Water: Please ensure that you drink at least 5 glasses of water a day.
Moving: In the days following a Bowen treatment, try not to sit still for more than 30 minutes at a time. A little walk around the room to have a stretch is all that is required to keep things moving.
Exercise: Continue with any comfortable and gentle exercise regime that you already have, unless otherwise advised.
Keep your feet together: Put your weight on Both Feet when you stand up, get out of bed, a chair or a car. This will help bring balance back into your body.
Responses: The following may be experienced, hot and cold flushes, headaches, emotional releases, thirst, tiredness and body aches and pains. These are all positive sign that the body is trying to make changes. These responses usually clear after a few days.
Medication: Do not alter any medication or diet that has been prescribed for you.
Avoid extreme heat or cold: No heat pads, ice packs, hot showers or hot baths.
Other Therapies: During a course of Bowen treatment do not have any other physical therapy within 7 days before your Bowen treatment or within 7 days of your treatment programme ending. This is to ensure the body is not overloaded with information.
