Mission Statement My goal is to get you pain-free as soon as possible, allowing
you to return to your daily activities without pain. I invite you to be pain-free.
When I work on either dogs or cats, I make house calls. The dog or cat seems to be more at ease and is calmer in this setting that is familiar to them. Many times I have the owner hold the animal as I move around to various positions as I work. This has proven to be the best way in reducing strain on the animal during treatment. Sessions can last from 40 minutes to an hour depending on how much energy the animal’s body will absorb.
When working with dogs, many times the results from the treatment may show up immediately or may take up to two days depending on the animal. Fluidity of movement increases and or they exhibit more energy. Comments like: “I haven’t seen him run like that since he was five” or “He jumped up into the truck. He hasn’t done that in years.” is not uncommon.
Most of the animals I have worked with up to date have been older dogs, some as old as seventeen years old where the pain is due to age and I have been able to improve the animal’s quality of life. Some of the owners are trying to turn back the clock in order to keep their pet around forever. This in understandable. I an not GOD. I can’t turn back to clock. The love I give each animal during treatment is to reduce pain and improve the quality of life for their remaining years.

My dog Abby . . .
an 11 year old Black Lab, has been a competitor on a Flyball Racing team for 8 years. An lover of the game fetch; a natural fit for her. At our last tournament though her numbers spiked from a six second time to an eight second time. She seemed in pain after the tournament as well. After meeting Charles Garvey at a BNI meeting learning about the SET techniques, I immediately solicited his help. He was very good tempered with Abby which allowed him to work on her for almost 40 minutes applying the techniques. As a result, at our Flyball tournament 2 days later, she was back to her six second heat time, seemed “peppier” and had a faster post race recovery. We’ll be having Charles visit prior to every tournament from now on. Thanks Charles.

GOING TO THE DOGS - TESTIMONIALS
Below is a sample of some of the testimonials from some of my clients. I invite you to read them and judge for yourself.
There is no reason for your animals to be in pain.
Charles has treated my 11 year old miniature Dachshund several times with amazing results. My Dachshund jumped off the couch and injured his left front shoulder. He was in extreme pain; would not eat for days. All he did was lay around and whine, panting and trembling as if he was in a snow storm. The trembling was so bad at times he looked
as if he was having a seizure. On the 4th day I took him to Charles, within 20 minutes of Charles having his hands on him the trembling and panting stopped. By the end of the first session Bizkit was asleep in my lap. At that point, he had not slept in 3 days. Prior to this first treatment Bizkit had not been able to walk but a few steps mostly in the house. It was as if he had a deep fear to move.The next morning after this first treatment we went hiking-camping at the state park. Bizkit went with us and hiked for 2 miles without stopping. Yes this was probably not wise on our part to allow him to do this hike. But, you see we were thrilled to have our little buddy back with us. There has been 3 more sessions with Charles as follow-ups for flare ups from the original injury. Bizkit feels young and healthy again so he re-injured the shoulder. The second flare up was about 3 weeks after Charles’ first treatment. This pain level was worse than the first incident. We took him to the Vet to see if there was a disc problem. There was not, so the Vet gave him a shot for inflammation and pain pills. This did nothing to stop the pain.
The next morning he went back to Charles. I had to carry Bizkit into the treatment room with him again whining, panting and whelping from pain. He walked out on his own fours.
I am so grateful for Charles and the work he does. He’s given quality of life back to my little Dachshund.
