What to Expect During Your First Visit
In your first appointment at Bowen Medical Group, you and the therapist will get to know each other. With that being said, you can ask the therapist some questions which you think are important for your comfort and recovery. The Therapist will also ask necessary questions about your issues (i.e. health history, family background, life circumstances, if you sought any treatments in the past, and goals) and use that information to create a unique treatment plan for you. ​
