About McTimoney therapy.
McTimoney
Therapy was founded by John McTimoney in the 1950’s, initially for
treating
people with back pain. However, it proved so successful that he
developed it
for animal treatments.
The McTimoney
technique takes into account the entire body, with special attention
paid to
the spinal
vertebrae.
The adjustments rely on
speed
and
accuracy, rather than force, using only my hands. Targeting
the specific problem areas and
enabling
the muscles.
Massage, stress point
release and
stretches are incorporated into the treatment, complimenting the
McTimoney
adjustments.
Most animals take readily
to the treatment and many find
it
relaxing.However,
it is not a quick fix. The therapy
initiates the healing process, allowing the animal’s body to heal
itself and
each animal responds differently depending to the problem and how long
the animal has had it.
The
McTimoney treatment can help competition and working animals, family
pets,
seniors and post-injury patients as part of the rehabilitation process.
