What can McTimoney Therapy help with?

 

McTimoney Therapy can help dogs after they have suffered trauma due to an accident such as a collision or fall. However, some dogs due to breed or conformation, particularly short legged and long backed breeds may be more susceptible to problems and can benefit from regular treatments.

 

Dogs with orthopaedic problems such as osteoarthritis or hip and elbow dysplasia can also benefit from treatment, while McTimoney therapy is not a cure it can help with compensatory issues that may arise due to the dog’s altered posture and movement.

 

Also active dogs such as working dogs and those participating in agility, flyball, obedience, racing or showing can also be more at risk of picking up injuries due to the nature of their activity. For example: agility dogs may collide with obstacles and racing dogs running in one direction only can place uneven stress on the body.

 

Even pet dogs can develop problems from their daily activities such as pulling on the lead or rough and tumble games.
