Bowen Therapy is an excellent modality to help with either conservative management of disorders of the spinal column or post operatively. It 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.
