Because Bowen Therapy is so gentle, it is effective for all ages and conditions.

The gentle nature of Bowen therapy moves means that no matter what the trouble, no matter what the pain level, and no matter how young or old the client is, Bowen is effective and safe for all – from newborns, to expecting mothers, children, and great-grandparents.

The best beginning is from birth

Any new mother will tell you that childbirth is challenging, which is why we call it ‘labour’! It’s not just the mother who faces challenges, however. Babies also can be faced with challenges, some of which can commonly leave them with misalignments of skulls, neck, or shoulders. Misalignments can lead to pain, crying, feeding problems, sleep difficulties and muscular troubles. Contrary to popular perception (“Oh, she’s just got colic, she’ll grow out of it soon”), new babies should be happy, peaceful babies, and any persistent unhappiness should be promptly investigated.
Bowen therapy administered to newborns can realign and correct so many problems, and thus give Baby the best and happiest beginning.

Aging gracefully

As we age, so many of us face increasing difficulties with various ailments that we’ve picked up over the years, through injuries suffered, or things we’ve neglected, or perhaps cascading health problems we didn’t anticipate. Sit for a while in a busy shopping centre, and you will see too many older people moving with obvious difficulty, struggling with disabilities, being brave in the face of pain. Talking with some of them, you will hear too many times that their doctor “has done all he can, so they just have to live with it”. It’s unnecessary it is to live with a painful, and sometimes debilitating, problem which steals the peace and joy we should be expecting in our twilight years, when some gentle Bowen therapy may restore function and pain-free movement once again.

Loving life

Bowen therapy can address many of the common troubles people face, some conditions taking longer than others to heal, of course. The recommended course of treatment for most common conditions is three therapy sessions, each a week apart, which gives the body time to assimilate the information received in a therapy session. How much easier it is to take time out to deal with problems and pain as they arise, than to struggle on, having to make adjustments for pain, spending emotional energy coping instead of enjoying life.
Bowen therapy makes life better at every stage and every age.
