Area’s not working to the best of their ability may be sore on the relating reflex point on the foot or hand, but don’t be put off as relaxing techniques are used throughout the session.
Drinking water after the session is recommended to flush your system, to help you feel energized and revitalized.

Bowen Therapy:
What Is Bowen Therapy?
Bowen Therapy is a unique form of neuromuscular repatterning. It works primarily through the nervous system on both structural and energetic levels.
Bowen Therapy usually results in the relief of many specific injuries and other health problems, both acute and chronic. It does so holistically, by using the body's innate healing mechanisms. The therapist delivers singnals to the nervous system at specific locations (on muscles, tendons, ligaments or nerves), and the body does the rest, responding in its own time, as it is able. While there are a few, very specific situations in which a particular procedure is contra-indicated, Bowen Therapy is appropriate to use for individuals of all ages and in all degrees of health.
What is a Typical Bowen Session?
A Bowen Therapy session generally lasts for 45 to 60 min. The moves are gentle but purposeful and can be done through light clothing if the client prefers. Clients usually lie on a massage table or can be seated in a chair, if required for comfort. Some Bowen procedures require the client to stand up.
A Bowen session involves one or more procedures, each of which consists of several sets of moves. Between each set of moves, the therapist pauses for as many minutes as are needed for the client's body to begin responding. After the nervous system begins to adjust the tension level in the muscles, the client is ready for the next set of moves.
Benefits of Bowen Therapy
All of the body may benefit from this comprehensive approach to wellness, including muscles, organs, and the functioning of the body's vital systems. Some specific benefits of Bowen Therapy may include:
Improved circulation (blood, lymph, energy)
