Ted McLaughlin is a Complementary Animal Health Practitioner who specialises in providing natural solutions for a variety of musculoskeletal problems in animals. The primary treatment therapy used is Animal Chiropractic, followed by Bio-Energy Healing Therapy and Ki Massage where appropriate.
ANIMAL CHIROPRACTIC
Animal
Chiropractic aligns and balances the animal's musculoskeletal system. By
manipulating any misaligned joints throughout the whole body, with special attention
to the spine and pelvis, helps both to restore and maintain health, soundness
and performance.
Much of disharmony within the animal's body is an attempt to correct to correct an imbalance through the medium of the physical form. The animal's body energy has to be normalised or balanced before the disharmony or symptoms can be corrected.
Animal Chiropractic is a relatively gentle technique which does not cause pain or discomfort. In fact most animals being treated soon relax and enjoy the experience. It works holistically to eliminate the cause, not just to treat the symptoms. In giving the treatment, a practitioner will only ever use their hands - No other tools or machines are used.
BIO-ENERGY HEALING THERAPY
For
centuries, both the Chinese and Indian cultures have worked with the healing
potential of the life force energy (Chi or Prana). Bio-Energy Healing
works with this natural life force energy that exists within our universe. Life
force energy is the basic energy that is keeping us all alive, grows the grass
in the fields and the hair on our heads and keeps the planets and tides in harmony.
As human beings we interact with this energy through the chakra system which is a system of energy intake and refinement. The Bio- Energy practitioner is merely the conduit for the energy and works with the animal's energy field. As in Animal Chiropractic, the hands are the practitioner's "tools of trade" which are used to scan the animal's body and "sense" where any blockages exist.
Bio-Energy Healing Therapy involves the balancing of the energy flow both inside and outside the animal's body, clearing the blockages or replenishing areas of perceived depletion in the energy field. In essence the practitioner is working with the animal's inherent recuperative powers to relieve pain and heal itself.
KI MASSAGE
Every
move your horse makes produces its greatest stress at one specific point. The
physiological response of muscle to trauma of any type (overuse, overstretch,
overload, a blow) is first tightening. Tightening is followed by the development
of a spasm at the exact spot where the trauma occurred.
Ki Massage is based on energy being transmitted through the sense of touch for the purpose of alleviating muscle spasm and tension. The practitioner locates the areas of muscle spasm and applies Ki Massage therapy to break up the spasm and release the muscle tightening.
