Canine Bowen Therapy (CBT) is based on the principles of the Bowen Technique, a successful human bodywork-system named after its developer, Tom Bowen (1916-1982), which was developed in Australia during the 1950’s.

Canine Bowen Therapy is a holistic and remedial therapy that involves the rolling of soft tissue over the muscle fibre with the fingers. These movements are performed with very gentle pressure applied over certain areas of the animal depending on where the problem is. Canine Bowen Therapy addresses all soft tissue, muscle, ligament, tendons, fascia, skin and organs.  

It offers the dog a gentle non-invasive hands-on technique that aims to achieve balance and harmony within the body, resulting in fast and lasting relief from pain and discomfort and causes overall general wellbeing.

In a healthy animal’s body all the cells are performing at an optimum level. When there is a disruption to that natural state, either from injury, build up of toxins, disease and anxiety the balance within the body is disrupted.

Bowen Therapy is a wonderful modality that works by restoring the body’s natural healing process. Once this balance is re-established, health and comfort can be achieved.
