I am a fully trained Galen Canine Myotherapist © providing clinical massage treatment along with rehabilitation programmes. Treatments are totally specific to your dog whoever they may be: young or old, show dog, athlete or just simply your best friend.

I offer a safe, compassionate treatment in your home, at ground level so your dog feels comfortable and if at any point they want to get up, shake, get some water, move about or leave; they can.       

I can treat your dog as a preventative therapy to keep their muscles in optimal health. In addition massage will help: 

What my customers say

What does the treatment involve?

Meet you and your dog

Before I can treat your dog it is required by law that I have a signed referral form from your vet to say they are happy for the treatment to go ahead. You can download the form here. Once I have that we'll arrange a time to meet in a comfortable environment for your dog where I can help them to trust me. This can be in your home.

Full postural and movement assessment

I will take time to really look at how your dog moves, where there are limitations, areas of imbalance and where your dog may be compensating. I will palpate their muscles to identify areas of soreness, tension, atrophy and trigger points.

Myotherapy

Myotherapy is an advanced form of remedial massage. I will aim to spend around 45 minutes using targeted massage techniques to benefit your dog. If at anytime they want to get up and walk away I won't stop them! It is always their choice.

More than just a massage

I’ll also look at their home environment, their activity type and levels and I will give you some specific biomechanical rehabilitative exercises that are fun for your dog.

A tailored plan for you

I will leave you with a full set of recommendations and a simple plan that you can start to implement straight away with your dog.  This will optimise their muscle function and mobility in the home and out and about.

Show your dog you love them

I’ll teach you some massage techniques to use safely on your dog. It’s a great way to show them how much you love them!
