Do you have to be a certain age to undergo Bowen therapy?

Does it make sense to undergo Bowen therapy when I currently do not have any health problems?
Just because you currently do not have any pain or discomfort does not mean that you will not have it in the future. The Bowen method is as effective in assisting in the prevention of disease as it is with dealing with disease. Regular

Bowen sessions can strengthen your immune system as the lymphatic system will stay clear, your circulation will be stimulated so that your organs receive the blood supply they need and the nervous system will be activated allowing the functioning of all body systems. All in all, the Bowen method along with good nutrition and regular exercise is an excellent way to prevent disease.

What about if I am pregnant?
Although there are some minimal contraindications for using the Bowen method during pregnancy, as you will see when we discuss the coccyx procedure, most sequences can be used safely and are beneficial during pregnancy. Some sequences can even be applied while you are on your side. Ask your Bowen therapist for details if you are pregnant.
