Tom Bowen (1916 - 1982) Miracle Worker Tom Bowen worked with Ossie Rentsch 1974 - 1982 who with Tom's blessing brought it to the world under the BTAA (Bowen Therapy Academy of Australia) Ossie taught human Bowen to Ali Goward (principal director of the Equus college of learning and research which is endorsed as the official animal arm of the Bowen therapy academy of Australia) Ali Goward developed the technique for horses in 1990 and for small animals in 1997.

So What Exactly Is Equine Muscle Release Therapy™?
 

EMRT™ is a very dynamic technique, which signals the brain to initiate the healing process. These signals are sent via specialised nerve cells found in the fascia or covering of the muscle. By applying the moves over the muscles in specific areas in a sequence, the body receives the message to take the spasm out of that muscle. This gives the body a chance to achieve balance that promotes well-being of the whole horse. EMRT is not a replacement for Veterinary advice. It consists of gentle rolling, sequential moves over specific points of the muscular fascia. Energy flows are stimulated & balanced, encouraging the body to reset & heal itself, producing rapid & lasting relief from pain & discomfort.

Non-invasive & non-manipulative, EMRT helps bring about a positive response to muscular, respiratory, organic & glandular conditions. It is an ideal way to help the body function at an optimal level of health & efficiency & can be used as preventative in the same way that sports massage is used by athletes.

Equine Muscle Release Therapy can be used in conjunction with & complements other healing modalities, such as herbal medicine, as it activates the body's powerful natural self-healing ability.
