All teenagers are inherently strong, smart and bold but sometimes need help overcoming
health and hormonal problems so that they can truly flourish, allowing them to reach their potential.
Jo has helped
many teenagers, with her therapies, to overcome these difficult times. PMS, cramps or headaches around the time of periods
can be so debilitating but these problems can be alleviated, avoiding a prescriptive approach. Using a combination of
Bowen, reflexology and looking at the diet and supplements can all help teenagers with many difficult medical problems, including:
- PMT/PMS
- Headaches
and Migraines
- Low self esteem
- Depression/feeling blue
- Extremely painful/heavy periods
- Growing pains
- Acne
- Bloating/IBS
- Fatique/CFS
- Fibroids
- Backache
- Stress
Case Studies
(also see case
studies for Bowen & Reflexology relating to teenagers)
Chronic Fatigue
Syndrome - Age 13 years
Rosie's parents did not recognise their little girl. She had turned
from a vibrant, happy girl with a zest for life, to a child who was exhausted constantly, pale, unhappy and did not want to
leave the house. Rosie had been diagnosed with CFS 6 months previously. After 6 sessions (10 days apart) of a
combination of Bowen, reflexology and Indian head massage Rosie was able to return to school full time. She had colour
in her face and started to look forward to life. She continues to have maintenance treatments every 8 weeks which help
her energy levels, to balance her hormones and re-build her immune system.
Chronic acne - Age 15
years
Sean had been suffering with acne on his face and back for 2 years, which had progressively become
worse. Due to his acne he had lost his self esteem and become introverted and low. After looking at his diet,
water intake and treating him with Reflexology and Bowen, Sean's acne reduced dramatically. His mum
commented, ' since having the treatment Sean is not having aggresive outbursts and he is more able to cope
with the pressures of his school work'.
