  • Anxiety

  • Cannot tolerate being in crowds or loud/noisy environments

The best time to have a Bowen treatment is ideally as soon as possible after the concussion occurred.

Bowen balances the flow of lymph fluid and increases blood flow which aids in the healing process after a concussion.

Did you know…… Bowen is great for kids who have suffered a sport related concussion.

Concussion occurs when there is a hit or bump to the body, neck or head which forces the brain to move in different directions within the skull.

Concussion creates a huge energy crisis within the brain causing a flood of neurotransmitters which causes the brain to work overtime to restore the chemical balance.

After a concussion it is recommended to seek medical attention to rule out any serious issues.

The general medical advice after a concussion is to have physical and cognitive rest for the first 24 to 48 hours following the concussion with a gradual return to normal activities over the following 4 weeks.

For some people, this will be enough and they will slowly recover and feel okay to return to normal duties.

However, for other people they will find their symptoms linger or worsen.

This is where Bowen can help.

Did you know…. most concussions occur due to falls, car accidents, work place accidents, assault and some from sport.
