BOWENWORK

WHAT IS BOWENWORK?​​

​

WHAT DO I NEED TO KNOW BEFORE A BOWENWORK SESSION?​​​

Bowenwork is likely very different than any other type of bodywork you have received. Sessions usually last between 45 minutes and 75 minutes based on the procedures needed on that day. 3-5 sessions are recommended and should take place every 5-10 days to help the body establish new patterns, process new information, and move away from old patterns. During the initial sessions, it is recommended not to receive other bodywork so that the body does not get overloaded.

​

WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT DURING A BOWENWORK SESSION? 

During a Bowenwork session, clients will stay fully clothed and will lie on a massage table covered by a blanket. Small gently rolling movements will be done at specific parts of the body. After each set of movements, there are short pauses that can last several minutes at a time. During these pauses, the body processes the movements and integrates the new information. Many people report feeling very relaxed and often fall asleep. To end the session, there will be a time of rest on the table before going on with your day. This time of rest will vary based on the movements of the session.
