Bowen Therapy has demonstrated remarkable results in aiding dogs suffering with neurological conditions by targeting the fascia and the nervous system directly.
Neurological issues can impact the brain, spinal cord, and nerves, leading to challenges in movement, cognitive function, sensation and more.
Bowen is particularly beneficial for dogs recovering from spinal disorders like Intervertebral Disc Disease (IVDD), whether through conservative management or after surgical intervention. We have witnessed incredible results in both paralysed dogs and those with neurological deficits.
Bowen can assist with faster recovery times from surgery. After surgery, your dog is often immobilised for days or perhaps even weeks which has an impact on both the physical and psychological well-being of your dog.
Restricted movement leads to reduced circulation of lymph and blood, muscle wasting (atrophy), reduced muscle strength and flexibility, overcompensation with another body part leading to tight and injury prone muscles, poor joint stability, and Range of Motion (ROM). Poor blood circulation leads to restricted supply of nutrients and oxygen to the cells and the anaesthetic and medication that is administered after surgery leaves an accumulation of toxins in the tissue.
Restricted movement can also lead to boredom, anxiety, and stress, affecting the mental state of your furry friend. Bowen Therapy, through specific soft tissue or fascial release and integration techniques, stimulate specific receptors that enable the body itself to correct dysfunctions and restore homeostasis (balance) on a holistic level and rid the body of any toxins.
