Equine Bowen Therapy
For course information:
Equine Muscle Release Therapy (EMRT)
Equine Muscle Release Therapy (EMRT) was devised by Alison Goward
Principal of the Equus College of Learning & Research (ECL&R),
developer of EMRT and CCmrt, Dip.SM.RM., Senior Lecturer QSMI
QINS BTAA in 1990 in line with the Principals of Bowtech.
EMRT has been derived from The original Bowen Technique and
is the only Bowen on horses recognised and endorsed by the Bowen
Therapy Academy of Australia (BTAA). Alison developed EMRT from
an understanding that horses, like people are subjected to stress
and strain from performing athletic tasks asked of them by their
owners. If these stresses and strains continue without relief,
then imbalance/breakdown will occur somewhere in the body.
An EMRT session consists of gentle, rolling, sequential moves
made with the practitioner’s fingers, thumbs and hands
over specific points of the muscle fascia. There are important
waits after each set moves which allow the horses body time
to relax and change.
EMRT is non-invasive and non-manipulative and addresses every
system in the horse’s body, helping bring about a state
of balance, thereby allowing the body to reprogram areas in
trauma to their natural state of being.
All horses, no matter what breed, how big or small, benefit
from EMRT. EMRT has been used successfully to treat arthritis
in retired horses and ponies, systemic imbalances such as laminitis
in Shetlands and bigger breeds, and helped enhance performance
in top sport horses, race horses and endurance horses.
EMRT works in conjunction with your vet and does not replace
veterinary treatment.
EMRT has been known to help:
- unexplained deterioration in performance
- unexplained resistance
- irritability
- uneven muscle development and/or muscle wastage
- uneven shoe wear and/or dragging of hind feet
- stiffness on one rein
- intermittent and/or unresolved lameness
- disunited paces
- sore or cold back
- filled legs
- lymphatic or lactic acid imbalance
EMRT can also be used in the prevention of problems or just
as a treat for your horse.

Cat & Canine Muscle Release Therapy (CCmrt)
Alison Goward developed and based Cat & Canine Muscle Release
Therapy (CCmrt) purely on the work of Equine Muscle Release
Therapy (EMRT).
Usually in every stable you will find a dog and/or a cat. Due
to extensive and successful field trails carried out over 7
years by Alison and EMRT practitioners on dogs and cats and
due to the increasing number of enquiries made to the Equus
College of Learning & Research for dogs and cats CCmrt was
born and started being taught in 2001.
Like EMRT it is taught and practised in accordance with principals
as set out by the BTAA and is the only dog and cat Bowen recognised
and endorsed by the BTAA.
CCmrt is similar to EMRT in the fact that it is non-invasive
and non-manipulative and addresses every system in the dog/cat’s
body, helping bring about a state of balance, thereby allowing
the body to reprogram areas in trauma to their natural state
of being.
The CCmrt session consists of gentle, rolling, sequential moves
made with the practitioner’s fingers, thumbs and hands
over specific points of the muscle fascia. There are important
waits after each set moves which allow the horses body time
to relax and change.
All cats and dogs, no matter what breed, size or discipline
benefit from CCmrt. CCmrt has been successfully used to treat
elderly arthritic dogs and cats, dog and cats with systemic
and breed specific imbalances, top showing dogs and cats to
dogs working with the police and those involved in obedience
and agility.
CCmrt works in conjunction with your vet and does not replace
veterinary treatment.
CCmrt has been known to help:
- unexplained deterioration or resistance in performance during
agility or showing
- irritability, laziness, lethargy, dull coat
- uneven muscle development and/or muscle wastage
- uneven hips or stifles
- raised back
- intermittent or unresolved lameness
- disunited paces – stiffness, no strength in movement
- sensitivity to touch i.e. dipping back or shivering when touched
- filled legs or lactic acid imbalance
CCmrt can also be used in the prevention of problems or just
as a treat for your dog or cat.
