After the Bowen Session

WALK

Gentle Walking

WATER

WAIT

 

Allow time for the session to work.

Refrain from any other bodywork

for at least five days.

Bowenwork can take up to ten days

to be fully integrated in the body.

The next session is best scheduled between five

and ten days later. Seven days is ideal.

 

Be Patient. Believe The Process. Trust The Technique.

Bowenwork is a gentle non-invasive soft tissue

relaxation technique. Bowenwork stimulates the

innate intelligence of the body to reconnect,

rebalance and release tension so the body can

begin to heal itself.

Bowenwork is a unique method of working on specific

points on the body by making moves over the skin,

fascia, muscles, tendons and ligaments that result

in a rapid release of tension, postural realignment

and quite often pain relief.

 

 

HOW DOES BOWEN WORK?

By lightly contacting the skin, taking the slack

by stretching the skin and fascia, this stimulates

proprieoreceptors, which are highly specialized

sensory receptors on nerve endings,

found in muscles, tendons, joints, skin, fascia

ligaments and the inner ear.

During the "challenge" and the "rolling" part of the

Bowen moves, impulses are sent to the spinal cord

and brain to break up the pain pattern being held in

the body and stimulate the body to heal itself.

BRING THE BODY BACK TO ITS

ORIGINAL BLUEPRINT OF HEALING

Some Bowen moves produce referred reaction that

affects the internal organs, nerves,

lymphatic and detoxification.

THE HEALING OCCURS AT ALL LEVELS

• Cellularly

• Physically

• Chemically

• Emotionally

• Mentally

• Energetically

• Structurally and

• Spiritually

There are frequent pauses between sets of moves,

which gives the body time to integrate and process

the moves. The body continues to respond for several

days afterwards unless interrupted by injury or strong

external stimulation.
