Osteo-Tam Pet Services
Deepening Bonds * Healing Together
Every animal, like every human, is genetically prone to having certain physical challenges. That being said, if your pet is in great health, and body-mind-soul balance, whatever your pet is predisposed to having will not present itself. However, when your pet is out of balance, your pet will begin to show signs. For example, a labrador retriever is predisposed to arthritis, cysts, and allergies. A chihuahua is predisposed to patella luxations. However, if your pet is in perfect shape, living its best life, these problems won’t show themselves. At Osteo-Tam we recommend receiving a full preventative session each year as a prevention to to restore, rejuvenate, and rebalance your pet, large or small, and keep it in its best shape by offering various tried-and-true scientifically proven techniques, bodywork, holistic care counsels, emotional therapies, and fun activities.
Bodywork
What is French Osteopathy?
Osteopaths believe in the interconnectedness of the body’s structure and function and how it can affect a person’s overall health. The body has the capacity to heal and maintain good health so they aim to provide natural remedies to facilitate this healing process. Osteopathy emphasizes treating the whole person, taking into consideration physical, emotional, and environmental factors that may affect health.
At Osteo-Tam Holistic Services, for 20+ years we have been providing osteopath services to people and animals. We specialize in combining animal therapeutic massage, acupressure, craniosacral therapy, cold laser therapy, sound therapy, color therapy, aromatherapy, ERT and Reiki, for all of our animal clients. Our goal is to get to the root of the problem and to restore your pet to optimal health. Like people, animals have acupuncture meridian systems in their bodies that are connected to the Lung, Pericardium, Heart, Large Intestine, San Jiao (Triple Heater), Small Intestine, Bladder, Gallbladder, Stomach, Spleen, Kidney, and Liver. When a meridian is stressed there can be stress points, vertebral dislocations and subluxations, inflammation, hot and cold trigger points throughout the body. These stresses can come from outside influences, like a fall, chemicals, or a virus, or they can build-up internally. For whatever reason these stresses might have occurred, like people, it is an important part of the healing process to release these points and rebalance the meridians, restoring your pets body to optimal condition. After a session, many people remark how their pet became like it was as a puppy or kitten and wanted to play again. All of the services listed above are included as needed with every session to promote healing. We recommend every animal have a session once a year as a prevention.
Many clients come to us with animals that have challenges with torn ACLs, back pain, knee dislocations, sprains, hip dislocations, recovering from operations, rehabilitation, and physical therapy, etc. And then others come to us to receive a natural approach to chronic illnesses including stomach ulcers, digestive issues, coughing, head colds, arthritis, allergies, cancer, as a preventative to surgery, as well as, end-of-life care.
Our goal is to do the best to help your pet. We take the time in each session to get to know your pet an do a thorough history. When it is possible, we also teach you basic natural techniques you can do to help alleviate pain, help your pet heal faster and to keep your pet in its best shape and in top condition. Osteo-Tam also holds in-person and online courses to give you the skills to help your pet. Other massage techniques and applications are much more specialized and require additional training, which we also offer.
Discount Maintenance Packages are available for senior pets or pets recovering from injury/operations. This will be discussed at your first visit.
“When performed as part of a comprehensive treatment package, massage therapy may minimize injuries and enhance the patient’s recovery speed.”
Massage combined with Acupressure, Craniosacral Therapy, and Reiki not only relieves pain, stimulates organ function, but encourages a speedy recovery. The combination of the three also helps alleviate stress and can be instrumental in changing behavioral problems.
A Holistic Care Counsel is included with every initial visit and/or video session and may include a combination of natural therapies to help your pet’s body heal faster, like: homeopathy, phytotherapy, essential oils, nutrition, micronutrition, flower essences, etc.
Did you know that the food your pet eats may be causing some of its stress and behavioral problems? We will talk about the latest research with you and help you find the best, easy options according to your needs and budget.
Mind
Why Emotional Release Therapy?
Animals are emotional and will show you how they feel by their behavior. If they are in pain, they will stop playing, jumping, and may have difficulty walking. They can hide or become aggressive when touched…
They may act out when they are hurt or be unable to process changes and stresses in their home. When this happens, they may chew up your favorite sweater or use your bed as a toilet, or generally become destructive.
An animal suffering from anxieties may act out by barking incessantly or may be afraid of being touched or of the opposite sex or of traveling in the car. They may act out because of separation anxiety, or from being afraid of loud noises and storms.
Stresses create an emotional response in the body, after a period of time of feeling this emotion, your pet’s body will create blockages resulting in pain, injury or chronic illness.
With every animal session, whether the animal is large or small, there is a point where your animal releases emotions. These releases are one of the most important parts of the healing process. Our team is trained in coaching you and your animals through this process to help your pet heal faster. This is invaluable for dogs that have had additional stresses in their lives like loss of a loved one, or a change of home. Animals that have suffered from chronic illnesses or a recent operation, or have anxiety and are stressed. Healing your animal’s emotional state is imperative to the healing process.
Animals are born with the instincts to communicate by sharing their emotions, their visions and with a general ‘knowing.’ When your animal releases pain or blockages in their body, these releases are felt by the practitioner and opens the possibility to communicate with your pet. During this telepathic exchange, you and your pet can repair past hurts, you may understand why he has been acting out, and you can learn how to communicate with your pet yourself to change unwanted behavioral challenges.
