Equine Bowen Therapy
A treatment for horses that involves a soft tissue remedial technique involving ‘light-touch’ moves of fingers or thumbs over muscle, ligament, tendon and/or fascia at specific points of the animal's body.
The treatment is both gentle and subtle, with no hard or prolonged pressure. It offers the animal a non-invasive and effective hands-on technique that aims to promote healing, pain-relief and body/energy rebalancing.
Equine Bowen Aims to help the horse by communicating with the nervous system to achieve neuromuscular re-patterning.

Cold or sore back
Disunited gait, irregular action, falling in on left or right rein.
Muscle atrophy or uneven muscle development.
Stiffness and inability to bend.
Resistance to working correctly ‘through’ from behind
Sluggish lymphatic system or weakened immune system.
Uncharacteristic change of temperament or deterioration of performance.

Assists Movement Restrictions & Muscle Soreness
It benefits horses of all ages, breeds and disciplines.
Horses have an amazing ability to create compensation patterns to work around restrictions or problems in there bodies - Often creating assymetries in the body. This creates uneveness or difficulties in their training as physically they cannot do what we are requesting, especially under saddle.
Bowen restores the bodies balance by triggering it to undergo cellular repair via the fascial release and rehydration. This also helps create new neuromuscular patterns. - often encouraging a more symmetrical body and ease of movement.

Assists with many issues
Acute injuries (eg. sprains and strains)
Chronic conditions especially influenced via the lymphatic drainage that bowen therapy enables
Anxiety and stress
Also great for post operative relaxation recovery due to its gentle effects that encourage blood flow and lymphatic flow throughout the fascia right down to the viscera (internal organs)
Rebalances and helps the horse with muscular restrictions.
Creates an overall improved energy by balancing the horse
