What it is
Bowenwork is a gentle bodywork technique. The practitioner makes light rolling moves over muscles and soft tissue, then pauses for a few minutes before the next set.
You stay fully clothed on a table. The pauses are part of the method.
Why people love it
The moves are so light that people often ask whether the practitioner is still working. That is the method: gentle rolling, then a pause for the body to settle.
It is the session people choose when deep pressure hurts, and the one they schedule on a day they can afford to be soft afterwards.

Discuss injuries, recent surgery, pregnancy, pain or medical conditions with the practitioner and your clinician before booking. We can't book anyone in their first trimester for any experience. Later in pregnancy, check with your OB/GYN or midwife before booking.
