Baby Bowen

Bowen Therapy is extremely effective for babies.  It is extremely gentle yet highly effective being a non-invasive treatment with no manipulation.

During birth babies nervous system can become blocked and the Bowen helps to rebalance this.  

The Bowen moves are preformed on specific parts of the body, depending on the actual problem.  A response is stimulated in the body mechanism sending impulses to the brain which communicates with the whole body allowing it to heal itself.  Signals are sent out through the nervous system and energetic pathway (check notes for word) working with the fascia, causing homeostatis.

Bowen works at releasing tension and is extremely effective on the diaphragm, where blockages are held when baby has colic.

Through releasing the fascia in the diaphragm breathing is aided, along with reflux, hiccups and the digestion process.

The baby becomes very calm and easily passes wind, or fills their nappy easily, during a treatment, as the fascia is released.  Baby may fall asleep, stop crying, urinate and become drowsy.

In babies the digestive track is immature and sluggish and not as efficient as in adults, making it often bloated with gas.  It is difficult to expel air if there are blockages and this can become painful.

Do you ever notice your baby has their legs pulled up towards their tummy, may be red face, crying or grunting, blue around upper lip?  These are a good indication that the baby has wind.

Treatments for babies are less than 15 minutes and follow up treatments may be needed.
