What to expect from your Bowen appointment.
When you make a firm first booking, I will send you a Client Information Sheet and Intake Form to fill in prior to your appointment, either by post or e-mail. If it is a short notice booking, I will ask you to arrive a few minutes earlier than the allotted time so that you have time to complete the forms.
I advise booking an initial block of three appointment. I will fully assess during the first and then follow up on how your body has reacted during the second and third. The number and frequency of subsequent appointments will always be judged on an individual basis. Many clients experience complete relief during the initial block of between one to four treatments (carried out 5-10 days apart) but many with long standing conditions prefer to continue to have regular, maintenance appointments maybe once a month or once every few months. I will discuss and agree all this with you throughout the process and your personal preferences and requirements will always be paramount.
An appointment can last from 20 minutes to an hour an a half depending on what your body needs on that day. You can choose to be fully clothed although light clothing such as a t-shirt, shorts or leggings are preferable. You will never be asked to remove under garments.
I will fully explain the treatment and discuss any worries you may have at the beginning so that you feel confident and comfortable to continue. I will also take a full history of symptoms, medications, lifestyle and so on to build as comprehensive a picture as possible during the initial appointment and will continue to note changes and symptoms during each subsequent appointment.
Treatments may be carried out seated, standing or lying on a couch but your comfort is paramount so every effort will be made to accommodate your individual needs.
An after care sheet will be handed to you at the end of your treatment along with a full explanation of any symptoms you may or may not experience. Bear in mind that every body is different and each person will react differently to Bowen.
