CANINE BOWEN THERAPY
Caring for a dog who is potentially in pain can be a worrying & confusing time. Canine Bowen Therapy is suited to dogs whose owners wish to understand how their dog communicates their pains through behaviour & body language in order to make their life more comfortable. Through a combination of this non-invasive physical therapy & practical advice & education I aim to improve your dog's mobility while helping you gain the confidence to recognise signs of pain & take action to improve your dog's quality of life.
Canine Bowen Therapy is a popular choice for;
chronic pain
osteo arthritis & other joint issues
stiffness or muscular tension
recovery from injury
back problems
neck problems
digestive issues
stress & anxiety
emotional trauma
post surgery rehabilitation
physical maintenance for dogs in competitive /non-competitive sports /working trials
as a general boost to overall wellbeing
During a session the therapist makes gentle but firm rolling moves over specific points of the body which target the layers of 'fascia' (a type of connective soft tissue rich in nerve receptors). The session is interspersed with breaks which allow the brain & nervous system to process, recalibrate & effect changes within the body & to give the animal time to process what is happening.
Typical results reported by client carers after a series of 3 to 4 successive Canine Bowen Therapy sessions are ;
notable reductions in pain /discomfort
improved posture & reduced stiffness
increased range of functional movement
reduction in recovery time following high energy activity
improvement to their overall wellness & mood
