What does a Canine Bowen Technique treatment involve?
First I will take a case history of your dog then I will observe how your dog moves before examining it closely for any tender areas. This also helps the dog to get used to me touching it before starting the session. The Canine Bowen Technique treatment involves using thumbs and fingers on precise points on the body to make small, gentle rolling moves over muscles and ligaments. These gentle moves disturb the muscle and soft tissue within the body, causing subtle changes, relieving pain and tension, and initiating the healing process. During the session short intervals will be left between the moves to allow this process to take effect. An important part of the technique is to recognise and respect when the dog indicates it has received what it needs for that session. Therapy is never forced on the dog as this will be counter productive to the outcome.
