When it comes to medicine and treatments there is a lot that the general population does not know. The science of medicine and healing is a vast one.

Many different people believe many different theories on how to treat and fix ailments of the body. Here at Naperville Integrated Wellness, we want to approach medicine in a new light. Embodying a mindset where we can heal the body naturally without additives. We believe our bodies are sacred and we can fix problems with the right treatment.

One of the treatments our center offers is Bowen Therapy. This treatment is specifically designed to target the nervous system, which we believe is the source for everything, also specifically targeting your nerve receptors.

These receptors are essentially all over the body. The receptors act as a sensor for the body to detect changes such as pain, pressure, and inflammation. The focus of this type of therapy is to refurbish the nervous system and create the original balance it once had.

What happens in a session

Go over medical history

Decide what needs aid the most and focus on that particular area.

Generally lie down like you would for a massage; can be in chair or standing if that’s what’s necessary

Gentle, but precise movement that requires some pressure is applied to different parts of the body

Breaks in between movements so the body recognizes this healing technique

This causes relaxation and release of muscle tension

Less is more, meaning less pressure and movement but more results.

The overall process is between 15 minutes to an hour.

Many people are surprised at their first Bowen Therapy session. They expect something different. However, our method is designed to require less strain on the body to create optimal results. After the first session, usually, you will come back once a week for 3 weeks. After this bout of sessions, there is a substantial break in treatment for about 4 weeks. After that, only a few sessions are recommended because your ailment should be dissipating.

There is some aftercare involved required by you, the patient. We want you to follow these 3 rules

Walk Around- walk frequently whenever you can, this keeps the body stimulated.

Have Patience-You must wait at least a week before your next session. Even if you are not seeing results right away they come with time.

Keep Hydrated- Drinking water is good for you always but this will help get rid of toxins.
