How Does Pet Acupressure Work?

Did you ever hear about pet acupressure and
veterinary acupuncture? These are getting quite
popular for the supportive treatment of our pets
and animals!

The Chinese have been applying acupressure to
their animals for thousands of years very
successfully: they would treat horses and birds
of prey, such as falcons used for hunting.

Qi is defined as the ultimate energy of life,
that flows through all parts of the body,
nourishing them and helping to enhance organ
functioning.

Qi is travelling in channels, the meridians,
which are actually thought lines that travel
mostly over the entire body. In certain
anatomically defined areas these meridians reach
the surface of the body and these are called
acu-points.

Acu-points are classified by letters and
numbers according to the specific location and
meridian they occur on. Through stimulation at
these points, it does not matter, if through
pressure or insertion of needles, the brain and
nervous system will release endorphines and
induce immune processes to help modulate pain.

Pet acupressure is a form of treatment you can
learn fairly quickly and because of its
non-invasive nature, it is safe to use on pets
as well.

Acu-points and meridians are the same as in
acupuncture, but the point stimulation
techniques are very different: you use only your
fingers, hands and controlled pressure released
in various techniques.

Organs or anatomic structures that are close to
the body surface won't be accidentally injured,
as this can happen when practising acupuncture
with needles.

The effects on animals that respond well to
acupressure treatment can be amazing: deep
relaxation, natural pain relief and a new form
of communication between you and your pet are
reported often by pet owners.

Very often it is not only the animal that
starts being relaxed, most pet parents can relax
during a calm session themselves as well!

It is definitely a gentle, but powerful
treatment, which is recommended by some vets to
support healing and recovery from an injury,
accident or surgery.

People who have been using acupressure on their
own pets and animals report how well they start
to understand their pets. If you learn how to do
it and practise you will be able to almost "feel"
the flow of Qi : this in itself can be an
overwhelmingly good feeling. It will bring you
definitely much more closer to your pet than
anything else!

On the other hand, your pet may be able to find
a new channel of communication with you...
Interestingly enough, they seem to come to you
and ask for the next treatment, as many pet
owners have noticed.

If you practise regularly you will also find
that this type of non-verbal communication,
although very subjective but powerful, can help
to detect imbalances and medical conditions in
their early stages.

This again will help very much in the diagnosis
of diseases and ill thrift, so your veterinarian
can help in a much earlier stage of a disease
and often a lot less medical intervention is
needed to resolve it.

So, when will you give it a try and learn how
to do pet acupressure?
