Oxford Holistic Academy

Tina Reid
The Bowen Technique
What to expect
Each treatment consists of a full constultation, the procedure and aftercare.
I advise you to wear loose light clothing and expect to be here between 35-70 minutes.
The treatment is very gentle therapy performed on specific points on your body with breaks in between to allow the body time to respond.
We generally recommend a course of 3 treatments but each treatment plan is designed to suit your personal requirements.
Aftercare will be provided and ocasionally exercises.
General aftercare advice:
To drink plenty of water.
Refrain from hot baths for at least 24hrs.
Try not to sit in one position for long periods of time.
Walk, walk , walk - at least 20mins aday
Wait 5-10 days before another treatment to allow the body time to respond
Do the exercises as described but not immediately after the treatment
Use Apple cider vinegar for inflammation
The Bowen Technique
The Bowen technique or Bowen therapy is a gentle, holistic, remedial body therapy, based on the principle of `less is more’
When our bodies get injured, we compensate by using different muscles as a form of protection.
In the long term this causes many problems including ‘learnt behaviour patterns’.
Fascia or connective tissue has memory and learnt behaviour is a major factor in
re-occurring back pain and spasm.
Bowen helps our bodies to reinstate normal working behaviour.
Treatment costs £35 a session £100 for 3 sessions
Bowen has helped many of my clients each presenting different conditions. Please see client testimonials for some of their feedback.
