INTEGRATIVE MANUAL THERAPY · DOGS, CATS & HORSES
Animal Osteopathy, Physiotherapy & Chiropractic Techniques
A structured hands-on approach combining three manual disciplines within one individually adapted session.
THERAPEUTIC WORK SINCE 2013 · QUALIFIED THROUGH ATM IN GERMANY · CONSULTATIONS AT YOUR HOME OR STABLE
WHAT MANUAL THERAPY ADDRESSES
A precise response to how the body functions.
Movement depends on the coordinated function of joints, muscles, fascia and the nervous system. Restrictions in one area can influence posture, compensation and movement elsewhere in the body.
✓ Stiffness, restricted movement or reduced flexibility
✓ Altered gait, posture or weight distribution
✓ Muscular tension, asymmetry or compensatory patterns
✓ Reduced coordination, stability or body awareness
✓ Rehabilitation following injury, surgery or illness
✓ Age-related or progressive changes in mobility
✓ Support for sporting performance, movement quality and recovery
✓ Preventive assessment and early identification of functional restrictions
THREE MANUAL DISCIPLINES
Selected individually. Applied as one coherent treatment.
The session does not follow a fixed sequence. Nicole selects and combines techniques according to the functional assessment, the animal’s responses and individual needs.
Osteopathic Techniques
✓ Parietal techniques
✓ Myofascial techniques
✓ Craniosacral techniques
✓ Visceral techniques
Physiotherapeutic Techniques
✓ Active and passive mobilisation
✓ Muscle activation and release
✓ Neuromuscular re-education
✓ Proprioceptive work
Chiropractic Techniques
✓ Specific, controlled joint adjustments
✓ Spinal and peripheral joint mobility
✓ Neuromuscular coordination and proprioception
✓ Integration into posture overall movement
THE FUNCTIONAL PERSPECTIVE
The body works as an interconnected system.
Manual assessment considers how structures, tissues and regulatory systems influence movement and function throughout the body.
Structure and mobility
The spine, joints and their functional ranges of movement provide the structural basis for efficient motion.
Muscles and connective tissue
Muscles, tendons, ligaments and fascia influence stability, elasticity and the transmission of force.
Coordination and regulation
The nervous system, proprioception and sensory responses coordinate posture, balance and movement control.
Internal functional relationships
Visceral mobility, circulatory and lymphatic dynamics can influence tissue tension, comfort and overall function.
YOUR ANIMAL’S SESSION
From observation to individually adapted treatment.
Each session follows a clear process while remaining responsive to the animal’s individual presentation and reactions.
01
History and observation
Movement, posture, behaviour and general presentation are observed from the first contact.
02
Functional assessment
Joint mobility, spinal movement, tissue response and coordination are assessed.
03
Pattern identification
Restrictions, tension and compensation patterns are considered together.
04
Manual treatment
Techniques are selected and adapted throughout the session.
05
Therapeutic Plan and Follow-Up
Practical guidance and any recommended follow-up are discussed according to the animal’s needs.
INDIVIDUAL APPLICATION
One method, adapted to different animals.
The techniques, pace and therapeutic focus are adapted to the animal’s anatomy, movement and individual presentation.
YOUR CONSULTATION
Individual manual care at your home or stable.
