Due to the volume of animals coming in we will be requiring payment AT TIME OF BOOKING. This will also allow us to keep admitting wait times down.

Bodywork helps dogs move more freely by releasing muscle tension, improving flexibility, and promoting balanced movement throughout the body. When muscles and joints work together smoothly, it reduces uneven strain and helps prevent injuries caused by overcompensation or restricted motion—keeping your dog active, comfortable, and performing at their best.

Bodywork isn’t just beneficial after orthopedic surgery—it can also play an important role in pre-surgical preparation. By reducing existing muscle tension, improving circulation, and promoting balanced movement, bodywork helps create a healthier foundation for healing. When a dog goes into surgery with relaxed, well-functioning tissues, it can lead to smoother recovery, less compensatory strain, and improved post-operative outcomes.

When one area of a dog’s body becomes sore or weak, other muscles step in to compensate, creating imbalances and tension over time. These compensation patterns can lead to stiffness, reduced range of motion, and discomfort.
Canine bodywork helps release tension, restore balance, and improve overall movement and comfort—helping your dog feel and function at their best.

Quinten's face when that myofascial release gets the right spot.

Myofascial release in a bodywork session is a gentle, hands-on technique focused on relieving tension and restrictions within the fascia — the connective tissue that surrounds and supports muscles, joints, and organs. During a session, slow, sustained pressure or stretching is applied to areas of tightness to help the fascia soften and rehydrate, restoring normal movement between muscles and tissues.

For dogs, this technique helps improve flexibility, circulation, and overall comfort while reducing pain caused by compensatory strain or restricted mobility. It’s a calming, non-invasive approach that supports the body’s natural ability to rebalance and heal.
