What is Bowen Therapy

Bowen therapy is a gentle, non-invasive form of bodywork that focuses on stimulating the body's innate healing abilities. At Rivergum Wellness Centre, we offer house visits for Bowen treatments, bringing the therapeutic benefits of this technique to the comfort and convenience of your own home.  During a Bowen therapy session, your therapist will use a series of small, rolling movements over specific points on your body. These moves are designed to release tension, realign the body, and promote overall relaxation and wellbeing.  Before your first session, your therapist will discuss your medical history and any specific concerns you may have. They will then tailor the treatment to your individual needs, taking into account any injuries, chronic conditions, or physical limitations.  During the session, you will be fully clothed and will lie on a comfortable massage table or sit in a chair, depending on your preference. The therapist will use gentle pressure to make precise, rolling movements over muscles, tendons, and connective tissues. These movements stimulate the body's nervous system, promoting a state of deep relaxation and allowing the body to release tension and stress.  Many people find Bowen therapy to be extremely relaxing and soothing, and some even fall asleep during the session. The therapy can also improve circulation, range of motion, and flexibility, as well as reduce pain and improve overall physical and emotional wellbeing.  After the treatment, your therapist may recommend some specific stretches or exercises to support the benefits of the session. You may also be advised to drink plenty of water to hydrate your body and help it flush out any accumulated toxins.  Each session lasts around 45 minutes to an hour, and multiple sessions may be recommended depending on your individual needs. With our house visit option, you can relax in the comfort of your own space after your session, allowing the benefits of the treatment to fully integrate into your body and mind.  At Rivergum Wellness Centre, our qualified and experienced therapists are dedicated to providing high-quality, personalised Bowen therapy treatments to help you achieve optimal health and wellbeing.
