Better Bodies Ltd - Bowen Therapist Mapua is a wellness centre at 43 Chaytor Rd, listed under Ngatimoti in the Tasman district, with a Google rating of 5.0. By its name, it offers Bowen therapy, and Mapua is the area it serves.
Bowen therapy is a gentle form of bodywork, in which a practitioner makes small, precise moves over muscles and connective tissue, with pauses in between. It is often used for muscle tension, aches and general relaxation, though it is a complementary therapy and does not replace medical care. Before a first session, expect questions about your health, injuries and what you hope to achieve, and wear loose, comfortable clothing. Tell the practitioner about medications, pregnancy or any condition you are being treated for, and see a doctor first for new or severe pain. Ask how many sessions are suggested and how long each lasts. Regulars drink water afterwards, rest as advised and book follow-up sessions close together at first.
For people in Mapua and around Ngatimoti and Tasman, Better Bodies is worth contacting to ask about Bowen sessions.
