Tellington Touch is a hands-on (or slightly off-body in unusually sensitive cases) method of body work based on a circular movement of the hands and fingers, shown in biofeedback research to awaken cellular intelligence and establish new neural pathways to the brain. Tellington Touch originated as an alternative treatment for animals, and has grown to include people as well.

The relationship Tellington Touch teaches is one of cooperation and respect for All Life, while assisting animals in their healing process. Through sensitivity, communication, and connecting with the animal we can assist them in physiological, and emotional change, as well as daily training and growth. This training is based on cooperation, respect and a positive approach in ones relationship with the animal.

TTOUCH has been shown to release tension, trauma, and negative memory patterns held in body tissues and the cellular structure, influencing them to be restored to their original memory. This technique additionally includes joint range of motion manipulations, which stimulate the building of new neural pathways to the brain. These are used in combination with ground work exercises through obstacles and patterns, which stimulate mental focus, retraining, and coordination. These techniques work with behavior modification for aggression, timidness, and other aberrational behaviors. It can reduce stress, release pain, and improve our overall communication and rapport with animals.

TTOUCH has shown to be effective in:

Improving athletic performance and endurance. Presenting solutions to common behavioral and physical problems. Establishing a deeper rapport between humans and animals through increased understanding and more effective communication. Helping to release tension and increase body awareness. Increasing the animal’s ability to learn. Increasing the range of motion in joints for stiff areas, or athletic animals. Building confidence and reducing fear. Assisting recovery from illness or injury.

TTOUCH can also help in cases of:

• Aggressive behavior.
• Extreme fear and shyness.
• Excitability and nervousness.
• Problems associated with aging.

"Just wanted to say how much Shadow and I enjoyed our time with you today. It is abundantly clear how much you respect animals and have a talent for healing them. And it is no coincidence that several of us here today, who were feeling the loss of our holistic vet, magically stumbled across you. For the first time in awhile, Shadow was playfully nudging me her ball as I went about de-icing the driveway this evening." MA
