Q. Should I check that my therapist is registered?

Yes, it is very important. The Bowen Practitioners must be registered & must hold a certificate from a reputed Bowen Therapy Academy/School. Most of the Bowen practitioners in India are registered with "The Bowen Therapy Academy of Australia (BTAA), Bowtech- The Original Bowen Technique ".
(BTAA Basic Bowen course certificates are allotted only when we complete all the 7 modules of the Bowtech procedures (Advanced Bowen Therapist should have completed the SP1 or SP2) plus we have to clear 120 hours of Anatomy and Physiology Class with a Certificate for the same from a Doctor or Institute approved by the Bowen Instructor. Also we are required to complete training in Senior FIRST AID and some training or experience in Business and Communication skills.)

Q. Is Bowen therapy an ongoing treatment therapy?

No, most conditions are essentially resolved in 2 to 3 sessions; however chronic conditions may require more extensive programs. Many clients have routine maintenance treatments at different intervals to maintain body balance and musculo -skeletal integrity, avoid degeneration and as an investment in their health.

Q. How long does a treatment take?

Ideally 3 consecutive sessions are required, once a week with a gap of 7 to 10 days between the 2 sessions & without having any other kind of bodywork in between. The gap between the 2 sessions should not exceed 10 days. Some chronic conditions may require more than 3 sessions, in such cases the 4th session (4-5-6 sessions) should be done after a gap of maximum 15 days. Each Bowen session would range from 30 minutes to one hour. The treatment time can vary depending on the condition being treated and also on the client factor determined during the initial assessment.

Q. Why should I choose Bowen?

Bowen Technique is a non-invasive and a very subtle technique, suitable for infants & the elderly. Since it is a holistic technique, rather than focusing on a single complaint, Bowen Technique addresses the entire body, by restoring its balance. In contrast to other hands-on modalities, where the practitioner imposes correction on the client through manipulation, Bowen Technique helps the body in healing itself, via the body?s innate healing mechanisms, with minimal intervention.

Q. Will my symptoms reappear?

You will definitely find relief from your symptoms with the Bowen Technique. That is the very purpose of this tech ? it gently helps the body to repair itself and establish a balance. However, if you re-injure yourself which is a possibility due to body wear and tear you may require maintenance occasionally. It?s like servicing your car on a regular time interval to maintain its top performance, so too your body needs an occasional Bowen maintenance. Bowen results are profound and lasting. If you do not have any significant issues or disorders you need to address, you can just have the Bowen Therapy treatment for complete relaxation, stress management and rejuvenation. From a beauty angle, the Bowen therapy invariably makes you look younger and the skin glows after every Bowen session.
