Dogs and Bowen Therapy
Animals act differently when there is pain or any discomfort. Bowen Therapy is recommend monthly for good health when your pet in in later years to assist mobility, improves their activity and freedom from pain.
Cats and Dogs now can have the advantage of a Natural Therapy treatment known as Bowen Therapy for Animals. Although very gentle, it is more than capable of activating the relaxation response of the muscle, assisting in the correction of the constrictions of fascia (coating over muscle) that will release muscle contractions, toxins and allowing the return of the circulation of the necessary nutrients that are beneficial to the overall health of the animal.
Joan’s speciality in treating animals is by providing practical results through a non-invasive and gentle method when addressing the stresses, strains and physical difficulties. Therefore allowing the animal to do what comes very naturally….achieving the necessary balance and healing that ultimately promotes better health and well being in the whole animal.
This simple technique is unique in that it is work you do with the animal, not to the animal. Rather than using a pre-determined or prescribed course of action, the practitioner’s observations of the animal’s physical and mental response to the moves are used to determine the course of action.
Joan has been a dog owner and handler for over 15 years and is skilled in Dog Obedience training. Animals love getting Bowen treatments and are usually very relaxed during and after treatment. Joan loves seeing dogs become more mobile and almost puppy like in their behaviour after a treatment. Throughout her work Joan has discovered that the animals she has treated, including her own, have responded to Bowen Treatment within a short time.
