FAQS
What sensations might I feel?
Examples of these are, but not limited to, feeling hot, cold, tingling, emotional or tired. The duration of the sensation will be specific to you as no individual is the same. Often experiencing a reaction like this is a good thing as your brain is soliciting a change or starting the healing process.
What do I wear?
Light, loose clothing is advised. Things to avoid are thick jumpers without a t-shirt under, tight leggings, jeans, collared shirts.
What is the cost?
Please see Contact & Pricing
Why are there breaks between moves?
In Bowen therapy, the therapist will leave the room for short periods at specific times throughout. These short breaks are carefully placed to allow the brain time to respond to the moves we have performed. The practitioner will also being paying close attention to how your body is reacting to the treatment and may take longer/shorter breaks where required.

How long does the treatment last?
1 hour. Your treatment will begin with a consultation or review if you have previously had treatment for the first 10-15 minutes. There is typically then around 45-50 minutes of hands on therapy, dependant on your condition and symptoms.
How many sessions will I need?
Initially we advise at least 3 sessions 5-10 days apart. You may wish to carry this on for more sessions which will be discussed in the review before each treatment. Depending on the severity of the symptoms or condition, we may look to follow up weekly, fortnightly, monthly, or ad-hoc to keep you pain free.
What is the aftercare?
No intense exercise the day of treatment, no contact sport for 48 hours, lots of water, medication as prescribed by healthcare professional, avoid extreme heat or cold after treatment (eg ice bath or hot tubs).
Do you travel?
If you are unable to travel because of mobility or other circumstances, it may be possible for the treatment to happen within your home. This will incur an additional fee based on travel cost and time taken to travel. Please contact Ryan directly for more information.
Who is Bowen suitable/safe for?
All ages! If you have a body…then Bowen is meant for you. Families may wish to book consecutive slots, this can be accommodated and we will treat each person one after the other.

Can I use with other therapies?
It is not advised to attend any other form of physical therapy whilst undergoing Bowen treatment. It is fine to be under the care of a healthcare professional such as your GP or local hospital.
Can you diagnose?
Although we are very knowledgeable with all things to do with the body and brain, we are not doctors. This means we cannot diagnose you symptoms. If you are deeply concerned by your symptoms, please contact your GP or healthcare professional.
Cancellation policy
Ryan tries to accommodate to all his clients needs and understands plans change and things come up. Cancellations within 48 hours of the session will require full payment, so it is always best to contact as soon as you realise you may need to move or cancel an appointment.
