Osteopathy is a gentle manual technique, resulting in:
- Improving mobility of joints
- Releasing muscle tension
- Reducing pain and inflammation
- Enhancing blood supply to the tissues and lymphatic drainage, thus promoting healing
Osteopathy can benefit all animals:
- Young/symptoms free animals
—> by addressing restrictions in joints and myofascial tissues we can improve posture and biomechanics resulting in improved performance (sport dogs) and preventing future lameness by optimising movement patterns
- Animals with orthopaedic or medical problems
—> improving joint mobility decreases pain and improves movement
—> improving blood flow and lymphatic drainage contributes to faster healing
- Animals recovering from surgeries & scar treatment
—> promoting faster healing and prevention of excessive scar development
—> restoring mobility of the tissues for old scars
