Bowen Therapy is applied through light clothing and each treatment is up to an hour long. Often, the initial treatment will 'reset' the body and activate the body's self-healing abilities which already results in some pain relief. Depending on the nature of the pain or illness, one or a few subsequent treatments may be required to make the pain relief more permanent.
The experience of a Bowen treatment is gentle and relaxing. Due to the non-invasive nature of this technique, Bowen Therapy is safe for people of any age group including elderly people and newborn babies. The aim is to restore the body’s balance within a few weeks so that ongoing treatment is not needed. Some chronic diseases may benefit from a more regular treatment plan.
Bowen Therapy can assist in a number of conditions, including:

I play cricket, but as I’m getting older my shoulders and lower back are giving me grief. Physio wasn’t really helping. I got sick of taking painkillers every weekend. The wife suggested it might be time to chuck it in. I found out about Bowen therapy on the Internet. I had fortnightly treatments with Astrid for a couple of months. It was great. Astrid came to my house and the treatments really helped keep the pain under control. I’m so glad I gave it a go. Cheers Astrid for proving my wife wrong.

Post treatment advise
Your body will respond and change for up to five days after each treatment. In some cases, the body can go through a healing crisis where symptoms can worsen for a short period before they get better. This is a good sign that the body responses well.
You can help your body to work through the re-balancing by: Drink plenty of water. Bowen therapy softens the tissue, increases the blood supply to nerves and muscles and detoxifies the body. All these processes heavily rely on adequate water supply. Well hydrated tissue can rid metabolic waste easier and you will feel better faster.
Gentle movement. Bowen therapy regulates not just the posture but also physiological processes like the lymphatic system and blood circulation. To assist your body with this, gentle movement like walking can help. Please avoid longer periods of sitting down after the treatment. This will help to get the most out of your treatment.
Wait 7 days before applying other modalities. To allow enough time for your body to respond to the treatment please wait about one week before you receive other physical therapies such as reflexology, physiotherapy, osteopathy, chiropractic, massage, acupuncture. This ensures that your body has enough time to process the information and is not overloaded.

I get migraines way too often. I sit in front of a computer screen all day at work. When it gets busy I seem to get blinding headaches. I heard about ethereal touch and decided to give it a go. The remedial massages are great. I have treatments whenever work starts to get too busy and the migraines are no more. Astrid is really awesome, I wish I’d found her earlier. I highly recommend bowen.
