NST is a subtle and relaxing treatment. Soft tissue manipulation over precise points involving fascia, muscles, tendons, ligaments at specific points throughout the whole body. The aim is rebalance the entire body, to initiate self healing, freeing the whole body from impingements right down to cellular level, to remove toxins thus allowing the body to absorb nutrients; so that the cells, tissue
s, organs and structures can function more efficiently. In turn supporting the body to fight injury and disease, whilst helping to maintain a well-balanced, muscular skeletal structure and nervous system, that is also free from neurological tensions. The equilibrium between horse and rider is equally important and therefore, the corrections to the horse will only be sustainable if the rider is also thoroughly balanced and relaxed. All NST/ Bowen Equine practitioners must also train and qualify as human practitioners in order to provide therapy for both horse and rider. Short rest periods allow initiation of subtle changes, rebalancing, relieving tension, reducing pain to recreating 'Equilibrium'. Significant changes can be seen in just 1-2 sessions, long term injuries/problems may need further treatments. NST Bowen is not a substitute for veterinary treatment.
