Animals just like us often suffer from back problems. Although concerning, this is not surprising when you consider the numerous animal disciplines that exist today, accompanied with the athletic performance that we expect from them is often far beyond evolutionary expectations. Any sport or athletic pursuit can mean that the musculoskeletal system incurs overstress, people included, however anima
ls are far more able to hide pain due to an innate need to not appear weak to rivals or predators. Therefore when they are suffering from back, neck or pelvic problems the original signs can often be masked or at best subtle, and include symptoms ranging from just not feeling quite right to the more severe symptoms of bucking, rearing and drastic behaviour changes. The benefits of combined McTimoney animal chiropractic techniques and massage treatment include realignment of the body, alleviation of muscle spasm/tension (muscle pain), increased range of motion and flexibility and optimised performance whilst also providing a relaxing experience for your animal.
