TTouch™ - the
Tellington-TTouch - is a method based on circular movements of the fingers and hands all
over the body. The intent of the TTouch is to activate the function of the cells and
awaken cellular intelligence - a little like "turning on the electric lights of the
body." The TTouch is done on the entire body, and each circular TTouch is complete
within itself. Therefore it is not necessary to understand anatomy to be successful in
speeding up the healing of injuries or ailments, or changing undesirable habits or
behaviour.
The Tellington TTouch is a
specialized approach to the care and training of horses. Developed by internationally
recognized animal expert, Linda Tellington-Jones, this method based on cooperation and
respect offers a positive approach to training, can improve performance and health and
presents solutions to common behavioural and physical problems. It also helps establish a
deeper rapport between humans and animals through increased understanding and more
effective communication.
Using a combination of
specific touches, lifts, and movement exercises, TTouch helps to release tension and
increase body awareness. This allows the horse to be handled without provoking typical
fear responses. The horse can learn more easily new and more appropriate behaviours. By
using the TTouch and a variety of other tools, such as ground exercises, you can assist
the horse in experiencing self-confidence in previously frightening situations. Even the
most difficult problems are often eliminated. You can also learn how to apply the
Tellington TTouch to assist with recovery from illness or injury, or just enhance the
quality of your horse's life.
The Tellington TTouch can help
in cases of:
· Bucking and rearing
· Reluctance to be caught
· Pulling back when tied
· Aggressive Behaviour
· Shying
· Resistance to Grooming
· Excitability & Nervousness
· Loading/travelling
This gentle method is
currently being used by horse owners, trainers, breeders, veterinarians, zoo personnel and
rescue/rehabiltation workers in several countries. There are many certified practitioners
teaching TTEAM around the world who can show you how to help your horse. Please click on UK TTEAM Practitioners to
