Frequently Asked Questions

How many sessions are needed?
Sessions last between 30 and 60 minutes, and, ideally, take place approximately 5 to 10 days apart. Although people often notice significant benefits after one session, most practitioners will recommend further sessions.

Three to five sessions are usually all that are required for most sports injuries, work-related injuries, and problems brought about by long-term overuse.

More complex conditions usually improve with additional sessions.

Neurological and some chronic conditions may require ongoing maintenance sessions.

What should I expect in a session?
Your practitioner will take a brief health history and ask about the reason for your visit so as to select the best Bowen moves to apply that day.

The actual hands-on work may take very few of the 30 to 60 minutes of the entire session. After each series of moves, your practitioner will make sure you are comfortable and will leave the room to allow your body time to begin responding.

How much does a session cost?
Prices vary depending on location and the credentials of the practitioner. You can expect to pay a similar figure as a massage or other bodywork in your area.

What should I expect after a session?
Some changes may be noticeable right away: reduced pain, greater range of motion, a sense of relaxation and well-being.

You will most likely notice changes in the next several days as your body continues the process that began during your session. Sounder sleep and increased energy are commonly reported.

You may be assigned "homework" or gentle Bowenwork exercises. Do them daily beginning on the day after your session. This is an essential part of your care and will improve your results.
