Question 4

What is Canine Massage?

Accepted Answer

Animals benefit from massage for the same reasons us humans do!
This nose to tail approach treats the animal as an individual, observing the dog’s body language to help guide the right technique for the right part of the body. 
Each treatment will include the most effective combination of techniques and provide additional after care suggestions to the owner to maximise the benefits after the treatment and/or until the next.
It combines Swedish massage, deep tissue massage, fascia release, stretches and mobilisation approaches for the neck, back and limbs.
See Canine Massage for more details.

Question 6

How do I know if my Pet Needs Treatment?

Accepted Answer

Whether your furry friend is young, old, active or a bit of a plodder, they can benefit from having some TLC treatment. 
Typical signs your dog may show discomfort can be :- limping (especially after exercise), struggling or slowing down on walks, nibbling/licking/biting a particular area, using one leg more than other or look different when they move, finding it hard to get in/out of car, sleeping more, not wanting to be touched/examined/groomed in a particular area.
Common conditions treatment sessions can help with include - arthritis, hip/elbow dysplasia, cruicate ligament disease, spondylosis and many more.  Also soft tissue conditions such as strains, sprains, limping.
But don't forget, they can also help physiologically.  Helping your pet to relax, de-stress and unwind - just like us humans!   
Treatments can help animals who have injured themselves (recently or had long term), are recovering from an operation, do a lot of activity or suffer with aches and pains – such as arthritis as they get older.  Bascially any pet!

Question 7

How will my Pet React During the treatment?

Accepted Answer

Some animals can take a while to settle but generally they relax into it pretty quickly. 
It helps to have a peaceful environment where there are unlikely to be distractions such as other pets or people coming and going. 
If I'm treating your dog and you have a busy household, I am happy to treat your pet in my peaceful garden studio located in Frome, Somerset.
