Bowen in Nottingham

What Can I expect During a Treatment Session?

A complete Bowen treatment lasts up to 45 minutes. If possible you should wear light, comfortable clothing. Treatment takes place lying on a couch, but people can also be treated sitting if necessary. A comprehensive health history is taken during the first visit, followed by a full treatment, this process lasts an hour. Subsequent treatments last 45 minutes. As a rule only a small number of treatments are needed to bring about a strong bodily response that initiates healing, even from long standing problems.
