Say hi to Loki, a beautiful Rottweiler who thinks heโs a big lap dog! Loki had been struggling to get up after exercise, and his wobbly back legs, (known as ataxia) were causing concern for his family. Despite being on anti-inflammatory medications, his symptoms would return as soon as the course ended.To help Loki, we introduced gentle therapies and made a few lifestyle adjustments, like prescribing short walks only to prevent overexertion. Loki has been receiving Bowen therapy, red light treatment, and cold laser therapy with us, and the results have been amazing! Even after his first session, Lokiโs owner noticed a difference, he was whinging less and seemed more comfortable. Now, after a few sessions, this wonderful boy is walking so much better and is no longer wobbly in his hindquarters. Loki has such a special way of showing his appreciation. Heโll back himself into me so I can work on all his sore spots, then turn his big, adorable head to give me โThe Look,โ as if to say, โThatโs the spot, donโt stop!โ Heโs like a giant teddy bear with a heart of gold. ๐ Weโre so proud of how far Loki has come and grateful to be part of his healing journey. Hereโs to many more happy, wobble-free walks for this gentle giant!

Meet Chester, the Sweetest Little Poodle! ๐ฉต๐ฉต
Chester is a 10-year-old Poodle who came to me experiencing weakness in his back legs, a painful back, and a lack of his usual enthusiasm. His vet had diagnosed arthritis in his hips, and his owner noticed he was yelping while playing with his favorite toys. Poor Chester had even stopped wagging his tail and was holding it down, a clear sign that he was in discomfort.
During his first session, I also found some restrictions in his neck and shoulder. After just one treatment, Chester showed a remarkable improvement; he was already pulling his owner down my driveway and into the treatment room for his next session!
With a few more treatments, Chesterโs owner reported wonderful progress. Heโs no longer yelping, has become much more playful, and best of all - his tail hasnโt stopped wagging! At his last session, his tail was in full swing the entire time, showing how much better heโs feeling.
Now, Chester is ready to move onto a maintenance plan to keep him happy and mobile. Well done, Chester! ๐ Youโve come so far!
If your furry friend is showing signs of pain or discomfort, like holding their tail down or avoiding play, gentle therapies like the ones Iโve used for Chester can make a big difference. ๐๐ผ
Cats Deserve Wellness Too! ๐พ
Did you know that cats can benefit just as much as dogs from therapies like Bowen, Emmett, and laser treatments? These gentle techniques are ideal for helping cats move better as they age, recover from surgery or injuries, and stay pain-free.
This is Oberon (Obi), who joined me for his session last week. Years ago, Obi suffered a back and hip injury, which led to arthritis. Now, with regular Bowen Therapy and cold laser treatments, heโs not only pain-free but also more agile than ever!
Before starting therapy, Obi struggled to jumpโsomething so natural for cats. These days heโs mastered it, showing off his expert jumping skills with confidence!
Whether itโs for mobility, recovery, or simply improving their quality of life, treatments like these can make a world of difference for your feline friends. Because cats deserve to feel their best too! ๐๐
Have a cat who could use some extra care? Letโs chat!

This little cutie is Zeus, a Dachshund dynamo who has been working hard to bounce back from a pesky soft tissue injury in his hip flexor/adductor area. ๐๐
It was causing him quite a bit of pain & discomfort, but thanks to Bowen therapy initially, followed up by weekly cold laser treatments to speed up the healing process plus his amazing owners keeping up with physio exercises at home, Zeus is now steadier and more balanced on his hindquarters. ๐
But letโs be honest: Zeus doesnโt just love his treatments for the healing benefits; heโs in it for the peanut butter and treats too! ๐ฅ
During the infrared portion of his sessions, Zeus enjoys a VIP experience with one of our lickimats smothered in his favourite treat. (See video)
Itโs safe to say the way to this little guyโs heart is through his stomach. ๐ฅ
Weโre thrilled with his progress and love seeing him strut his stuff with more ease and confidence.
Zeus, youโre a superstar ! ๐
Keep up the great work, buddy! ๐ช ๐
Puppy Play, Cute, Clunsy and a little rough! ๐พ
Puppy Play: Cute, Clumsy, and Sometimes a Little Rough! ๐พ
Letโs be honestโpuppies are the perfect mix of super cute and wildly clumsy. If theyโre not tumbling over their own paws, theyโre full on rough and tumble wrestling like their lives depend on it with their siblings. ๐ฅ ๐
Breeders know this well.
Those adorable wrestling matches with siblings are all fun and games until one of them gets hurt.
Thatโs where Bowen therapy comes to the rescue! A full-body soft tissue session to help straighten out those ouchies and kinks they picked up while trying to grow into their paws; either before or after they head off to their new homes, is a great idea! ๐๐ผ
Arthur and Auraโs breeder was totally on it! She brought these two Cavalier cuties in for a full-body tune-up. Older brother Archer, whoโs already a regular came along to show them how itโs done like a seasoned pro. ๐ช
So, if your puppyโs zoomies are more of a โtrip, roll, crash,โ maybe itโs time for a Bowen session to balance things out.
Trust me, their little legs will thank you! ๐
Puppy play
Meet Yuri, an adorable 9-month-old German Shorthaired Pointer puppy whoโs been growing fast and running even faster! ๐พ When he first came to us, he had developed an overbite as a young pup, and we were hopeful that certain Bowen and Emmett moves could help guide his jaw to grow out more evenly. Using some special techniques and other tips for at home Iโm thrilled to say that his bite has improved significantly! ๐โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ But, being the adventurous pup he is, Yuriโs latest antics led to a little neck injury. So, heโs been back for some extra Bowen and cold laser treatments to help him heal up and get back to his speedy, fun self. ๐ชโจ
From the playful pups, shy pups, and exuberant pups, to the wise old souls, every dog loves their Bowen therapy time. ๐พ
Itโs all about the gentle touch and those calm, healing vibes. โค๏ธโ๐ฉน
