A non-invasive treatment to alleviate pain, discomfort, and emotional stress. The purpose is to target muscular issues using techniques that put different pressure on certain areas of the body. 

Maintenance treatments can help keep muscles relaxed, for the animal to live and perform optimally and reduce the chance of injury.

For rehabilitation may focus more closely on specific areas of tension or pain with the aim to relieve discomfort, relax and rebalance muscles to therefore improve recovery.

Heat therapy is known to accelerate recovery and healing whilst also reducing pain through producing a sedative effect in the sensory nerve endings. 

Heat helps the muscles relax and release, which can be beneficial for tense, stiff muscles or knots - as well as reducing muscles spasms, which can be causing pain. 

Blood pressure often can be lowered using heat therapy.

Provides a non-intrusive approach to soft-tissue manipulation; gently moving tissue at a surface level to release restricted fascia.

Direct MR focuses on applying specific techniques of pressure and movement to the areas of restriction. Deeper fascia surrounding the skeletal structure are released to restore structural balance, reduce pain and increase range of motion.

Fascia issues are not detectable on MRI, CT or X-rays so only hands on can detect localised tension and compensatory restrictions.

Kinesio Taping is a therapeutic procedure using specialist tape to help animals with pain management and rehabilitation. The key benefits are;

• Relieve muscle pain and tension.
• Reduce inflammation and increase circulation.
• Re-educate muscle memory and improve body awareness.
• Support the musculoskeletal system during training.
• Encourage full range of motion in the musculoskeletal system.

Taping usually lasts around 3-5 days, but can be hugely beneficial in just 24 hours.

The light produced by a laser has the ability to be absorbed by tissues, creating both photothermal and photochemical reactions that create a therapeutic benefit.   

The laser can be focused to a part of the body and can enhance muscle regeneration, wound healing, joint healing and control of acute and chronic pain.

Lasers are used for surgery, rehabilitative therapy, management of chronic conditions and pain control. It is a natural and painless therapy providing a vast range of health benefits.
