Your Journey in Healing!
The Bowen Technique moves the fascia and soft tissue in purposeful gentle “rolling-type moves” to deliver signals to the bodies nervous system that stimulate fascia, joints, ligaments, meridian lines, muscles, nerves and tendons.
This technique is a whole-body modality which allows the body to shift from sympathetic (fight flight) to parasympathetic (rest and digest) while helping the area of concern.
What to expect during your first Bowen Therapy Session
The first session will be comprised of an initial intake, body assessment and treatment. It’s recommended to drink water before the session so the fascial network can loosen for best therapeutic response within the cells and tissue.
During your session, Bowen moves are applied through loss, light clothing while laying on a massage table.
The fundamental principle of Bowen Therapy is that the client’s body is doing the healing.
In order to facilitate this, your therapist allows 2 minutes integration (rest) between each move to allow the body and brain to focus on the signal created by the move.
Bowen Technique is appropriate for all ages and health spectrum.

Heavy Exercise will stop your Bowen Therapy session from working especially right after. For athletes limit exerting the area of concern and allow the area to heal.
Have an Epson Salt bath with warm water to increase healing time and relieve soreness….remember too hot or cold can bring your body out of homeostasis which the body needs in order to heal.
