Why Massage?
Massage therapy offers numerous advantages for your pet's well being!
Clinical massage enhances healthy blood circulation, ensuring that essential hydration and nutrients effectively reach your dog’s musculoskeletal system. It also supports the health of fascia, the connective tissue that surrounds their organs, muscles, and overall body. Injuries, surgeries, and circulation issues can cause this fascia to adhere to muscles, leading to restricted movement, inflammation, and reduced hydration, resulting in discomfort and pain.
Active dogs may experience muscle fatigue and overuse, which can disrupt their muscle function and lead to toxin accumulation. This increases the risk of injuries and compensatory problems. Massage stretches and relaxes tight muscles, improving posture, tone and cell function.
Conditions like arthritis can significantly benefit from massage, as it promotes joint mobility through stretching and reduces stiffness, enhances range of motion, and minimises muscle wastage.
In many cases, discomfort within the musculoskeletal system can lead to increased stress and reactivity in dogs. We aim to promote a healthier, more comfortable life for your furry friend.

Massage Therapy Sessions

Our 1 hour massage session includes:
Gait Assessment: By observing your dog's movement, we assess their gait for any irregularities that may indicate underlying muscular or orthopaedic issues.
Full Body Palpation: We conduct a thorough examination of your dog's muscle tone, joint health and fascia condition, identifying any signs of weakness, pain or tension.
Posture Assessment: Posture can tell us a lot about where the body is compensating and avoiding. This enables us to understand what may going on with your pet and help us to tailor their specialist care.
Trigger Point Release: Trigger points are painful for our pets. We aim to relieve the tension, reducing discomfort and promoting healthier muscles.
Clinical Massage Techniques: Focused on relieving pain and improving circulation for older dogs or those recovering from surgery or injury. This is also a great session for sporting, working and active dogs. Massage can improve the dog’s performance, enhancing power, speed and reducing the risk of injury.
Myofascial Release: We aim to release adhesive fascia, a connective tissue that can become unhealthy, restricting movement and circulation.
Joint Mobilisation Techniques: We evaluate the flexibility of your dog’s joints and muscles, reducing restrictions in movement and improving compensational impact on the rest of the body.
