Carole now sees many of her canine clients at her Woodford Halse clinic, with dog’s travelling from all over the country to see her. A few home visits are available if necessary for your dog. Each month Carole offers a very limited number of complementary 1 hour Health & Well-being consultations at her clinic for people to meet Carole, discuss their dogs needs and the current level of health of their dogs. Please contact Carole to chat about your dog’s needs and find out more about Canine Bowen Technique, make an appointment, or to be added to the waiting list for one of her complementary consultations.
Canine Bowen Technique
The Canine Bowen Technique (CBT) is a ‘light-touch’ therapy offering dogs a gentle, non-invasive and effective hands-on technique that may promote healing, pain-relief and body/energy rebalancing. It is based on the principles of a successful human modality – the Bowen Technique – which was developed by Tom Bowen, in Australia in the 1950’s, and brought to the UK in the early 1990’s.
Client cases often seen at Carole’s Canine Bowen Technique clinic are:
- Acute injury – sprains & strains.
- Chronic Illness and degenerative disease.
- Improving the dog’s quality of life.
- Rescue/rehomed dogs.
- Relaxation of tenseness from previous trauma.
- Pre and Post surgery – reducing recovery times.
- Performance of competition, showing, sports & working dogs.
Dogs have an innate understanding of their own bodies requirements. Carole believes a dog’s awareness works on a level many humans cannot even begin to interpret.
Canine Bowen Technique is not forced on the dogs being treated, the dog works with the practitioner and may indicate when they have received what they need from the treatment.
Practitioners use fingers and thumbs on precise points on the dog’s body and apply a gentle rolling movement over muscle and soft tissue. These gentle powerful moves are interspersed with short breaks to allow the dog’s body to assimilate the work and start the process of rebalancing/realignment.
Regular maintenance treatments may be of particular benefit for some dogs, especially the elderly, those with chronic conditions or active working dogs.
