Massage Therapy/Bowen Therapy
Massage can be beneficial for pets, as well as for humans. Our experienced practitioners help to reduce pain and improve physical function with therapeutic touch techniques. Bowen Therapy is a specific type of massage that uses the thumb and forefingers in a rolling technique that helps to stimulate nerve function throughout the body. By these small moves by the manipulation, it was assumed that the brain focuses on this area. After each period of manipulation, a two-minute break is taken in the procedure to allow the body to rest, and then the procedure is restarted. It is said that these breaks promote the healing process. This technique is used to treated musculoskeletal problems of the shoulder, back, and neck pain.
Therapeutic Cold Laser Therapy
Cold Laser Therapy uses low-intensity laser beams/light energy and is a method of treating pain and injury as well as a variety of other pet conditions, which some consider technological therapy. The theory behind the treatment is that lasers stimulate healing that helps promote recovery faster. Tissues are not stimulated or repaired by heat because low levels of light to not produce heat.
