FERTILITY
Let us assist get you by getting your body in
the best shape possible to help you conceive.
We offer couples the opportunity to take control of their
own fertility by suggesting health and nutritional advice
and stress and anxiety relief. These, together with our
treatments, help prepare the body for conception and a
healthy pregnancy.
From the couples whom we see, we have discovered that when
your body is not in optimum health, or is overloaded with
toxins, or is not given enough nutrients, these can
dramatically affect the body's ability to reproduce. We look
at many areas - things like smoking, caffeine, alcohol,
exercise, weight and diet.
Can complementary therapy really help couples conceive?
Conventional medicine can offer much to those with fertility
problems. But today, more and more people are turning to
alternative therapies before embarking on the sometimes
traumatic and expensive process of assisted conception,
while others use such therapies to help them deal with the
side effects of drug-based treatments and support them
through IVF.
For the couples who are experiencing challenges conceiving,
the focus for us does not lie with the condition itself - we
focus on the whole person, treating the mind and the body."
We don't offer a magic solution. However, their aim is
simply to get both partners into optimum condition
physically and mentally so that conception can happen
naturally.
The results at the clinic for couples going on to have a
natural and healthy pregnancy are encouraging with 80% going
on to achieve this.

MUM
Let us assist get you by getting your body in the best shape
possible to help you through your pregnancy
Bowen
Therapy has a very important role to play in the health care of
women both during and after pregnancy. The Bowen Technique (Bowen
Therapy) is integral for Mums-To-Be as it is one of the only
therapies that can be performed in its entirety with the patient
sitting down or lying on their side.
As the centre
of gravity changes during pregnancy, so do the stresses on the
spine. Many problems suffered during pregnancy may be directly
related to the health of the spine. Common pregnancy pains are
easily and gently relieved almost immediately with Bowen Therapy and
it is very relaxing for the expectant mother.
Common
pregnancy pains the mother may experience are:
Backache
Sciatica
Aching legs
Headaches
Fatigue
Nausea / Dizziness
Breathlessness
Heartburn
Decreased energy levels
Bowen Therapy
can treat all COMMON PREGNANCY pains!
The spine and
pelvis of an expectant mother are particularly 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.
Pregnancy can
create new problems but can also exacerbate existing ones
The process of
childbirth puts tremendous stresses and strains on the
musculoskeletal system. This includes the spine, pelvis, supporting
muscles and ligaments.
As these
structures are suppler for some time after birth due to the hormonal
changes, there may be an increased susceptibility to injury.
The birth itself can leave the mum 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.
After mum 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
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/jaw due to labour
The wonderful thing about Bowen Therapy is that it can treat as
young as a few days old to the elderly. It has no limitations on
age. In fact, Bowen Therapy has proven to work wonderfully with
Colic babies, it has helped treat Blue babies and it can help relax
hyperactive children.
A
successful birth for both mother and child will be more easily
achieved when healthcare is established as an essential element
during pregnancy, labour and after birth. Bowen Therapy can help
maintain health and relaxation for both mother and baby.
Many expectant mothers have discovered Bowen Therapy during
pregnancy and have continued it after the birth of their child; both
mother and baby become Bowen clients.
