~Animal Normalization Therapy~

 

ANT is a collection of manual therapies based on osteopathic principals and theory. The underlying premise is that the body, in its natural and uncompromised state, is capable of self healing and maintaining balance. This work is done with hands on the pet, working through the soft connective tissues, fluids and rhythms of the body.

 

ANT combines Functional Indirect Techniques, viscero-vascular reflexes, cranio-sacral therapy, neuro-vascular reflexes and lymphatic reflexes to find and release areas of stagnation.  Stagnation is inflammation, pain and tension.   There are many underlying causes for stagnation such as trauma (hit by car), surgery (joint, organ, skin), and overuse (agility dogs for example).  By using these techniques, ANT assists in restoring natural flow and ease of movement within the pets body.  

 

Over a 3 year span Dr. Tullett completed all 6 courses offered by Patricia Kortekaas, and successfully earned a certification for ANT practitioner in 2016.
