As a result characteristic postures, movement and behaviour develop and the brain forgets what normal or neutral feels like.

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 is because HS works with a part of the brain that helps muscles relax naturally. 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. HS also helps build trust, bonding, and a stronger connection between the human and the animal.
