This one is a little late but this one was a little harder to post. Nikki stole my heart from the moment she walked into my life. It was my greatest pleasure to work with her and I found a friend for life in her mama. Love and miss you beautiful Nikki. The Little Dog Salon thank you for introducing us!

Spa Days hit a little differently over here! Some like it calm and relaxing while others, like Milo and Bandit, prefer it to be a fun filled experience filled with bubbles, treats and toys! They received more of a performance massage today vs our usual relaxation massage. Next time I’ll set up the agility course for them!

These two are the happiest little guys ever and
I just love them both so much! They are going to sleep very soundly tonight. 🤣 🤣

Interested in a Spa Day for your little fur baby but have limited time during the week? I travel within 10 miles of the PAWSitive Animal Massage Spa for pick up, drop off ($20) or both ($30).

Surrounding yourself with animals that love you unconditionally is the BEST therapy!

I always tell clients that though I provide a therapy to these amazing beings, they return the love in a form of therapy for me. I am truly blessed to have the honor to work with these beautiful souls!

Beebs’ visit was a successful session. She’s a perfect example of why massage practitioners often address compensating muscles instead of the injury site.

When Beebs arrived, she was slow and stiff. Mom said she had a hard time getting into the car and was unsure if it would happen. It was one of her worst attempts.

Her glutes are severely tight, and her hind limbs are weak. She also has a noticeable sway back that pulls tension on her neck and hind end. Her neck and thoracic sling muscles are tight from overcompensating for her hind end and weakened back.

Working gently on her gluteal fascial restrictions and tight gluts caused her anxiety and discomfort.

When I noticed these signs, I move to another place and generally return if they allow. As soon as I moved to her neck, her anxiety disappeared, and she fell asleep quickly. Her tight muscles went from severely hypertonic to mildly/moderately hypertonic. Then I moved to her tight bilateral trapezius muscle, which relaxed and felt healthy within moments. Back to her neck, it felt even less tense and more healthy.

When mom came in, Beebs woke up and moved around much easier. She was happy and bouncing around. As she got back into the car, mama commented how well she hopped in with little to no hesitation.

This is a HUGE reason I tell my client’s parents, “after a session like this, she is going to feel AMAZING and think she can run around like a puppy. Don’t let her. Have this evening be a relaxing, restful time.” Why would I say that? Because re-injury can easily happen here. They feel better so they may want to do more than they usually can and that’s when they can easily undo most of the progress we made. Rest, lots of water and relaxation is key right after a session like this.

I showed mama how she can help relax those hind end muscles at home doubling as desensitizing so next visit she may not be as anxious and allow me to do more work there.

Helping an animal is the best feeling. This sweet girl made my day! Now we know her neck and thoracic sling muscles are our starting point for each session.
