What does Bowen treat?

Bowen is a holistic therapy but is not diagnostic: the body is treated as a whole entity without referral to a named disease. It is not intended to be a replacement for your G.P. Conditions which have responded very well are, for example:

Respiratory Conditions Whiplash Hamstring Strains Frozen Shoulder Back Pain Knee Injuries Tilted Pelvis Tennis Elbow Repetitive Stress Injuries

Carpal Tunnel Hayfever Sciatica Sports Injuries Neck Pain Muscle Spasm Fatigue I.B.S. Strokes

What can I expect?

I always begin by taking/updating a case history which will allow me to tailor the treatment to your particular requirements and to enable me to determine how you are feeling week by week. Your case history and anything that is discussed during our session is absolutely confidential. However, with your consent I may contact your doctor to discuss your treatment if I feel that it would be of benefit to you.

Your treatment can be easily carried out through thin clothing such as a t-shirt and shorts. However, if I consider that a move would be best carried out on bare skin, your permission will be sought before that move takes place and you will be covered by a towel. Your modesty and comfort will always be of paramount importance. If for any reason you are unable to lie down, treatments can be carried out sitting on a chair.

How and what will I feel?

Clients often report feeling hot/tingling sensations over areas that have been worked – and sometimes over areas which have not been touched! Feelings of my hands still being upon their body even though I have left the room is a common reaction. I have had clients go to sleep during a treatment and others who twitch from start to finish!

In the first few days following a Bowen session you may feel energised or you could feel very lethargic. Sometimes clients develop a headache or feel as though they are getting the flu. These are common reactions to the therapy and are a positive sign that your body is responding to Bowen. An aftercare sheet will be given to allow you to get the most from your treatment and which will help you to deal with the possible responses. I am more than happy for clients to telephone me if they have any concerns.

How much does it cost?

Treatments are £35 per session. However, if I have to travel more than 20 miles to reach you, extra travel costs may be incurred.
