Cats and Bowen Therapy

Cats are at their most loving and well  mannered when they feel in control of their environment. Anything that interrupts their feeling of control is a nuisance to cats. Over time this can raise your cat’s stress level and lead to anxiety.

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.
