Functional Terminology

 Contraindications: When NOT to IPTouch. This is one of the most important awareness goals of the IPTouch AMCP as this knowledge will truly guide animals to wellness and safety.

 Animal Anatomical Position: Animal position requires their permission and comfort during IPTouch.

 Tension Patterns: Emotional or physical stress will cause physical holding patterns. The change in circulation and movement creates a dis-ease. Changing tension patterns is the first step in IPTouch.

 ‘Coupling’: Animals may disassociate a part of their body when another is symptomatic of a dis-ease pattern. This facilitates proprioceptive compensation and eventually fatigues the full body.

 The Peripheral Nervous System is made up of the Somatic (voluntary movement) and Autonomic (involuntary movement) Nervous Systems. The Autonomic Nervous System governs two areas that IPTouch can greatly affect the Sympathetic (SNS) and Parasympathetic Nervous Systems (PNS).
