Cat & Canine Muscle Release Therapy

CCMRT is a non-invasive soft tissue therapy for dogs and cats that allows the gentle release of muscle groups and stimulates all body systems.  It involves a sequence of gentle yet dynamic moves across muscle fibres, interspersed with pauses in the treatment.  The moves stimulate the brain and nervous system to initiate a holistic healing response, and the rest periods allow the body to fully respond to each series of moves.  This results in a reprogramming of the body to its normal state.

In this way, CCMRT provides relief from pain and stress, leading to faster recovery times, increased performance and longevity, greater comfort as well as happier cats and dogs that are more willing and have a more positive attitude.

CCMRT can be helpful in the following situations: 

• for emergencies such as torn muscles.
• for remedial purposes, targeting a particular issue.
• for therapeutic purposes, to address the overall health of the cat or dog.
• for prevention, decreasing the likelihood of injuries or illness. 

Conditions that respond well to CCMRT include:

• Muscular atrophy
• Behavioural issues
• Neck restrictions
• Not tracking up
• Uneven stride
• Uneven flexion
• Lacking balance
• Sore back
• General soreness
• Lameness
• Lactic acid retention
• Deterioration in performance
• Uncharacteristic change in temperament
• Hindquarter or shoulder stiffness

CCMRT provides the following benefits:

• Fast relief for stressed or injured animals.
• Non-invasive treatments are gentle and relaxing for the animal.
• Improved healing and recovery times.
• Injury prevention through improved flexibility.
• Decreased rate of injury, leading to improved longevity for performance and working dogs.
• Improved performance due to increased flexibility, strength and range of motion.
• Results hold as long as the animal is not re-injured.

CCMRT initiates an interaction of the body systems, and responses may include:

• Improved muscular range of motion and joint mobility
• Relief from acute and chronic musculoskeletal pain
• Improved circulation
• Stronger immune system
• Elimination of toxins
• Improved lymphatic drainage
• Improved nutrient intake
• Quicker recovery time from injury, illness and surgery
• and much more.

Other things you may notice after an CCMRT treatment include:

• Softer, shinier, more even coat
• Improved behaviour and attitude towards handlers or to work
• Less fidgety, needy or demanding
• Standing more square
• Greater suppleness
• Easier and freer movement

Significant improvement or changes would be expected to be noticed over three treatments, but may occur after the first treatment.  I suggest you leave about an hour for a CCMRT treatment, perhaps a bit longer for the first treatment.  The treatment for a dog typically takes about 45 minutes, and the rest of the time will be devoted to gathering information, exploring the animal's issues and situation, and a full assessment.  Treatments for cats may take just as long, or may be very short.  Cats are very sensitive, and may only require or take a couple of moves.

For each treatment please arrange to be present to assist in providing details and help with handling the animal.

CCMRT is complimentary to veterinary medicine, and certainly does not replace veterinary advice.  If your animal is under veterinary care at the time you wish to commence a series of CCMRT treatments, it is recommended that you advise your veterinary professional.

Please ensure, for the welfare of your pet, that any therapy you consider for your animal is conducted by a certified and qualified practitioner who has undergone specialised and recognised animal training.  Cats and dogs are designed to move on four legs, and humans are designed to move on two legs, therefore the musculoskeletal system is intrinsically different.  This means that the human Bowen technique cannot be suitably transposed to a cat or dog without adequate training.
