Bowen Therapy for children from newborn to teenager, they all seem to respond so quickly and positively to this gentle fascia release work.
Babies can respond positively within hours (think reflux, projectile vomiting, constant crying, generalised unsettledness and inability to settle for sleep, etc).
Young children can also have very quick improvements in their issues, physical or mental-emotional (think unresolved injury recovery, anxiety, asthma, hormonal or digestive upsets, bedwetting, etc).

No wonder, their fascia is still quite fluid and will pick up on the stimulus of the treatment pretty much instantly. From there, it's a matter of watch the change unfold... it may take only 1 session, it may take 6. But it's such a gentle treatment, it's perfect for kids 😊

This 12-year old is deeply relaxed during his treatment.
The school holidays can be a good time to book your child in for Bowen. Just use the booking link below, or call me to discuss and arrange the best time and day for you: 06 752 0503.

Hi Neighbours,

Are you tired of waking up with back pain or feeling restless after a night's sleep?

If so, consider an orthopaedic mattress to improve sleep quality and well-being.

But the question arises, "Is an orthopaedic mattress good for everyone?"

We'll explore the benefits of orthopedic mattresses and help you decide if they're the right choice for your sleep needs.

Orthopaedic Mattress vs. Normal Mattress
The term "orthopaedic mattress" often sparks curiosity, and rightfully so. While it sounds like a specialised medical product, it's important to understand how it differs from a regular mattress.

Regular mattresses may be comfortable but might not provide enough targeted support for back pain or sleep posture.

Orthopaedic mattresses are designed to focus on aligning the spine and relieving pressure. They can help ease back pain, joint discomfort, and muscle tension, leading to healthier and more restful sleep.

Can Anyone Use an Orthopaedic Mattress?
You might wonder if orthopedic mattresses are exclusive to those with specific health conditions.

The truth is orthopaedic mattresses are designed to support your body's natural alignment.

It suits athletes, busy professionals, parents, or anyone who values good sleep. They are perfect for anyone seeking a more supportive and comfortable sleep surface.

Consider an orthopedic mattress if you want to wake up refreshed and pain-free.

What is an Orthopaedic Mattress, and How Does It Help Reduce Back Pain?
An orthopaedic mattress is not a gimmick; it's designed for orthopaedic health. It uses memory foam or latex to support your body's shape.

By aligning your spine, it reduces pressure on joints and muscles. This benefits those with back pain or arthritis. The support prevents sinking, avoiding discomfort.

Studies show it improves sleep quality and reduces back pain. Find the right firmness and type for your body and sleep preferences.

Beds4U: Your Destination for Orthopaedic Mattresses and Better Sleep
An orthopaedic mattress can be a game-changer for better sleep and back pain relief. It benefits anyone who values proper spinal alignment and comfort while sleeping.

The mattress focuses on supporting the spine and providing personalised comfort. It makes it valuable for all types of sleepers.

Whether you experience back pain or not, an orthopedic mattress can significantly improve sleep quality and overall well-being. It's a worthwhile investment for a healthier and more restful sleep experience.

At Beds4U, we understand the importance of a good night's sleep and offer a variety of orthopaedic mattresses to suit your needs.
