How often is Bowen therapy performed? Understanding the duration and number of therapies

Bowen Therapy is a gentle and very effective treatment method that helps with many physical problems.

Despite the fact that results are often visible after just a few sessions, the number of treatments needed to achieve the desired effect can vary considerably.

In this article, we will explain the recommended number of times Bowen therapy is performed to solve various problems, both for adults and children, and what the recommended course of therapies is.

When and how often is Bowen therapy for adults performed? 

For adults, the number of Bowen therapies needed depends on the type of problem they are dealing with, as well as their overall health and body's response to the therapy.

In general, however, the recommended number of treatments is as follows: 

Chronic pain (back, neck, shoulders, joints): 

For chronic problems such as back or neck pain, 3-5 treatments are often required, usually 5-7 days apart.

After this period, significant improvements can occur, but additional therapy may be required to maintain long-term results. 

Migraines and headaches: 

Migraine problems usually require 4-6 treatments. Here, too, the therapies are scheduled at weekly intervals. Bowen therapy can significantly reduce the frequency and intensity of headaches. 

Tensions and stress: 

For problems related to stress and muscle tension, 2-3 therapies are recommended. Bowen's therapy works to release body tension, which contributes to greater calmness and better well-being. 

Rehabilitation after injuries: 

For rehabilitation after injuries (e.g. sprains, operations), 4-6 therapies are recommended, as Bowen therapy helps restore mobility and reduce pain.

The exact number of times Bowen therapy is performed depends on the individual case. 

Digestive and breathing problems: 

If you have digestive or respiratory problems (e.g. asthma), the number of therapies can be 3-4 to achieve an improvement in organ functionality and general well-being. 

How often is Bowen therapy performed for children? 

For children, especially babies and young children, Bowen therapy is very gentle and is adapted to age and specific problems. Usually, the number of therapies needed is slightly less, as children often respond quickly to therapy. 

Colic and sleep problems (infants): 

Babies with colic or sleep problems usually need 2-3 treatments to alleviate the problem and improve the baby's overall well-being. 

Developmental and motor problems (child 1-5 years): 

If a child develops motor or mobility problems, 3-5 treatments are usually required. Bowen therapy helps to relieve tension and improve coordination and body balance. 

Treating tension, anxiety or stress: 

For older children who are under the influence of stress or tension, 2-3 therapies are recommended. This therapy is very suitable for children who have problems managing stress and anxiety.
