Each Bowenwork session is always individualized
to meet your needs. Your practitioner will gear
their work according to where your body is unbalanced.
The practitioner will usually start the treatment
by doing some foundational work to open up the
nerve pathways of your spine and relax your nervous
system. Thereafter, the procedures used will be
specific to your body. Most importantly, remember,
Bowenwork is holistic- so this is not just a
treatment of symptoms. Your practitioner will
do the minimal work possible as to not overload
your body. More often than not, less is truly
best.
What to expect the day
of your session and after:
-
Allow one and a half hours for your first
session and about an hour for follow-ups.
-
Wear or bring light-weight, loose fitting
clothes that your practitioner can work
through. Or you may choose to wear your
underclothes and be professionally draped
for modesty and comfort.
-
During your session, the practitioner will
leave the room after each procedure in order
to allow your body time to respond.
-
Following the session, some changes may
be noticeable right away, such as reduced
pain, greater range of motion, and a deep
sense of relaxation and well-being.
-
You may notice changes over the next several
days as your body continues the process
that began during your session. Sound sleep
and increased energy are commonly reported.
It is important to stay hydrated during
this time. It is not uncommon to feel old
injuries, memories, and pains begin to resurface.
DO NOT suppress these sensations. This is
a sign your body is beginning to heal at
a deeper level and it will pass usually
within a couple of days.
-
Take Daily walks to improve circulation
and free joint restrictions.
-
Rest and wait a week for your next session.
All strenuous activity should be avoided
that day of your treatment to give your
body some time off. We always wait a week
to do a follow-up session, except for athletes
and those who are going through intense
training.
-
Avoid other body therapies for several
days after your session to ensure your body’s
nervous system has no interruptions.
-
Often times, various stretches and exercises
will be recommended to enhance and facilitate
your healing. Healthy range of motion and
movement in the musculo-skeletal system
is also restored. This is an essential part
of your care and will improve your results.
-
Your practitioner will determine your treatment
plan during that first session. Your goals,
current health, and response to the treatment,
will dictate how many sessions are necessary.
It is important you complete your treatment
plan for the best results. And remember,
sessions are scheduled no more than once
a week.
-
Enjoy the transformation!
Bowenwork is unlike any other healing modality
on the planet. The biggest distinction is that
the Bowenwork therapist has very gentle and
very little contact with the body. NO use of
force or manipulation is used to “tell”
the body what to do. This is why Bowenwork is
considered to be a holistic therapy. Holistic
implies treating the person as a whole to foster
the regeneration and balancing of the mind,
body and spirit.
Each movement and gentle touch that is delivered
through Bowenwork, simply delivers a message
or frequency to the body. That message is relayed
through the soft tissues and into the brain.
From there the brain interprets the information
and then sends new neurological signals throughout
every system in the body. Not only are the muscles
and skeletal system affected, but so is everything
else, like the adrenals and glands, hormone
balance, digestive health and elimination, reproductive
function, respiratory and circulatory function,
lymphatic flow, etc.…..you get the picture.
Every system in the body begins to reorganize
and repair itself.
This is why our clients tend to have such excellent
results. For instance, you may see a Bowenwork
Practitioner because your shoulder hurts. Did
you know that quite possibly your shoulder pain
is connected to something else that is out of
balance? Have you ever thought that maybe an
old injury, postural imbalance or poor circulation
could be contributing to it?
Bowenwork therapists always do assessments
and make objective observations to see what
else in the body could be affecting that shoulder.
Bowenwork therapists also listen to the body
and use their keen sense of tissue tension to
determine where the body is blocked and needs
to unwind. More often than not, once those key
areas are unblocked, the shoulder and body will
begin to heal.
The changes one
may experience after Bowenwork range from person
to person. No two people are alike. We most
commonly see:
increased calmness
pain and symptom reduction
improved digestion and elimination
decreased muscle spasms
deeper diaphragmatic breathing
decreased inflammation and swelling
|
a new awareness of one’s body
healing of old injuries and traumas
improved posture
increased circulation and lymph flow
improved assimilation and absorption of
nutrients |
The work is holistic and a full-body response
is almost always felt. Sometimes a practitioner
will focus on a specific area, but most often,
the body is treated as a whole, so that all systems
are affected to create balance.
It’s important to understand that Bowenwork
is not a cure for any ailment. Instead, it activates
the body’s own healing abilities. We have

Bowenwork will help your body respond better
to any therapy program you are currently going
through. Whether it’s a nutritional program
or body therapy. Many of our clients report
that after receiving Bowenwork, their body has
responded so well that they no longer need other
bodywork to remain balanced and pain free.
We also find that Bowenwork is very effective
for those needing rehabilitation after an injury.
This includes sports injuries, falls, car accidents,
emotional shock, etc. In fact, the sooner you
receive Bowenwork after an injury or trauma,
the better we are able to stimulate the body’s
parasympathetic nervous system to speed up the
healing process. We do however; suggest that
you talk with your doctor first if you have
any serious health conditions or new injuries.
What’s so EXCITING is that most clients
report significant change within 2-4 sessions.
Bowenwork is remarkable and often times long
lasting.
You’ll find your experience with us to
be unique and unlike anything you have experienced.
If you haven’t tried Bowenwork, that’s
great…most people haven’t. In fact,
here in Texas there are only six Licensed Practitioners,
so it’s fairly new to this state. Learn
more about what our clients have to say about
Bowenwork.
