Contraindictions: There are no contraindictions that would keep a person from recieving Bowen sessions. Bowtech is safe and beneficial, from immediately after birth to just before death. There are, however, a few procedures that contraindicated in specific circumstances.

The "CoccyxProcedure" is not done on pregnant women.
The "TMJ Procedure" is not done on people whose jaws have been surgically altered at the condyles.
The "Breast Tenderness Procedure" is not done on women with breast implants.

How Bowen works:

The Bowen technique helps the body remember how to heal itself The gentle yet powerful Bowen moves send neurological impulses to the brain resulting in immediate responses of muscle relaxation and pain reduction. The moves create energy surges. Electrical impulses sent to the nervous system remind the body to regain normal movements in joints, muscles and tendons. This helps relieve muscle spasms and increase blood and lymph flow.

Until you have actually experienced a Bowen session, it's hard to imagine exactly what Bowen is. Although it is difficult to explain Bowen without comparing it to some of the more widely known techniques, we need to be sure to distinguish Bowen as its very own technique.
