Animal Physiotherapy

I was recently contacted by Brooke Marsh, who is an Animal Physiotherapist based on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland, Australia. The term Animal Physiotherapy was new to me (a bit of research revealed that it’s called Veterinary Rehabilitation, Animal Rehabilitation, or Animal Physical Therapy here in the US) and I asked Brooke if she would be [...]

Complementary Animal Health Practitioners - USA

At long last, here is the beginning of the first list of practitioners. I assume that we eventually will need to split them up into more narrow geographical areas, and perhaps by modality as well, but for now, I am doing them by country.

I decided to call it Alternative Animal Health, but it really could [...]

Carla has been a professional Shaman for over 10 years and teaches shamanic healing and animal communication workshops all over the country.

Equine Craniosacral

Today’s post is about craniosacral work, a therapy that I have been curious about for a long time now, and just recently tried for myself. I grind my teeth in my sleep (pretty badly, I have cracked several) and wanted to see if craniosacral therapy could help. At the time I’m writing this, I have [...]

Healing Touch For Animals

Today’s featured therapy is Healing Touch for Animals, an energy healing modality which at first (and second) glance seems very similar to Reiki, but there are some differences between the two, as you will see further down in the post.

What is Healing Touch for Animals®?

Healing Touch for Animals, or HTA, was created by Carol Komitor [...]

New Additions To School Lists

I have added quite a few more schools, workshops and classes to the animal massage school lists. This is a short synopsis of the additions – more information is on the list for each country.

I have also updated the visiting classes and workshops for 2011 on each list, however, not all practitioners have finalized their [...]

Crystal Healing For Animals

This is another therapy that I knew nothing about before starting to investigate it. I have used crystals for Feng Shui purposes in my home (as directed by a practitioner), but other than that, I just thought they were pretty. But it turns out they’re powerful too.

Canine Hydrotherapy

Today’s featured alternative health modality is canine hydrotherapy (a.k.a. canine water therapy). Different forms of hydrotherapy for humans have been around for thousands of years – ancient Egyptians, Greeks and Romans all used it to improve their health, spirits and general well-being.

Equine hydrotherapy, in particular using cold sea water on leg injuries, has been practiced [...]

Alternative Healing Modality: Deep Tissue and Swedish Massage

I think most people know what massage is at this point. Many have experienced it for themselves and know firsthand the wonderful effects it can have on your health and general well-being.

I have often found, however, that there is a huge misconception about massage for animals. Many think that is is just an unnecessary spa [...]

Alternative Healing Modality: Acupressure

Today’s post is about Acupressure. We had a number of classes in it when I was at Bancroft, but I have to confess that at the time, I was so focused on learning massage that I found it a bit overwhelming to look at health from a TCM perspective, which is pretty different from the [...]

Alternative Healing Modality: Bach Flower Remedies

Todays spotlight is on the Bach Flower Remedies, a set of 38 essences that can help with all sorts of emotional issues in both people and animals.

We have been using Rescue Remedy, a 5-flower “emergency” essence blend, for years now and it really does work. We use it for ourselves in times of stress, our [...]
