Whole Energy Bodywork (WEBB)
FAQs

Why might your dog need a WEBB session?

Your dog could benefit from a WEBB session for several reasons:

​

Pain Relief

 

Dogs are experts at hiding pain, which might result from physical, mental, or emotional trauma. WEBB helps uncover and relieve chronic or hidden pain, particularly in areas like the neck and back.

​

Anxiety and Trauma

 

This method effectively alleviates anxiety and trauma by promoting a deep relaxation response, helping pets feel calmer and more at ease.

​

Behavioural Improvement

​

Pain and unresolved trauma often contribute to undesirable behaviours. By addressing these underlying issues, WEBB can improve your dog's behaviour, making them more comfortable and playful.

​

Strengthening the Bond

 

Through gentle techniques, WEBB fosters trust and connection, deepening your relationship with your pet. The practitioner can also teach you simple yet effective techniques to use at home.

​

Overall, a WEBB session offers holistic benefits, addressing both physical and emotional needs to enhance your dog’s overall well-being.

​

How does WEBB address hidden pain in pets?

WEBB uses a combination of somatic bodywork, neuro-fascial techniques, and energy healing to address hidden pain. Animals, including dogs, often conceal pain as a survival instinct, only showing symptoms when it becomes severe.

​

Practitioners start with an assessment to identify areas of tension, pain, or blockages using touch and observation. Techniques such as fascial release relax muscles and alleviate tension in soft tissues, reducing pain and discomfort. By engaging the parasympathetic nervous system, the process promotes relaxation, activates self-healing mechanisms, and helps pets process and recover from pain more effectively.

​

What makes WEBB effective for pets with past trauma?

WEBB is highly effective for pets with past trauma due to several reasons:

​

Deep Relaxation

 

The technique induces a state of calmness, helping retrain the pet’s nervous system to move from chronic arousal to a sense of safety and relaxation.

 

Physical and Emotional Healing

 

By addressing both physical tension and emotional distress, it alleviates discomfort and facilitates recovery from trauma.

 

Trust Building

 

Gentle, responsive hands-on techniques foster trust and connection, which are essential for traumatised animals to feel secure.

 

Customisable Approach

 

The method adapts to your pet’s needs, ensuring treatments are effective and comfortable.

​

Can WEBB help pets with chronic conditions?

Yes, WEBB is effective for managing chronic conditions by:

​

• Promoting relaxation to reduce stress and support healing.

• Addressing persistent pain and tension, improving comfort and mobility.

• Enhancing emotional well-being, helping pets cope with long-term conditions.

​

​

How does WEBB specifically help with anxiety in pets?

WEBB helps manage anxiety in pets through:

​

Nervous System Regulation

 

Activating the parasympathetic nervous system reduces hyper-arousal, promoting a state of rest and relaxation.

​

Emotional Wellbeing

​

The method incorporates safe, consistent boundaries and kindness, encouraging emotional self-regulation and fostering trust.

​

Somatic Awareness

 

Techniques increase bodily awareness, helping pets better understand and manage their emotions.

​

Tension Release

 

Anxiety often manifests as physical tension, which WEBB Bodywork effectively alleviates, leading to greater emotional balance.

​

This holistic approach ensures pets feel calmer, more secure, and better equipped to handle stress.
