Last massage of the year complete.

Having some time off now until the end of January to re set.
The past few months have been very full on between my full time job and Agile Paws.

I am however, forever grateful for my lovely clients who trust me to keep working with their incredible dogs. ❤🐾

Best way to end the day 😊.

I've made a loose agreement with myself to not take on any new dogs for the rest of the year. My mortgage job has gotten a bit crazy and burn out is looming.
Still got plenty of maintenance pups to keep me busy but if you're really keen to get started, send me a message...I'll see what I can do!

Well worth joining if you're at home with your dog tonight. A taster session is where it all started for me! 😊🐾

REMINDER!!! TONIGHT @ 7pm FREE MASTERCLASS WITH NATALIE LENTON - Link at the bottom of this post. No registration needed just turn up!✨✨

🐾 Online Mini Massage Masterclass – Live with Natalie Lenton
Join canine. massage expert Natalie Lenton on
Wednesday 22nd October at 7pm (UK) for a 75-minute interactive Zoom workshop where you’ll learn how to gently connect with your dog through safe, soothing massage techniques. ALSO learn why one of these foundational techniques is taught incorrectly in the world of professional massage and animal therapy (seriously) and how to avoid charlatans when it comes to choosing a massage therapist for your dog.

In this relaxed, hands-on session, Natalie will guide you step-by-step through three foundational techniques designed to help your dog unwind while helping you understand their body, assess for areas of tension, and deepen your bond.

As she demonstrates with her own dogs you will see the various biomechanical positions the dogs present, so that you will have options to try out and how to work WITH your dog rather than ON your dog. They don't need to lie down, just be present with you and you with them.

You’ll work with your own dog in real time as she demonstrates the techniques and discusses their physiological and psychological benefits while encouraging you and your dog to join in. She shares insights from over 20 years in canine massage therapy, and shows you how mindful touch can improve awareness, trust, and relaxation.

Quite often these foundational techniques are taught incorrectly but with Natalie you can be assured to get it right first, time every time!

We look forward to seeing you and your dog there!

What is fascia?? 👀

🐾 Fascinating Fascia — the hidden hero of movement 💪

Fascia isn’t just filler, it’s a dynamic, fluid-filled network that wraps around muscles, organs, and nerves. When it’s healthy, your dog moves with ease. When it’s not? You’ll see stiffness, twitching, flinching… even changes in posture or behaviour.

💡 Groomers, owners, therapists, you can help:

✔️ Gentle handling
✔️ Non-slip surfaces
✔️ Light massage
✔️ Movement breaks
✔️ Spot the signs early

Fascia matters. Muscle matters. Your dog’s comfort depends on both.

Meet Pepper, gorgeous new client who just had her first session this evening.

She has given me lots to work on over the next two weeks.

The main goal is to prolong the pain relief inbetween her monthly veterinary treatments🤞🏻

Muscles matter! 💪🏼🐕

Why does muscle get ignored when it comes to injury, slowing down and chronic pain management for our senior dogs with conditions like arthritis? Without muscle the dog would be unable to move (bones don't move themself you know!) So when it comes to 'mystery' pain with your dog, maybe its not so mystery after all.....

Hip Dysplasia causes secondary sources of pain, such as trigger points and myofascial pain.

Treating these sources is just as important as the treatment of the hip joint.

A multimodal approach to treating Hip Dysplasia is required. This of course includes massage!

Massage will:

🐾 Assist in pain relief

🐾 Reduce inflammation around the joint

🐾 Relieve tension and stiffness

🐾 Improve mobility and flexibility

🐾 Improve posture and muscle balance

Does your dog have Hip Dysplasia or another orthopaedic condition?
I have new client availability now!
