Bowen can be administered through light clothing, with the client standing, sitting or lying. Gentle moves performed primarily with fingers and thumbs over tendons, ligaments, muscles and soft tissue on specific points on the body help to release stress on a deep level and stimulate the body to realign. There are pauses throughout the session to allow the body to respond and begin the healing process. Results are noticeable after the first session and often only a few sessions are required to correct the presenting problem. Bowen Therapy is a whole body therapy. Bowen Therapy: is a treatment for injuries in the body. It is NOT a form of exercise. Clients rest on a massage table and the therapy is designed to manage and reduce or alleviate pain.
