What Is Bowen Therapy?
The Bowen Technique uses precise rolling movements over muscles, fascia and soft tissue, with short pauses between sets of movements. Your practitioner works through your clothing and tailors the session to the concerns discussed in your assessment.
At Best of Health, we take time to listen to your concerns and explain your care. If you are unsure whether to book Bowen Therapy or Massage Therapy, call 587-775-1514 or text us before booking.
How Bowen Therapy Works
During a Bowen session, your practitioner uses precise movements followed by short pauses. These pauses are part of the treatment, so your appointment will feel different from a continuous massage.
You remain clothed in suitable activewear. Your practitioner will explain the session and check in with you about comfort and positioning.

FAQ’s Bowen Therapy
What is Bowen Therapy?
The Bowen Technique uses precise rolling movements over muscles, fascia and soft tissue, with short pauses between sets of movements.
How is Bowen Therapy different from massage or chiropractic?
Unlike traditional massage techniques, Bowen doesn’t use deep pressure or continuous manipulation. It also doesn’t involve forceful adjustments. It works by prompting the body’s nervous system to reset and restore balance.
What conditions can Bowen Therapy help with?
It is commonly used for back and neck pain, migraines, shoulder and low back pain, sciatica, stress, TMJ issues, sports injuries, and general well-being.
Is Bowen Therapy suitable for everyone?
Yes, it’s gentle enough for babies, the elderly, and people with chronic health conditions.
What happens during a Bowen session?
Your first visit gives us time to get to know you, go over your health history, talk about what brings you in, and begin your Bowen treatment. Please fill out your intake form before your appointment. During treatment, your practitioner uses precise movements through your clothing, with short pauses between sets of movements.
Do I need to undress for a session?
No. Wear something comfortable, such as sweats or workout pants and a comfortable top. Bowen treatments are done through clothing, so please avoid jeans or thick materials.
How long does a session last?
At our Airdrie clinic, the first adult Bowen appointment is 90 minutes and adult follow-up appointments are 60 minutes. Child appointments are 30 minutes. Please see the fees and booking section for current options.
What does Bowen Therapy feel like?
Most patients find it very relaxing. Some feel subtle sensations like warmth, coolness, or tingling and twitching of the muscles during or after the moves.
How many sessions will I need?
First-time Bowen patients need to book three appointments in total, each 5–10 days apart: your first appointment with assessment and treatment, followed by two treatment appointments. Please book all three when you start. Further appointments can be discussed with your practitioner.
Are there any side effects?
Mild reactions such as tiredness, emotional release, or temporary soreness may occur as the body shifts after the sessions. This can last off and on for a few days.
Can Bowen Therapy be combined with other treatments?
Yes, but it’s usually recommended to allow a 5 days between Bowen and other bodywork therapies so the body can fully respond. During your initial 3 sessions, we do not recommend other treatments.
What should I do after a Bowen session?
Stay hydrated, move gently (like walking), and avoid heavy exercise for 24 hours to support integration.
Is Bowen Therapy covered by insurance?
We offer direct billing to most insurance companies. Coverage for Bowen Therapy depends on your insurer, your plan, and the practitioner providing your care. Please confirm your benefits and any referral requirements with your insurer before booking.
How often should I have Bowen Therapy?
Book your first three Bowen appointments 5–10 days apart. After these initial visits, discuss the timing of any further appointments with your practitioner.
Can children or babies have Bowen Therapy?
Yes, it is safe, gentle, and effective for infants and children, often used for colic, sleep issues, or growing pains.
