My dad is a bowen therapist and I get him to give me a treatment every few weeks. I suffer from extreme anxiety and carry a lot of that stress in my neck and shoulders. The Bowen really helps to get everything back into place. He's converted a lot of his massage patients to Bowen. Depending on what you're seeking the treatment for, you may need a few sessions, and you may experience tiredness or mood swings for a few days afterwards, but you can lessen the 'side effects' by drinking lots and lots of water to flush the toxins through your body
