Animal Osteopathy is a branch of manual therapy with the same principles and practices as human osteopathy, evaluating the whole picture, rather than fixating on the site of pain or dysfunction. It is based on the premise that the body has the ability to heal itself. It takes a holistic approach that involves freeing restrictions from joints and fluid systems. This allows the body to self-heal and self-regulate. An animal osteopath uses gentle hands-on palpation and manipulation to assess, treat, release pain and restrictions in the bones, joints, muscles, ligaments, and tissues. That way structural symmetry can be achieved.
Animal Osteopathy improves movement, health and vitality of a variety of animals from sporting athletic animals, working animals, or older animals suffering from arthritis. Small animals are seen in office, while Bronwyn is able to travel to provide treatment to equine clients. Many equine clients show improvement in the presentation of movement patterns, overall structural balance and performance. Combining this with treatment of the rider is recommended for best results.
Having grown up on a farm around animals, Bronwyn has always been interested in their care and well-being. She received her animal osteopathic education through the Canadian Academy of Animal Osteopathy.
For small animal care, please use the Goodwill Healing online booking system. For Equine appointments, please contact Bronwyn directly.
We highly recommend that you have your pet checked regularly by a veterinarian. Communicate freely with your veterinarian about osteopathic care as an adjunct to regular health care.
