The Bowen Technique is a gentle therapy which allows the body to rebalance itself relieving a lot of problems caused by accidents or injuries or disease. Usually only a few sessions are required to relieve aches and pains and rebalance the body. 
A Bowen session lasts 30 - 60 minutes with time for discussing health issues and planning the Bowen treatment, assessment and expected outcomes. A Bowen treatment is usually performed on the skin while lying on a treatment table or bed, However Bowen may be done through light clothing and in a seated position if required. Usually during a Bowen session the whole body is treated but specific areas may be treated alone.
Bowen is a holistic therapy, encompassing the mind body and spirit. People generally feel much better following a Bowen treatment, sometimes with amazing results, but usually always with an improved feeling of wellbeing.
A Bowen treatment is not combined with massage or any other therapies to gain the most benefit from Bowen Therapy.
