Bedwetting in Children
How does Bowen help my child to stop wetting the bed? Bowen works with the nervous system and can help to strengthen the signal between the bladder and the rest of the nervous system including the brain. Children report having a stronger sensation of 'needing to go' which helps wake up deep sleepers. Most children who have come to see me have previously tried using bedwetting alarms without success because either their children sleep too deeply and don't wake up from the alarm, or only a small amount of urine has leaked and the alarm hasn't gone off. Bowen instead stimulates the 'inner alarm' by creating a stronger sensation of needing to go to the toilet, which works in most cases. Another way Bowen may help is in the way that it relaxes the muscles. The bladder is also muscular, and when it is relaxed it is able to expand more and hold more urine, therefore reducing the need to go to the toilet. Both of these actions working together helps children to remain dry at night. When will my child stop wetting the bed? Typically children stop, or greatly reduce the frequency they wet the bed after three sessions spread over 3 weeks. Although everybody is different, often there is improvement after the first session. The 2nd and 3rd sessions reinforce the inner communication between the bladder and the brain allowing the treatment to hold and help your child to remain dry long term. Very occationally I have had children return to the clinic in a month or so for a top up treatment, but for the most part children remain dry.

The toughened tissue that is designed to take the repetitive flexing and extending of the knee while performing vigorous activities like walking or running is no longer taking the full load due to the misalignment. The movement of this misaligned knee during activity causes additional stress on the surrounding tissues which quickly become inflamed during activity.
Luckily those who are frequent walkers or runners usually are fit, healthy people, so when they stop the activity that is aggravating the knee it soon recovers and feels better, however because the alignment of the knee joint has not been corrected, next time they begin vigorous activity the pain flares up once again. If one is to ignore the pain and continue activities that cause knee pain, after time these knee issues tend to progressively get worse, and the pain becomes more severe. This can lead to leg muscle weakness and worsening mobility, potentially causing weight gain which adds further stress to the knee. Using Bowen Therapy we work to correct the alignment of the knee, so that the joint tracks properly, therefore correcting the underlying problem so that you get lasting relief from your knee pain while performing your physical activities.

What is Golfer's Elbow?Golfer’s Elbow, scientifically known as epicondylitis, is a condition where the tendons that connect the forearm to the elbow become inflamed. The pain initiates from the bony bump-like structure of the elbow and travels down the inside of the forearm. The name is a misnomer, in that it doesn’t just affect golfers. Golfer’s elbow is different from Tennis elbow in that, tennis elbow affects the tendons on the outside of the elbow, while Golfer’s Elbow is caused by damage to the tendons on the inside of the elbow. It is also less common than tennis elbow. What Causes Golfer's Elbow?The condition gets its name from an overused hand motion, like that of a golfer. Golfer’s Elbow is caused by forearm muscle overuse due to repetitive movements like flexing, gripping or swinging. These movements can cause tiny tears in the tendons. Overuse of tools like hammers, rakes and paintbrushes can cause Golfer’s Elbow as well. When to Seek Treatment for Golfer's Elbow?Early treatment of Golfer's Elbow can facilitate a faster recovery and reduce the chance of re-occurrence. Bowen Therapy may help to increase blood flow to the area to increase the rate of healing and speed up recovery. Bowen can also help by working to release tension in the flexor muscles of the forearm which could be putting additional stress on the tendons of the elbow and preventing recovery. With Bowen Therapy treatment, the resting period required before relief from the pain is experienced tends to be significantly less than without treatment.
Without allowing the injury to heal, and continuing the activity that is aggravating the golfer's elbow, the pain will likely get worse. In some extreme cases, medical procedures or surgery might be required.
