Dogs
It can be distressing seeing your best friend in pain or struggling. Our furry companions bring us so much joy and love! If your dog is limping, sore to the touch, recovering from surgery or an accident, struggling with stairs or movement, or even just being less approachable, Bowen can help.
Using a gentle, non-invasive, hands-on technique, I can help your dog find balance again. A Bowen treatment is incredibly relaxing and can help your dog chill out, relieve them from pain and anxiety, or speed up recovery. By releasing tension throughout their body, their movement and energy levels will improve.
Bowen does not replace veterinary advice and treatment, however it can be used in conjunction with and complementary to veterinary and other healing modalities as it activates the body’s own powerful, natural healing processes.
Every treatment is tailored to your specific dog’s needs. My therapies and techniques include Bowen, energy work, emotion coding, musculoskeletal unwinding, red light and essential oils.
Meet
Whether we first meet via phone, email or in person, I like to have a chat to get an idea about you, your dog and what is going on for you both. I also like to spend a little time introducing myself to your dog and letting them feel comfortable with me first before I progress. I always like to say hello first!
Assess
I start by assessing your concerns and looking at what is being exhibited by your dog. We chat through what you've noticed, if there have been any known injuries or incidents and just a general feel for what's been going on. This is followed by a full body palpation - looking for any tension within the body or 'sore' spots.
Treat
Once the assessment has been completed I generally have a good idea of where to start with their treatment and will get into it. We can discuss as I go, however its often better if there is quiet, so that your dog can focus on what is going on in their body and not be distracted. We can always chat through any questions you might have at the end of the session.
Follow Up
A treatment can take up to 7 days to fully work through the body, so changes continue to happen over this time. Its generally a good idea to have a follow up session a week later, to reassess and see how the dog has progressed.
Sometimes with chronic pain 3-5 sessions may be required to see significant change in your animal. Sometimes 2 sessions are all that is needed if the problem is recent or acute.
FAQs
A minimum of 3 sessions is a good starting point.
The number of sessions is dependent on the level of restriction and pain, plus how long your dog has been having a problem.
Chronic pain (longer than 3 months) can take longer to unwind, whereas acute pain (short term pain) can often be unwound quicker.
