What to Expect After The Treatment

Feedback to your practitioner how you are feeling

Feedback varies greatly from client to client but comes in the form of – all of which is considered very normal for your body’s reaction: – Some feel nothing immediately upon finishing the treatment

  • Some feel a lot of reaction during or after the treatment – symptoms such as
  • Feeling sick
  • Feeling dizzy
  • Unbalanced
  • Cold or hot
  • Body aches – during or many days after a session – as if you have done a workout
  • Happy / can’t stop smiling
  • Relaxed and more focussed
  • Emotional / or changed erratic behaviour
  • Exhausted, tired (want to stay in bed) sleepy
  • Sleeping better or for longer periods
  • Full of energy like you want to run a marathon (but please don’t – not whilst you are having the treatments anyway)
  • In less pain
  • Forgetting to take pain medication
  • Opening your bowel more regularly
  • Emptying your bladder more often or regularly without drinking more water

The list of how you are feeling is endless and not exhaustive. Everyone is different and reacts differently. Any reaction is good as it shows that your body has opened and welcomed the Bowen touch. Please call me to discuss any concerns you may have following your treatment.

Feedback from you before and after each Treatment:

  • Your feedback to me before and after each treatment is critical to me understanding my next approach to helping your body self heal.
  • In listening to your reactions to the treatment helps me to tailor a personalised plan.
  • I will also feedback to you on how I feel things went during the treatment
  • Where I feel Bowen cannot help you, I will advise you.

Some Do’s And Don’ts After Treatment:

Do’s Don’ts
Do rest where your body tells you to, but move around a little every 30minutes after treatment – aim for the 3 W’s  – walk, water and wait Don’t do any form of strenuous exercise after each treatment
Do the gentle exercises if any advised by me to enhance repair mode in the area you have come to have treated, Don’t have any other therapies or manipulative treatments up to 5days after each treatment.
Do drink small amounts of water throughout the days following treatment as this will help to drain the body of any released toxins Don’t use Ice or Heat packs anywhere on the body

 
Do always continue to take your medication prescribed to you by a Medical Practitioner.  You should never stop or reduce medication without consulting your Medical Practitioner Don’t have very hot baths, jaccuzis or saunas the day of the treatment  but avoid for as long as possible
Do book your next treatment within the specified time frame that I recommend in order to ensure your body does not lose its repair mode and continues to self heal.
