It calls for a sound, comprehensive knowledge of the dog’s muscular make-up and anatomy. Many times people say ' I massage my dog at home' – and, no doubt, a gentle massage can be very soothing for the animal. But this is a world away fr

om delivering the benefits of a professional massage. When carried out by a trained professional, massage can bring about profound positive change and significantly improve your dog’s health and mobility. Therapeutic Canine Massage is an effective physical therapy for dogs. Unlike canine physiotherapy which concentrate on strengthening the muscle canine massage lengthens and softens the muscle. I´m a professional Canine Masseuse, trained in Canine Anatomy and Physiology. I´m also trained in 4 modalities of massage; Swedish, Deep Tissue, Sports and Myofascial Release. As well as being great for general well being, canine massage has many more benefits:

Improved Mobility. Improves the ability to exercise. Improvement in weight bearing on all four limbs. Effective Form of Pain Management. Helps the dog to have a better quality of life. Improves flexibility and muscle tone. Improves Range Of Motion. Interrupts neurological pain signals and reduces chronic pain associated with conditions such as Osteoarthritis and Hip Dysplasia. Relieves stress, anxiety and depression. Reduces adhesions, scarring and swelling. Improves the condition of the skin, the bodies largest organ. Reduce post surgery recovery times i.e.: cruciate ligaments. Massage is a natural method of managing your dogs health and prolonging their quality of their life.

Petrissage is a massage technique that uses kneading, rolling, and lifting movements to work further into the muscles.

It’s slower and deeper than effleurage, and it’s one of the main techniques used in canine massage.

It helps the therapist assess the texture and tone of the muscles while working through different layers of tissue.

Minnie has been having massage treatments to help manage her arthritis.

Massage can ease stiffness, improve circulation, and support better mobility—all without side effects.

While pain meds have their place, hands-on care can really boost comfort and quality of life.

It’s about treating the whole dog, not just masking pain. ✨

If in doubt, don’t go out!

A dog’s normal body temperature is 38.3°C–39.2°C, and heatstroke can start at just 41°C — only a 3°C rise.

This life-threatening condition can develop fast and be deadly if not treated immediately.

Keep your dog safe in hot weather: skip the walk, stay cool, and know the signs.

Minna loves her regular massage sessions. ✨✨

She has luxating patella so I spend a few more minutes on her quadriceps: if these muscles tighten they shorten and can pull on the patella.

I also make sure I work on her iliocostalis as it tends to overcompensates for any hind limb weakness.

Knowing a muscle’s origins, insertions, and understanding compensatory patterns is essential for delivering an effective treatment. 🐶

Poppy loving her hind leg massage! 🐶 But every session is a full-body treatment — tension rarely stays in just one spot. When one area’s sore, others often compensate.

A full-body massage helps restore balance, improve movement, and support overall wellbeing.

This is Poppy — small but mighty! 💥

Active dogs like her work hard, and massage plays a key role in keeping their bodies balanced and ready for action.

Massage helps maintain flexibility, reduce the risk of injury, ease sore muscles, and spot minor issues before they become bigger problems.

It’s not pampering — it’s essential care for dogs who love to move!
