Frequently Asked Questions.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Why Do We Put Up With Pain?

Because we are all the same. “ It will fix itself, I just don’t have time,” we all say it. Sound very familiar?
It is true, given the right conditions the body will heal itself, this is where Bowen steps in, it just gives the body that little reminder it requires to do the job.

What Is Bowen Therapy?

Bowen therapy is an amazing technique, where a series of precise gentle and painless moves, are applied on specific muscles to help trigger the bodies natural healing process.

Bowen treats the cause rather than the symptoms giving you a longer lasting result. You will get a more relaxed overall feeling over your whole body


What Can I Expect From A Bowen Session?

Imagine between 45 mins to an hour to yourself, laying on a comfy massage table, in the background nice soft relaxing music, not too loud, just loud enough to take the deafening silence away, Cosy and warm with either a blanket or a towel to keep you warm. All while I preform extremely gentle moves over specific muscle to help alleviate your pain.And give you an overall sense of balance and relaxation. it is so relaxing you may even fall asleep................

Along with many other Chronic and acute conditions

How Many Session Will I need?

In most cases people see results after the first treatment.Although no less than 3 treatments are recommended to address an acute issue. To lock in the results.

Chronic conditions can take up to six treatments. These are estimates as each treatment is judged on the individual, some individuals may require on going maintenance

Bowen can also be used successfully as a preventative! It is very beneficial if you do continue with a session every 4 to 6 weeks. The body needs regular maintenance to maintain optimal health and well being.


Is Bowen like Massage

No. Bowen Therapy is a lot more gentle than massage and a lot more precise, it actually triggers the bodies natural healing ability. Where as massage uses the massage therapist to do the healing in the body through their manual kneading and massaging.


Can I Wear My Clothes?

Yes, Bowen moves may be performed over light clothing if you prefer,I do like to work direct on the skin, with the client lying down .Draped, so only the area being worked on is exposed at any time. A session usually lasts from 30- 60 minutes and often results in a sense of overall relaxation,




How Will I Feel After My First Session

Everybody reacts differently to Bowen, Although Bowen therapy is a gentle technique it may initiate a deep healing structural correction. Occasionally some people may experience strange reactions. There is no cause for alarm.. These are all positive signs that the body is undergoing necessary healing.

After each session we do advice that you drink plenty of water to help flush out the toxins in your system. Most people feel an overall sense of relaxation, and usually more mobility, some people don't feel anything for a few hours.It can take as long as 24 hours for the body to react to the moves.

You may experience headaches heat, brief shivers, tired a little emotional. all these are brief. and nothing to be concerned about.
I often find, after the first session, people will come back and say things like "I can now lift my arms above my head, which I haven't been able to do for years", but didn't tell me that was a problem in the initial consultation,not that they need to as Bowen being holistic works where it needs to !! So as you can see it can do lots of adjustments with out the therapist needing to be aware,


Why Do You Leave The Room?

I leave the room for approx 2 minutes after some of the moves I have preformed, to allow your body to relax totally and accept the moves. And so You or I dont feel the need to talk, As your body needs to relax.
So I like to have the room in total relaxation.


Does Bowen Hurt When It Is Being Preformed?

Bowen therapy is an extremely gentle form of treatment, it is so gentle that it can be applied when many other therapies can not,such as in cases in extreme trauma. Pregnancy, infants and Fibromyalgia.


Can You Tell Me More About Your Referral System?

This is a great incentive for you and your friends and families, If you come for a visit and you are happy, refer me to a friend, work college, or family member, Then when they come in for their first visit, your referred person receives $ 5 for their first visit, and you receive $ 5 of your next visit, The more you refer, the more visit you receive the $ 5 off (can be used once per visit . ).


What Can I Do To Assist My Healing?

With any body work there will be things that you will need to do to aid your healing process.

1. do not apply any heat to the area ( hot shower,spas, hot water bottle.electric blanket or ice for the next 24 hours.

2. no self massage, or have any other body works for at least 5 days after a treatment.

3. Drinking water after your treatment is very important to ensure rehydration of the body

4. Bend the knees when lifting heavy objects.

5 if you have a jaw treatment. please restrict opening the mouth too wide, and avoid chewy foods eg nuts gum apples steak. for the first 24 hrs

6. do not sit for longer than 30 minutes at a time for the remainder of the day. being mobile regularly can aid the process. Lying down is fine.

7. Avoid crossing your legs or slouching on one hip or lean on one side.

Anita;The Basin "It`s amazing how much Bowen can achieve, even when it comes dealing with bunions!!."

Jacquie Ferntree Gully "This is the BEST :) If you have an injury, you've got to try it. It worked on me and I had other therapys for 5 years!!!! None really worked. Oh Sloanes pretty awesome too ;)

Oh and my little girl too. She was suffering migraines at the age of 7 and now since seeing Sloane, she hasn't had one. Thats been 6 weeks and she was getting them at least fortnightly!!!

*Val Kilsyth Sth I have to say I was very unsure in the beginning as to how such small movements can make any difference but IT DID!!! Thanks Sloane...... something I am glad I tried, it was so worth while!!

* Paul 40 Ferntree Gully " I was very sceptical to begin with but I havent felt this good in 15 years, I visit Sloane once a month just for pain management
thanks"

* Margot Scorseby, 60 " I had done something to my foot whilst Bowling, I came to Sloane for 3 sessions, Sloane did manage to control the pain and the swelling, But then Sloane referred me to a Podiatrist, as she was not achieving the results she was needing, I went to the podiatrist, His treatment was extremely painful , but with his tweaking and Sloane's continued treatment. I am on the road to normality. Thank you.
