We are very proud to relate that one of our very own practitioners, Mr Tony Nevin from the Harmony Clinic, an osteopath in Cheltenham, has returned from Kenya having been involved in the first ever Osteopath workshop for elephants and rhinos. That is the first in the world! This kind of workshop has never been performed before.
After years of experience in treating people and animals, Tony was keen to see if orphaned or abused baby elephants and rhinos would respond to treatment in the same manner as young children who have been through similar traumas.
The findings were very encouraging, just after some very gentle treatments the babies became more relaxed and therefore approachable. Now how fantastic is that?
