Acupressure is non-invasive and gentle, yet it can have a profound effect on humans and animals. It is based on Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) which has been practiced in the East for approximately 3,000 years, that provides a holistic approach to caring for our animals’ health and welfare. While acupuncture uses fine needles on the acupuncture points, and can only be administered by a veterinarian, Acupressure uses gentle contact with the dog using only our hands. TCM is based on a series of theories that form a rich source if techniques for sustaining health and allowing the body to heal itself when not in balance. A balanced animal is a healthy animal, which has led me to choose the name, Well Balanced Animals. All of the modalities I have studied over the past 22 years, and love, mean I can help your animal become more balanced.
Acupressure has been proven to:
Strengthen muscles, tendons, ligaments, joints, and bones
Release natural cortisone to reduce inflammation and swelling
Resolve injuries more readily by increasing blood flow to remove toxins
Release endorphins to increase energy and reduce pain
Enhance mental clarity and calm required for focus in training and performance.
