Pregnancy

Bowen during pregnancy

It’s an exciting time for a new mother-to-be, but pregnancy and motherhood can come with challenges, and aches and pains through pregnancy and beyond are extremely common.

Bowen Therapy has no contra-indications during pregnancy and is effective at relieving symptoms such as…

  • Lower back pain
  • Symphysis Pubis Dysfunction (SPD)
  • Pelvic pain
  • Sacral pain and discomfort
  • Posture
  • Breast Pain/Tension

As posture changes as the pregnancy progresses, the spine and pelvis become vulnerable due to the challenges of carrying a baby. Pregnancy can create new problems such as lower back pain, swollen ankles, heart burn and Symphysis Pubis Dysfunction (SPD) and may also exacerbate existing ones. 

Bowen can be performed with you either sitting in a chair or lying on your side or back, with clothing remaining on.

Bowen for young ones

A Baby Bowen treatment is extremely gentle and doesn’t take long to perform. Colic and general discomfort can quickly be alleviated in most babies often in just one session. 

Older children seem to enjoy receiving Bowen too and find it to be relaxing and calming. All treatments are carried out through light clothing and the parent or guardian remains in the room. Conditions which may respond well include:

  • Asthma
  • Bed-wetting
  • Colic
  • Constipation
  • Growing Pains
  • Headaches
  • Musculoskeletal Issues
  • Posture, balance and co-ordination
  • Sports injury 

Have a look at the testimonial below from a new Mum who came to see me for some Bowen Therapy after having her first baby.

If you are pregnant and don’t feel like you are blooming, or you feel your baby or child could benefit, why not give me a call and to see if Bowen Therapy could help you?

A Bowen session costs £45 for adults. Children under the age of 14 are £20 and babies are free.

Payment by cash, cheque or direct bank transfer.

"I have recently moved to Fowey and two weeks after my recent move and having a baby I woke up one day unable to walk due to severe back pain. I was fortunate enough to find Rebecca at Fowey Bowen Therapy who I can honestly say was my life saviour. On meeting Rebecca at my first appointment she was professional, friendly and empathetic.  At this point I was unable to walk, bend down and was in severe pain. After my first appointment I can honestly say it was like a miracle. My mobility increased and pain level decreased dramatically. I have seen Rebecca three more times and I am now completely pain free. I would recommend Rebecca as a Bowen therapist to anyone. I honestly don’t know where I would be now if I hadn’t met her and had the treatment. Rebecca also kindly treated my 6 week old baby as she was suffering from dreadful colic. Almost instantly my daughter was much better and the colic had eased. I will definitely use Rebecca again in the future  and have recommended her to all of my family and friends. Thank you Rebecca, you and the treatment you have provided has been wonderful".
