Mother and baby.
The spine and pelvis of an expectant mother are especially y vulnerable because of the stress of carrying an unborn baby. Hormonal changes make the pelvis suppler during the latter part of pregnancy. This is when the terrible back aches seem to not only intensify, but also appear more frequently as the baby gets heavier. The instability of the pelvis can lead to other strains being felt in the spine and supporting muscles and ligaments.
The birth itself can leave the mother in a lot of lower back and pelvic pain. There is also the added strain on the spine whilst nursing, feeding and caring for the baby.
Most procedures of Bowen Therapy can be performed on an expectant mother almost up until labour begins. After the mother has given birth, there are certain Bowen moves which can be performed with a few hours. These moves help to calm the body and aid the body in returning to its natural state, prior to pregnancy.
Baby
The birth is one of the most traumatic processes a child will go through. The child is able to have bowen therapy within a day or so after birth. As it is so gentle, the child is barely aware of being treated.
Bowen Therapy can also help treat:
-
Infant colic
-
Blue babies
-
Misalignments in the spine due to labour

and has been great for hiccups
