EQUINES, CANINES AND FELINES love a Bowen treatment. Bowen Therapy benefits all animals and works both energetically and structurally.
The Animal Bowen Technique is a ‘light-touch’ therapy offering horses & dogs a gentle, non-invasive and effective hands-on technique that aims to promote healing, pain-relief and body/energy rebalancing.
Animal Bowen Therapy is a gentle pain relief system that signals the brain to initiate the healing process. These signals are sent via specialized nerve cells found in the fascia or covering of the muscle. By applying the moves over the muscles in specific areas in a sequence, the body receives the message to take the spasm out of that muscle. This gives the body a chance to achieve balance that promotes well-being of the whole animal.
Joan has successfully performed Bowen Therapy on dogs, cats, cows, goats horses and alpacas.
Animal Bowen Therapy is recommend monthly for good health when your pet in later years to assist mobility and freedom from pain.

Bowen Therapy for Cats
Joan has been a cat owner and breeder of Burmese cats for over 10 years. Bowen for animals can deliver profound rapid and long-lasting relief because the treatment uses a sequence of small positive gentle moves made at specific points on the body that are non-invasive and used for relief of pain.
