You will be given instructions at the end of each treatment, this could range from drinking plenty of water, to a few light
movements or exercises to be done daily. Nothing strenuous.
On the day of treatment.
If you have a long drive
home after a treatment, stop the car every half hour or so and walk around, making sure you and your car are safe. This aids
lymphatic drainage and helps the body take on the work. Avoid sitting still at home for more than half hour at a time, just
a few seconds moving about will help.
Water.
Drinking water is an important part of Bowen aftercare. Many problems
are exacerbated by dehydration and increasing water intake alone can lessen symptoms. After a Bowen treatment your body will
start eliminating toxins, water in your body is used for this and so drinking more water will help control any reactions.
Good hydration is also required by your cells, to enable them to send signals to your brain about what is going on in your
body and so aid the healing process. Aim to be drinking 2 litres a day, start with 500ml if this seems daunting.
Injury
and Re-Injury
If you have a fresh injury or a re-injury between treatments, please call and make an appointment to see me before the next
scheduled appointment and I will see you as soon as possible. Bowen can work very well on a fresh injury and can in many
cases speed up the healing process.
