Bowen For Babies & Children

The birth can be one of the most traumatic processes for a baby and the effects can be long lasting. A very quick delivery can sometimes leave a baby feeling jangled and out of sorts resulting in restlessness and difficulty resting. On the other hand, a prolonged labour with the use of forceps, ventouse or other forms of manipulation can cause a misalignment in a very young body. All these issues can contribute to a colicky, restless baby and a very tired set of parents!
The wonderful thing about Bowen Therapy is that it can treat as young as a few days old to the elderly. It has no limitations on age. The baby is able to have Bowen therapy within a day or so after birth. It is a very gentle treatment and babies respond very well to Bowen.

Bowen Therapy is extremely effective for:

Infant colic
Constipation
Blue babies (lack of oxygen at birth)
Misalignments in the spine due to labour
Hiccups
Chest infections, colds and sinus issues
Asthma
Reflux
Restlessness
Premature babies

Baby Bowen is an extremely gentle and easy procedure to re balance your baby. Many expectant mothers have discovered Bowen Therapy during pregnancy and have continued it after the birth of their child; both mother and baby become Bowen clients.

The Bowen Technique is also brilliant for treating children of all ages. Parents and carers have reported improvement in symptoms of many childhood ailments and problems after their children have received Bowen Therapy. They notice better posture, balance, co-ordination and the ability to cope better with the effects of trauma. Benefits may include:

Healthier children with better concentration
Improved sleeping patterns,
Enhanced motor control & behaviour,

leading to quieter, happier children. Some childhood ailments such as autism require regular Bowen therapy sessions.

A child’s Bowen session is very gentle. Many report finding it a pleasant and relaxing experience. All therapy sessions are carried out through light clothing, whilst the parent / guardian remains in the room.
