Barbara - Galen West Norfolk

Barbara - Galen West Norfolk I am a Galen Myotherapist, I treat dogs with muscular issues arising from injury, Arthritis, Hip Dysplaysia etc. Veterinary Consent is Required

Galen Myotherapy works on the dogs muscular system where issues are an extremely common and underestimated cause of pain. These issues can manifest themselves in many different ways. The pain can cause stress that will have a negative effect on how the dog functions both physically and psychologically. Galen Myotherapy promotes muscle function. This is achieved through easing congestions within th

e fibres, caused through injury, compensatory or repetitive strain issues. Injury and muscle fibre damage can cause a shortening within the muscle which will cause stress over the joints they move. By easing tension and increasing muscle length, joint function is improved and optimum 'range of movement' is achieved. This results in improved mobility, performance and a reduction in pain perception.

Next in our Tongue to Tail series: The Eyes

While we don't physically treat a dog's eyes, their appearance can reveal a great deal about their comfort level.

The good news is that as a dog's comfort improves, you'll often see a positive change in their eyes and as the saying goes “the eyes are the window to the soul".

Let’s see your dog's souls…..

Ears: A Key in Our Tongue to Tail Assessment

When your dog first meets a Galen Myotherapist, a key part of their assessment will be looking at posture and symmetry. This "Tongue to Tail" approach includes looking at the ears, to see if the left and right are symmetrical in height.

This is just one of the many postural assessments we conduct.

In the meantime, we'd love to see photos of your dog's ears! Floppy, perfectly pointed, extra large, or extra flappy – let’s see them!

Continuing our 'Tongue to Tail' series, we're now focusing on the masseter muscles!

"The what?" we hear you ask!

These muscles, located in your dog's cheeks, are responsible for chewing and mastication. However, like any muscle, they can become overworked. This often happens when a dog over-recruits muscles during movement. Similar to humans clenching their jaw for extra effort, dogs can exhibit the same behaviour.

During a Galen Myotherapy treatment, your therapist may work on these muscles, and you might observe your dog visibly relax as they do.

Next in our Tongue to Tail series is the Tongue!

Did you know that a dog uses their tongue for balance?

The tongue is suspended from the hyoid apparatus and if this is damaged, it can affect your dog's balance and also cause neck pain.

Something as seemingly insignificant as face planting or running into an object can lead to this type of injury,

Wow, what a weekend we had at Goodwoof!

We had the absolute pleasure of meeting so many wonderful dogs and people, and introduced them to the benefits of helping their dogs with massage techniques as well as looking at simple postural changes to track their dogs health.

We did two talks on both Saturday and Sunday in the Randox Wellness tent and we were fully booked for all our sessions!

Thank you to everyone who came along and please get in touch if we can help or advise you in anyway: https://www.galenmyotherapy.com/about
