There are 5 key areas of your dog's world where massage can benefit them. These are:

🐾 Gait - the range and ease of movement (walking, running etc).

🐾 Posture - the level of comfort your dog has when sitting or lying down (and the ease with which they transition through these moves).

🐾 Behaviour - pain can change behaviours, so using massage to relieve soft tissue pain can help.

🐾 Daily Activities - soft tissue pain can affect how easily they can get in or out of their bed or the car, use steps or stairs, or play.

🐾 Performance - working and sporting dogs, like elite athletes, can benefit from massage to keep their muscles in great condition.

*Customer Feedback*

It's really important for me to take time to build a connection with your dog. Patience, going at their pace, and respecting their responses matters.

Here's what J had to say about my work with their dog:

"Karen gained Badger’s trust and spoke reassuringly to him during the treatments. She was responsive to his needs and responded empathetically to the feedback he gave her.

As an owner, I appreciated Karen’s explanation of what she was doing and why and what she was finding as she went along.

I also appreciated her follow up advice for post-treatment. I would definitely recommend canine massage: I have a preference for natural healing processes over medication every time."
