After Your Bowen Treatment
Immediately after your treatment, and for the next couple of days, please do the following:

Walk
Bowen Therapy works on the lymphatic system and movement helps it integrate. If you work is seated at a desk or in a driving job, try to have a break every 30 minutes, get up and walk around.

Wait and See
Response to Bowen Therapy may be immediate or may take longer. If you are still in acute pain after 2-3 days contact me. Make sure you return for your next treatment after about a week.
LISTEN TO YOUR BODY - ALLOW IT TO REST AND REPAIR - BUT ALSO MOVE AND KEEP IT HYDRATED
Understanding Post-Treatment Responses
Every Body is different, so we cannot say how an individual will feel after a Bowen Treatment. Some people will feel tired and may need to sleep, some may feel relaxed, some energised, others may not feel any different.
Bowen Therapy sets overnight so you may feel changes the next day, or the day after, but again this is different for every person.
Bowen Therapy will continue to integrate for the next 7-10 days. During this time refrain from any other body work, ie, massage, physio, osteo and chiro. Please also avoid using ice packs, heat pads or tight strapping as these may all stop the Bowen working.
