I consider myself to be extremely fortunate to have a vocation that I enjoy, and it never ceases to amaze me the difference a treatment can make to an animal. Not only do I treat Horses and Dogs, but I also treat Cattle. McTimoney-Corley Spinal Therapy treatment is a gentle and effective way of helping to restore joint mobility and release muscle tension. Palpation skills are used in order to isolate areas of nerve/joint restriction along the spinal column and other joints of the body. Specific adjustments are then applied with my hands using controlled, short, sharp thrusts to help restore movement to the joint, relieve pressure exerted on the nerves and alleviate pain. This in turn allows the body to restore its own natural balance and harmony.
