In our first session. I’ll spend time taking details of your medical history as well as chatting about the issues which have brought you to me. "As we move on to your first treatment, I’ll be assessing your reactions, tailoring the treatment to meet your specific needs and ensuring you receive maximum benefit from our time together. Swift pain relief is common - some people experiencing it immediately, others after just a few sessions.
Sessions last between 45 to 60 minutes and whilst I prefer to work directly on your skin, I can equally effectively administer treatment through light, loose clothing.
Clients are often delighted to find how informal, warm and welcoming the clinic is and how painless the actual treatment, with no harsh manipulation or force applied to sensitive muscles or joints. As a practitioner I’m constantly amazed at the immense healing power we hold within our own bodies and you may find, during treatment, that often only the most minor of adjustments are needed to set this in motion.
Just as important as the very precise Bowen moves, are the pauses between these moves, which give your body time to adjust. I will move in and out of the treatment room to allow you complete peace and relaxation to better facilitate this.
Your second visit would generally be 5 – 10 days after your first, so we can see how you’re feeling and it’s this which sets the pace for your next treatment.
Below you’ll find some conditions (although this is by no means an exclusive list) which have in the past been helped or alleviated by the Bowen Technique.
