For the first 5 days after a treatment, your body will be influx. During this time, it can be quite easy to counteract thebenefits of the treatment. This is how to optimally benefitfrom the treatment:

ON THE DAY OF THE SESSION:

  • Do not sit too long. Get up every 30 minutesand walk around a little. (This limit does not apply to

naps!)  • Drink plenty of water.

  • Do walk, even if you can only fit in a brief one.

  • Do NOT take a hot shower, hot tub, sauna or bath,

nor use ice packs.

  • Do NOT do a workout today, not even any Bowen

exercises that might have been prescribed.

 THE REST OF THE WEEK:

  • Should you have a flare-up of symptoms, walk, doexercises, and drink more water. Do not hesitate to callme with questions or concerns.

  • "The Three W's": (1) WALK at least 10 minutes eachday; (2) WATER: Drink at least 8-10 glasses per day; and(3) WAIT a week before you have any kind of body

therapy. Any form of bodywork, even a backrub, canshort-circuit the healing process and bring you back to"square one."

  • Avoid extreme heat or cold: Hot or cold showers, hot

baths, ice packs or heating pads during the 5 days afterthe treatment will just wipe it out.

  • Balance your weight on top of both feet:

Don't hang out one hip−balance your weight on

both feet or just subtly shift back and forth (the"Baby Rock").

 Try getting into your car with "butt in reverse" andgetting out of the car by swinging both legs out atthe same time.
