What is Tellington TTouch ?
TTouch is a method used to help
animals through their problem - no matter what the cause. Inappropriate
behaviours diminish, health & condition improve and confidence grows.
Your animal starts to think about their actions. The technique is
based upon bodywork - moving the skin in light circles; groundwork -
simple obstacles to encourage co-ordination, and leading exercises (mainly
for dogs) all combining to form TTouch.
How did it develop ?
Whilst training to be a Feldenkrais
Practitioner around 30 years ago, Linda Tellington-Jones (a renowned
endurance rider in the United States) learnt how tension patterns affect
the ability to use the body with ease and how this affected the
functioning of the mind. Using gentle touch and movements, awareness is
brought to these patterns allowing the system to naturally search for new
ways of being.
Linda began to apply these principles to her horses and
saw extraordinary changes; drastically reduced recovery times, injury
reduction and increased performance.
Over time, Linda developed the
circular TTouches and started to teach others in seminars and then via the
Practitioner Training Programme.
There are now practitioners worldwide,
including a strong (and growing) team here in the UK.
