HOW IT WORKS
Understanding Bowen Therapy
What is Bowen Therapy?
Bowen Therapy is a non-invasive and relaxing body technique where gentle pressure is applied to specific areas to support the parasympathetic nervous system allowing for rest, recovery, and repair of the body.
Depending on the sequence of moves and locations Bowen Therapy is applied to, different concerns can be targeted.
How Bowen Medicine Works
In each therapeutic sequence, carefully timed pauses are used to separate each move and allow the body to focus its attention on the area of concern.
Bowen Therapy offers patients one of the safest, fasted, and most effective modalities indicated for chronic conditions as well as improving overall health.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Many patients are curious about Bowen Therapy as an integrative option to their care. Explore the top five most asked questions.
Is Bowen Therapy painful?
No. The technique involves gentle, non-invasive, rolling-like inputs over muscles, tendons, ligaments, joints and organs. Often, patients report a sensation of relaxation and frequently fall asleep during sessions.
What should I expect during a session?
You will lie comfortably on a treatment table, either fully clothed or in undergarments under a sheet.
How long does a session last?
A typical session lasts 45-60 minutes, depending on the patient’s needs.
How many sessions will I need?
Some patients notice improvement after one or two sessions, but a course of 3-5 is typically recommended. Sessions can be weekly, monthly, or as needed, depending on the patient’s exact concerns.
Does Bowen Therapy combine with other therapies?
Yes, in an integrative plan; however, no other therapies should be combined on the same day. The effects of Bowen therapy can be negated by combining it with massage therapies and other physical modalities.
