Bowen Therapy Explained, Without the Mystery
Updated: 5 days ago
Light rolling moves, quiet pauses and time set aside for you. Those are the main things to picture when you think about a Bowen session.
I'm Brett, and I offer Bowen at my home clinic in Chorley. If the name is new to you, here's a straightforward explanation of how I work.
A few moves, then a pause
Bowen is a gentle, hands-on approach using small rolling moves over muscles and soft tissues. You stay fully clothed, with no oils, deep pressure or forceful adjustments.
Rather than working continuously, I make a few moves and then step back. These hands-off pauses are one of the distinctive features of Bowen, and can feel quite different from a massage.
The pauses are part of the way Bowen sessions are structured. I don't ask you to do anything during them. You can simply rest until the next set of moves.
We start with a conversation
Your first visit takes about an hour, including a consultation. We talk through your health history, how you're feeling and what you'd like from the appointment, so I can consider whether a session is suitable.
You're welcome to ask questions before we begin. You can also tell me if you need a different position, feel uncomfortable or would like to stop. There's no need to sit quietly with a question or concern.
Your visit, your choice
Some people describe their sessions as calming, but everyone's experience is different. I won't promise a particular result or tell you how you should feel afterwards.
Before booking, useful questions include: What happens during the appointment? What should I wear? How much does it cost? We can talk these through, and you can decide whether you'd like to try a session.
Bowen is a complementary therapy, not a replacement for medical diagnosis or treatment. Please keep following advice from your GP or other healthcare professionals.
