CANINE MASSAGE

Clinical Canine Massage

Results you can see and your dog can feel in 1-3 sessions
Clinical Canine Massage is a non-invasive, holistic therapy centered around the scientific application of muscle manipulation.  With 45% of a dogs bodyweight made up of muscle, canine massage works by releasing tight, sore muscles, removing debilitating `Knots' or Trigger Points that cause referred pain and helps rehabilitate injuries by breaking down restrictive scar tissue caused by daily activities that may be responsible for your dogs discomfort.  It resolves many day to day mobility issues whether they have come on suddenly or have been there for some time.  Clinical Canine Massage helps improve;
  • Gait
  • Posture
  • Activities of Daily Living
  • Behaviour

Shows and Events

FREE muscular health checks are available at any shows and events I attend.  Unfortunately I wont be able to carry out any treatment as it is illegal to treat your dog without prior Veterinary consent.

I also offer pre and post event massages to existing clients at shows and events I attend.  Please see my Calendar of Events to secure an allotted time slot.
