How can canine osteopathy help your dog?

Is your dog showing worrying symptoms? Limping, mood or behavioural changes, sudden exhaustion, bowel issues... I'm Manon, and I'm an animal osteopath. I'm here to help your four-legged friend feel on top form by using a holistic approach.

Learn more about what an animal osteopath can do. When should you see a canine osteopath?

There's a preconceived idea that only ageing dogs should see a canine osteopath. But the truth is there are numerous reasons why a visit to an animal osteopath could help your pet. Here are some red flags that could mean your dog needs help:

Moving around. There are several reasons why a dog may have problems moving around. Canine osteoarthritis is one issue that affects movement. Canine osteopathy can soothe the pain and improve mobility.

Behaviour. Sudden, unexpected changes in behaviour could mean that your dog is in pain. As well as helping with pain, osteopathy can also reduce any stress your animal is feeling.

Digestive problems. Osteopathy involves specific manual movements that can improve different digestive issues: vomiting, diarrhoea, constipation...

Growth. This relates more to puppies that present stunted growth. The osteopath will realign problem joints while also relieving tension that can prevent normal growth.

Skin problems. Animal osteopathy is useful for pets that over-groom or suffer from allergies, excessive moulting and skin problems.

Canine osteopathy also plays a preventive role. For example, it can help delay the onset of osteoarthritis. It's also used for canine rehabilitation, for example after surgery. In other words, animal osteopathy can help with a wide range of health issues. Its holistic approach makes it a versatile course of treatment.

I practice in the Caribbean on tours, mainly in the islands of Saint-Barthélémy and Sint-Maarten. I generally organize 4 to 5 rounds in the year or more depending on the needs of the animals.

Your Osteopath

Manon Turbé

From my young age, I've been passionate about animals, today I have 13 in my care, dogs, cats, horses, birds and rabbits, and it's not over... I try as much as possible to help abused, abandoned or familyless animals.

So I looked for a way to best help them in gentleness, understanding and listening. It was then that I found animal osteopathy, a very beneficial method of care without having the medicalized side (vaccines, bites, surgeries, euthanasia).

Since my graduation from the ESAO in 2020, I have been pleased to offer my services to the ATE (Territorial Environment Agency) of Saint Barthélémy in order to help injured wildlife so that it can return to its natural state. I had the chance to actively participate in the fitness of several iguanas and birds of different species, which were released to return to their previous lives.
