Massage is a 100% natural treatment which aims to relax, revive and heal the body, using hands on movements and manipulation of the soft tissues, fascia and muscles of the body. Massage therapy works to promote healing, relieve stress points and enhance a dog’s well-being.
There are many forms of massage therapy, each with their own benefits. A massage typically consists of stroking, kneading, rolling and pressing of the skin and muscles.

I expect to see changes with 1-3 sessions.
The first session will consist of a detailed assessment of your dog and it's daily life, home environment and general routine. I will do a full gait(movement) and posture analysis. I will then examine your dog and palate the soft tissues and muscles. I will be looking for trigger points, myofascial pain and muscle strains. These cannot be seen with the naked eye but they can be felt when palpated by and experienced clinician. I will then commence the treatment paying special attention to any areas of concern.
The first appointment can take up to an hour and a half. Any subsequent treatment will take 45 minutes to an hour.
The charge for each session (including the first session) will be £40. I accept cash or card payments and they are to be made at the time of the consultation.
Before any treatment is initiated, I need your vet to sign a consent form. This can be downloaded from here.
