Cat & Canine Muscle Release Therapy (CCmrt)
Symptoms that may respond well to CCmrt are:
unexplained deterioration or resistance in performance during agility or showing
irritability, laziness, lethargy, dull coat
uneven muscle development/muscle wastage
uneven hips or stiffness
raised back
intermittent or resolved lameness
disunited paces - stiffness/no strength in movement
sensitivity to touch i.e. dipping back or shivering when touched
CCmrt has been based purely on the work of Equine Muscle Release Therapy from the observations that animals are athletic and are subject to stress and strain. This can create underlying problems which in turn could produce the animal's physical symptoms. CCmrt may help alleviate these by balancing and re-aligning the body's systems. Again this modality is compromised of a series of gentle, rolling moves made in sequence, which unblocks muscle spasms, allowing the energy to circulate through the body, revitalising the entire body, including the internal organs.
Due to extensive and successful field trials carried out over the last 7 years by EMRT practitioners on animals other than horses, and due to increase number of enquires made to the Equus College of learning and Research to learn EMRT for dogs and cats, Cat and Canine Muscle Release Therapy was developed.
Tina Spurling learnt EMRT and Bowen Therapy from Alison Goward and became a Practitioner in both disciplines in 1998. Due to Tina's extensive dog practise and experience she was asked to come on board as a teacher of Ccmrt through the Equus College of Learning and Reasearch.
CCmrt was introduced in Australia in 2002 and Tina is now teaching the technique in Australia, New Zealand, UK and Austria.
