tissue. These include muscles, nerves, lymphatic system, vascular system and organs. Improved function in these structures reduces pain, and improves general health. It also addresses specific problems, as listed below.

Bowen is a very gentle healing modality, performed through loose clothing, so it is ideal for all people of all ages. At Body Maxx, you are draped at all times (even with clothes on), and your needs are always respected.

We listen to our clients very attentively, try to establish a genuine and comfortable rapport, and apply a holistic approach to specific issues and general state of health and wellbeing.

"Healing Is Listening"

Body Maxx Bowen Therapists have a "Scope of Practice" within which we work. This means we do not claim to fix everything and there are often times it is necessary to refer on to other practitioners (e.g. Doctors, Physiotherapists, Chiropractors, Naturopaths, Osteopaths etc), as they all have a different scope of practice which may be required by our client. We are trained to recognise an issue, but not diagnose beyond our scope, and refer clients on where necessary.

Body Maxx Bowen Treatments are $65.00 per session. Session times vary depending on your condition and the treatment required, and usually take from 30 - 45 minutes.

Discounts for Pensioners, Verterans and Health Care Card Holders -
Please call to enquire about discounts.

Pre Treatment

Bowen Therapy results are improved if the client is well hydrated prior to (and following) treatment. Since Bowen Therapy promotes changes in tissue hydration, it is imperative that clients drink sufficient water pre and post treatment.

(It is recommended that you drink 6 - 8 glasses of water every day. The easiest way is to carry a water bottle where possible, and take 3 or 4 mouthfulls every half hour).

Inform your therapist if you have received massage, chiropractic or other body work within 5 days prior to your Bowen Treatment.

The Treatment

Bowen Therapy does not require clients to disrobe, although some procedures are more effective if performed directly on the skin. Therefore some clients may be asked if they are comfortable to wear (two piece) bathing attire or underwear during the treatment. Your treatment will involve a series of selectively placed moves and rest periods, as deemed appropriate for your condition by the therapist. Bowen is very relaxing, and falling asleep is common and perfectly ok. If you feel uncomfortable for any reason at any time, please tell your therapist.

Reactions

Bowen improves energy, flexibility, mobility and can increase libido. It reduces pain and stiffness in muscles & joints. If you are dehydrated, it is not uncommon to experience tiredness, muscular-skeletal discomfort, frequent urination and headaches. Generally these reactions can last 24-36 hours. Longer lasting reactions are usually not a problem, but let your therapist know. Drinking water will reduce the intensity of reactions, and improve the positive effects of Bowen Therapy.

Post Treatment

Stay hydrated – drink lots of water. Avoid rigorous activity for 24 hours, even if you feel fantastic. Also avoid hot showers, baths and heat to muscles, as well as sitting still for longer than 20 mins at a time (24hrs post treatment). If you have to sit for long periods, try to move around every 20 minutes. Inform your therapist if you plan to have massage, chiropractic or other body work within 5 days of your Bowen Therapy.

All bookings are by appointment only. As we cannot take calls during treatments, please leave a message if your call is not answered and we will call back as soon as we can.

Cancellation Policy
