Bowtech Bowen Therapy is generally performed directly on the skin but can be done through light clothing.

Lying comfortably on your tummy, you are appropriately draped with a sarong, or blankets in the cooler weather.

The very first two Bowen moves are so important - a gentle rolling move performed either side of your lower (lumbar) spine. These first two moves are much like switching on a computer, messages are now running throughout your nervous system as your own body is now assessing where there is tightness, scar tissue or a dehydrated area. As the Bowen moves through your body and comes to these areas you may notice tingling, heat or a general awareness of that area. Your brain takes notice - this is something different!

It is during this time that I leave you for two or three minutes. This period of rest is also part of the treatment as big things are happening!

As the sensations settle I then do the next two moves on a different area of the body and again leave you for two or three minutes. This sequence of Bowen moves and pauses continues for between 45 minutes to 1 hour.

Waiting for the sensations to settle is your body’s way of guiding me how much Bowen to do in your treatment.

The Bowen is the catalyst and your body responds - in its own time. From the moment those very first two Bowen moves were made on your lower back - your nervous system, fascia, ligaments, tendons are all rebalancing and responding. Your body will continue rebalancing over the following week.
