There are a few things to consider after your session and following the advice given here will ensure that you optimise the results of the work put into you.
Water - it is essential that you drink plenty of water after your session. After a session of Bowen therapy the body will start to increase blood supply to nerve endings. The movement of lymph around the body will also be affected. The effective functioning of these systems is reliant upon water intake. We know we should be drinking around 2 litres a day and remember, drinking it at intervals so that the body uses it efficiently is much better than gulping it down in 1 or 2 sittings so that the body eliminates it as waste (urine).
Walk - It's important to assist the lymphatic system by moving around and helping to eliminate waste products and toxins from the body. After treatment get up and move around every 20 mins or so for the next day. Walk around your desk at work or climb the stairs at home but try not to remain in the same position for too long.
Week - The recommended time between treatments is 5-10 days with a week being optimum. There are exceptions to this rule for instance re-injury, accidents, making a client with a degenerative condition or one who is terminally ill comfortable, backache during pregnancey. These are circumstances under which we could treat within that week depending upon the individual.
