McTimoney treatment can help relieve an animal’s discomfort, pain and restore movement, caused by joint misalignments, after they’ve injured themselves or from problems caused by conformation, dental, feet or condition issues. Animals are subject to various strains and stresses to their musculoskelatal system during daily activities. Slipping, playing and turning tightly, repetitive movements, ill-fitting equipment etc. can all lead to misalignments. These misalignments, if not corrected can cause discomfort and reduced performance.
