Is there anyone who cannot receive a Bowen treatment?
No. Bowen therapy is a safe and effective treatment for people of all ages from newborn
to the elderly.

What can I expect from a treatment?
A given treatment lasts anywhere from 15 minutes an hour. During the treatment the patient is on a treatment table with a draped blanket and is encouraged to do nothing more than deep focused breathing. The practitioner will perform a series of moves and then leave the room for several minutes to allow the message to transfer from the muscles to the brain before continuing with the next move. One of the unique aspects of Bowen therapy is that it typically takes between three to five treatments to provide lasting relief for a given condition. Between 85 – 90% of people respond favorably to Bowen therapy. People who typically do not respond are those who smoke and people with extensive scarring.
