Equine Bowen Therapy is not intended as a substitute for veterinary advice or treatment. If in doubt please consult your veterinary surgeon.
What does the Equine Bowen treatment involve?
A consultation will normally last around an hour, although the hands-on treatment itself will normally take around 45 minutes. During which time I will be looking at the horse’s static and dynamic conformation. Before the treatment begins I will require you to gain veterinary permission, and I will ask you a series of questions about the horse to help build a clear picture. This information will then help monitor changes that have taken place between treatments and how the horse is progressing.
In addition to helping horses the Bowen Technique often treats the horse and rider as a whole.
