About Canine Bowen Technique (CBT)
Canine Bowen Technique (CBT) is an extremely gentle therapy which promotes health and balance in dogs. All breeds, ages, shapes and sizes may benefit from the healing effects of CBT.
It is a 'light-touch' holistic remedial therapy founded on the principles of a successful human modality – the Bowen Technique.
The Bowen Technique was developed by Tom Bowen in Australia in the 1950s, and established in the UK in the 1990s.
Its adaptation in this country for use on dogs was started in 2001 by Bowen therapists Sally and Ron Askew.
In 2003, the European Guild of Canine Bowen Therapists (EGCBT) was established to provide a professional holistic program of training for Canine Bowen.
The EGCBT represents a network of properly skilled and experienced CBT therapists. Its diploma course in CBT is the only training in Bowen for dogs recommended by the Bowen Therapy Professional Association (BTPA) and the European College of Bowen Studies (ECBS), the leading school for Bowen training in Europe.
CBT therapists share an interest in the welfare and a love of dogs.
I believe that we have a lot to learn from dogs, and feel privileged to be able to give something back to them.
