One of the most common things I hear is: “What actually is Bowen therapy, and how does it help?” So, I thought I’d put together a little Q&A to give you an idea of what to expect:
❓ How does it work?
Bowen uses gentle, rolling movements on specific areas of the body. These light touches stimulate your body’s own healing process – almost like giving it a little nudge to reset and rebalance.
⏱ How long is a session?
Usually between 45–60 minutes.
💡 How many treatments will I need?
Everyone is different. Many people feel changes within 1–3 sessions, while longer-term or complex conditions may need a few more.
🌿 What makes Bowen different from massage or physio?
It’s much gentler. There’s no force or manipulation – just light movements with pauses to let your body respond. Clients often notice shifts during the treatment itself.
👕 Do I need to undress?
Nope! You’ll stay fully clothed – just wear something loose and comfy.
💤 Can Bowen help with sleep, stress or anxiety?
Definitely. Bowen calms the nervous system, eases tension, and helps your body find its “rest and digest” state. Many people sleep better and feel less stressed after sessions.
🔥 What about pain, sciatica, or chronic conditions like arthritis or fibromyalgia?
Bowen helps relax tight muscles, improves blood flow, reduces pressure on nerves, and supports long-term conditions more comfortably.
✨ What does it feel like?
Relaxing. Some people feel warmth, tingling, or subtle shifts… others even drift off to sleep!
If you’re curious, why not give it a try? Whether you’ve got an ongoing issue or just want to support your general wellbeing, Bowen could help you too 💚
