FAQ's

How many treatments will I need?

Everyone is different and the response to any Soft Tissue or Bowen Therapy session can be immediate, or you may require 3 - 6 sessions. The number of sessions is very much determined by:

• The type of condition affecting the client

• The severity of their condition

• The length of time that they have had the condition

• Lifestyle factors (diet, exercise, pressure of occupation and  family)

• Whether the condition is a single condition or whether the client suffers from multiple conditions. 

After an initial course of treatment many people choose to check in monthly for a top-up, to maintain their general wellbeing or as a scheduled 'de-stress'. Other clients will get back in touch if they start to feel aches or pains, arranging treatments as and when they need them.

Can you diagnose my health problems?

Bowen Therapists cannot diagnose, but like any hands-on therapy we are able to get a feel for which areas of the body are holding tension – I am always happy to give you full feedback on what I find during a treatment session.

What issues can Bowen Therapy treat?

Bowen Therapy frequently offers pain and emotional relief where other modalities have failed. It is safe for all ages from newborn babies through to the elderly and infirm.

Specifically, it can help with: -

• Muscular and skeletal problems in neck, shoulder, jaw, hip, knees, ankles and back, including sciatica, whiplash, arthritic pain, fibromyalgia etc.

• Problems with posture and body alignment

• Migraine and recurring headaches

• Sports injuries - treatment and prevention

• Work-related injuries

• Stress management, ME, fatigue and sleep problems

• General relaxation and body balancing

What should I wear?

Bowen Therapy is carried out through loose lightweight clothing, so wearing something that you can move in easily, but that isn’t too heavy or thick is perfect.
