Equine Bowen Therapy, Bowen Therapy for horses

Equine Bowen Therapy (EBT), uses the same principles as Tom Bowen’s therapy and is a gentle, very effective, hands on technique. Bowen acts as a catalyst and triggers the body to heal itself wherever it is required. As well as stimulating healing, it produces deep relaxation, pain relief and helps to normalise all the body’s systems (circulatory, lymphatic, respiratory, digestive, muscular etc).

By using fingers and thumbs on precise points on the body, a rolling action is applied targeting muscles, ligaments and tendons. This action disturbs the delicate fascia underneath the skin and vibrations and messages are sent to neighbouring structures and to the brain via the central nervous system.

In the course of the treatment, moves are interspersed with periods of rest. This is essential for the brain to process the information and to allow the body to adjust itself and begin the process of healing.
