Bowen Technique

The Bowen Technique is a gentle and non-invasive complementary therapy designed to promote the body's natural ability to heal and realign itself. Developed in the 1950s by Tom Bowen, this therapy employs a series of targeted moves interspersed with periods of rest, allowing the body to respond and adjust naturally.

Bowen Therapy is designed to address and treat the entire body. As the body undergoes adjustment and rebalances, the positive effects can influence various bodily systems, not limited to just the muscular system. This holistic approach explains why individuals may experience beneficial outcomes for conditions that might seem unrelated, including IBS, chronic fatigue, and asthma.

What to Expect during a Bowen Therapy Treatment in Glasgow

When scheduling your first Bowen Therapy session, we suggest booking at least two appointments, about a week apart. This approach allows your therapist to evaluate how you respond to the treatment and adjust the follow-up accordingly. Many of our clients notice a positive change after three to four sessions, especially when they are held on a weekly basis.

During your session, you will be comfortably positioned on a therapy table, though some techniques may be performed while seated in a chair or standing. Most treatments can be performed over light clothing, but certain techniques are more effective directly on the skin.
We recommend that clients bring along comfortable attire, such as a pair of shorts or leggings and a vest top or t-shirt. While each session will be tailored to your specific needs, the initial treatment will focus on the entire body. Typically, you can expect attention to be given to your lower and mid back, legs, upper back, and shoulders, concluding with gentle movements for the neck.

Due to the gentle nature of the Bowen Technique and the ongoing response of the body for several days afterwards, it is recommended to avoid other therapies for up to seven days post-session as it could impact the effectiveness of the Bowen work.

The Bowen Technique is designed to complement, not replace, medical advice or treatment. We recommend you consult with your doctor about any health issues to ensure you receive the highest standard of care.
