What Is Clinical Canine Massage?
Clinical Canine Massage is a non-invasive, holistic, result-driven treatment that benefits dogs of all ages and breeds, whether they are pets, how dogs or sporting dogs. It increases mobility, eases aches and pains, and reduces soreness and stiffness, giving your dog a better quality of life.
Massage therapy is a natural form of pain relief that treats soft tissue and muscular conditions. It also supports orthopaedic conditions like arthritis, and other join problems such as hip/elbow dysplasia, by relieving and managing pain.
In addition, Clinical Canine Massage can help resolve many day-to-day mobility issues, whether they have appeared suddenly or been affecting your dog for a while. Getting your dog therapeutically treated is a must for any owner concerned about their dogs mobility and health. It can help identify the exact nature of the problem affecting your dog and them importantly, do something about it by means of an hour of hands-on-therapy.
If you have seen your dog limping, observed any gait irregularity, or noticed that it is having difficulty with any number of ordinary daily activities such as going up or down the stairs, climbing onto chairs or the sofa, getting in and out of the car, or just more generally slowing down, then your dog will benefit from Clinical Massage therapy.
I aim to give your dog tangible results in just 1 to 3 sessions.
Have You Noticed Any of The Following Changes in Your Dog?
Lameness, Limping & Gait Irregularities
Persistent limping, favouring one leg over the other, or difficulty bearing weight on a particular limb can indicate musculoskeletal issues.
Stiffness, Posture & Reduced Mobility
Dogs experiencing stiffness, especially after periods of rest or inactivity, may have underlying muscular or joint problems. A decrease in mobility, reluctance to move, or trouble getting up or down can signal the need for professional intervention.
Behavioural Changes
Unexplained changes in behavior such as irritability, aggression, or withdrawal, particularly when touched or approached, can be signs of discomfort or pain.
Activities of Daily Living
Has your dog been struggling to get up or down from the furniture, stairs or in and out of the car? Slowing down on walks?
Performance
Sporting dogs with early onset fatigue, lack of drive, missing contacts, or any deviation from natural performances.
4 Massage Disciplines, Muscle Rehabilitation
By addressing soft tissue injury or dysfunction I help to improve your dog's condition in 1-3 sessions.
I use 4 disciplines of massage and the scientifically proven Lenton Method® of advanced myofascial releases (used only by members of the Canine Massage Guild). This has been clinically proven to improve the efficacy of canine massage in 95% of dogs.
Using a combination of Swedish, Sports, Deep Tissue, and Myofascial Releases, I help to rehabilitate soft tissue injuries commonly seen as lameness and support dogs with orthopaedic conditions such as Osteoarthritis, Hip/Elbow Dysplasia, and Spondylosis by alleviating and managing pain.
Canine massage treats debilitating trigger points, strains, and tight sore muscles causing chronic pain. Muscles are lengthened, and relaxed, scar tissue remodelled, adhesions released improving range of motion, restoring mobility and flexibility, giving your dog a new lease of life.’
Clinical Canine Massage isn't just for dogs in chronic pain; it's about maintaining peak muscular function and overall health.
Regular massage facilitates natural pain relief. It is beneficial for all dogs of all ages and breeds, whether they are a pet, show dog or sporting dog participating in agility or flyball.
