Glen Bowen Works
Human and Animal Bowen Therapy
What to Expect From a Session
The client lies on a soft treatment table, wearing loosely fitting clothing. The practitioner applies a specifically orchestrated and located series of gentle movements composed of subtle rollings of connective tissue.
During the session, the movements are applied in a series of patterns. The practitioner leaves the room between each series so as to allow the brain time to receive and process the messages. These breaks also afford the client a "personal space" so as to achieve energetic realignment without interference, and enter a profound relaxation.
Sessions can last from a half hour to an hour. Subsequent visits are determined by the client's needs. Tom Bowen used to say, "I want to see you whenever you want to see me".
There are no pre-treatment requirements. Physical modalities, such as strenuous exercise, physiotherapy, massage, osteopothy or chiropractic will affect deep tissue, and counteract Bowenwork's ability to stimulate healing. It is advisable to allow at least five days between any other physical modalities and the next Bowenwork® appointment.
A course of three to five treatments is recommended to make the most significant impact. It may be that more or fewer treatments are needed – this will depend on the individual and what is being addressed.
