HS is a very gentle technique that enables the animal’s nervous system to relearn its natural range of motion and regain the feeling of muscles in a more relaxed “neutral” state. This results in improved muscle function, better posture, easier movement and enhanced well-being as pain and discomfort caused by tight (chronically contracted) muscles is relieved.
