BABY BOWEN - Children 3 and Under

Service Description

Bowen therapy is suitable for children and babies, even newborn babies. If your baby or toddler is a restless sleeper, suffering from colic, has ongoing angry outbursts / high emotions, the Bowen technique could help you and your child. The exceptional gentleness of the Bowen, combined with their effectiveness, makes the therapy a powerful treatment for toddlers and babies. Newborn babies often have delayed intestinal peristalsis due to an immature digestive system. This can lead to constipation, reflux, difficulty in digestion or restless sleep. Bowen treatment for babies is very effective in releasing tension in the diaphragm, possibly a contributing factor to colic, as it is often one of the tensest areas of a baby suffering from colic. Only four movements on the back and three more on the baby’s stomach are enough to soothe the affected areas. The baby can be held by the parent, lying down, or sitting and playing while the procedure lasts; it is important for the baby to feel comfortable and safe at all times. All children are different, and the number of treatments required depends on the complexity of their problems. However, usually after one to three treatments, colic, restlessness, sleep issues, and behavioural issues completely disappear or significantly decreases. The baby/toddler becomes more relaxed, sleeps deeper and longer, feeds better, calms down and has more frequent bowel movements. Often a child’s physical health can be directly related to, and affected by, the physical health and emotional well-being of the mother. That’s why the Bowen therapist also takes into account the mother’s emotional state, which allows for even greater precision of treatment. This is particularly important in the treatment of chronic and “untreatable” conditions. Bowen therapy is extremely effective in treating many other causes of discomfort in babies and children. Some examples of conditions in babies and children that often respond favorably to Bowen treatment are: -Colic -Unsettled or distressed babies and toddlers -Toddlers and Babies with poor or disrupted sleep -Babies with feeding problems -Projectile vomiting, reflux, impaired digestion or other gastric disorders -Bloated stomach and gas, constipation -Ongoing angry outbursts
