Why Use Canine Bowen Technique ?
Typical areas which can respond well to Canine Bowen Technique include :
Acute injury eg sprains and strains.
Chronic conditions and degenerative disease - helping to improve the dog’s quality of life.
Rescue/re-homed dogs - relaxation of tension caused by earlier stress and trauma.
Pre– and post-operative surgery - assisting recovery times.
However, Canine Bowen Technique therapists will not claim to be able to “cure” a problem. Our aim instead is to facilitate the marshalling and channelling of the dog’s own resources so that it can determine how to heal itself. In this respect, therefore, Canine Bowen Technique can be almost all-embracing in its effectiveness. Indeed, one of the nice things about Canine Bowen Technique is that there is no situation where it cannot be used safely and effectively.
Although classed as a ‘remedial’ therapy, Canine Bowen Technique can also be used to good effect as a maintenance and prevention therapy, helping to keep the body in optimum balance. To this end, it can be very beneficial for active, hard-working dogs or dogs used for competitions in obedience, agility, or trialling.
Experience has shown that Canine Bowen Technique can be very useful for dogs with :
Allergies and Skin conditions
Arthritis and Muscular Sprains & Strains
Back problems
Lameness and other Gait problems
Hip & Elbow Dysplasia
Working or Competition dogs
Dogs that pull on the lead
Aggression and other Behavioural problems
Stress & Anxiety disorders
Cystitis & Urinary disorders
Recurrent Ear problems
Sciatica
Obviously, veterinary-diagnosed conditions such as joint dysplasia will not be ‘cured’ by Canine Bowen Technique. Nevertheless Canine Bowen Technique may be very beneficial for dogs with these sorts of conditions, because the rebalancing/optimising effects both locally and elsewhere in its body may help to improve its quality of life.
