A Gentle Approach to Animal Wellness: The Power of Healing Touch

Whether it's a belly rub, a scratch behind the ears, or a gentle ruffle of the fur, the sensation of touch is a big part of how we communicate with animals. Healing Touch can also be a path to holistic well-being for your pet. At South San Diego Veterinary Hospital, we have seen the power of touch make all the difference for animals struggling to heal from wounds and burns. It can aid in postsurgical healing and relieve many other disorders and discomforts. Schedule a session today at our hospital in San Diego, CA.

Understanding What Healing Touch Is in Pet Wellness

Healing Touch for Pets uses hands-on and energy-based techniques to balance and align the energy field. Body, mind, emotion, and spirit are touched through this therapeutic process, and each individual is empowered to participate fully in his or her healing journey.

Whether for animals or humans, all healing is basically self-healing. A veterinarian can set two bone fragments in place, but the body finally heals the split; the veterinarian simply directs and facilitates the process. Healing Touch is a different mode of facilitating the healing process. Still, it functions from an energy perspective rather than only a physical one. We often recommend it as a complementary treatment to enhance other healing methods.
