I am Duarte Augusto, a skilled and certified Advanced Bowen Therapy practitioner, with additional expertise in Chiro Massage, Sports Massage, Remedial Massage, and Traditional Thai Massage, offering over 15 years of extensive experience. I have developed my skills through in-depth training in Alicante, Spain; Chaing Mai, Thailand; and Leamington Spa, England. (See my qualifications page)
My approach is always to spend time listening to you… the PERSON, who has chosen me to help you. I must understand and assess your pain or issue, its reasons and origins e.g. health history, any specific concerns, I may ask about current and previous injuries, surgeries or medical conditions, work, lifestyle choices etc…. and your goals for the session.
All this before I endeavour to help you resolve your problem, assist you in moving forward as best I am capable and as much as your body will allow on the day, so you can enjoy a good recovery and sustainable results, based on the choices you make post treatment.
During your treatment, I am utterly interested in getting to the root of what may be causing your discomfort or pain, I have a thorough “no rush” approach. I explain my findings or ask you questions (and answer yours). I help you understand the “why´s and what´s” based on the information you give me and what I feel at my fingertips, it’s a constant assessment throughout.
You may wear loose comfortable clothing or remain in your underwear (you are fully covered all the time) and work directly on your skin.
Once your appointment is finished on the day, you are supported with an easy-to-follow aftercare protocol.
Also, I provide recommendations such as appropriate movement behaviour, detoxification programmes and exercises.
Sometimes, nutritional information, dietary changes, supplementation, a Bach´s Flowers Remedy tincture to take home, or at the end of a telephone if need be.
Often folk leave a treatment feeling quite different, “taller” they say and very rested, with a new sense and understanding of their body and themselves.
“How many appointments do I need?” you may ask. This varies from person to person. It all depends on your condition on arrival and what you wish for yourself. It makes perfect sense however to return for at least a second appointment to reassess the previous work and address new issues or imbalances that may come up.
For me it´s a privilege to help and nothing exhilarates me more to see anyone get better, moving on and moving forward or up.
