The Bladder Meridian Technique For Dogs

The Bladder Meridian Technique is the cornerstone technique of The Masterson Method®.  It is one of the major acupuncture meridians in the dog’s body.  Doing the Bladder Meridian Technique has a unique effect on balancing all the other meridians!

The Bladder meridian runs along each side of the dog’s spine, edge of the hind leg, and ends on the outside toe on each hind paw.  We go softly and slowly to establish communication through touch and response along the bladder meridian. Trust is strengthened because your dog understands you are both communicating in a common language, so to speak.  You will see how sensitive your dog is to touch and where they might be holding tension.

The technique uses Search Response Stay Release (SRSR) by running the hand lightly and slowly along the bladder meridian:

• SEARCH slowly along the bladder meridian with a light touch.
• Pause when your dog shows you a RESPONSE.
• Lightly STAY on the spot continuing to watch your dog’s responses.
• Wait until the dog shows a RELEASE.

When you learn The Bladder Meridian Technique, you will impact your dog’s body and mind.

• Establishes a foundation for communication between you and your dog.
• Major acupuncture meridian of the body that balances the entire meridian system.
• Fact-finding tool to show you where your dog is holding tension.
• It has a calming effect on both you and your dog by upregulating the parasympathetic nervous system.
