Jester is a 4 year old Scottie and he has been showing signs of pain across his back. One of the signs is aggression when someone attempts to go near his back. Jester gets muzzled for grooming and massage due to his pain and for my safety. He done amazingly well and showing signs of improvement and less discomfort. Well done Jester 🐾🐾

This is Prince, he is a Golden Retriever and at a young age of only 1 year old and was in for his first massage treatment.

Prince has an orthopaedic condition called Hip Dysplasia and it is a common disease for his breed.

Prince's owner first noticed there was an issue while watching him walk and noticed the abnormalities and decided to seek veterinary advice.

I performed a gait analysis on Prince and could clearly see the signs; he bunny hops, his rear end moves back & forth in a swaying movement and enlargement of the shoulder muscles, this is due to more weight exerted on the front legs to avoid weight bearing on the hind legs.

The outcome of his first treatment was incredible and myself and Prince's owner can clearly see a huge difference. His mobility had improved, his swaying gait had decreased and he was a much happier, lively boy.

Prince accepted the treatment and clearly enjoyed it (photo's shows how much he loved it) And the main reason for the massage treatment was to help him and overall he had improved massively.

What is Hip Dysplasia?

Hip dysplasia is one of the most common skeletal diseases seen in dogs. Gender does not seem to be a factor, but some breeds are more likely to have the genetic predisposition for hip dysplasia. Large and giant breeds are most commonly affected, including the Great Dane, Saint Bernard, Labrador/Retriever, Rottweiler and German Shepherd.

Canine hip dysplasia is a disease that affects the hip joint, usually bilaterally (on both sides of the dog’s hips). In healthy dogs, the hip joint works like a ball (femoral) and socket (acetabulum) that slides smoothly when they walk or run. In the case of dogs with hip dysplasia, the joint doesn’t develop correctly during their puppy years, and the ball and socket don’t fit well together. This laxity (or looseness) of the joint means the ball moves around loosely in the socket, which can lead to painful degenerative joint disease or osteoarthritis, which is the body’s attempt to stabilise the loose hip joint.

This is Hudson and he's a 6 year black Labrador.

Hudson has "suspected Elbow Dysplasia" and his owner often noticed he was lame on his hind limbs and had to see his veterinary surgeon for pain relief to help him cope on a daily basis and out on his walks.

Hudson comes for monthly massage treatments and has been coming for several months now and his owner has noticed a big change overall especially, his mobility and his behaviour, he is a much happier dog and enjoys his monthly massage sessions.

What is Elbow Dysplasia?

Elbow Dysplasia in dogs occurs when the articulation between the 3 bones that form the elbow do not articulate correctly and develop abnormally. The three bones that forms the elbow, are the; humerus, radius and ulna.

There are 4 classifications of elbow dysplasia. Commonly the disorder will be classified as one of the following.

Fragmented Coronoid Process (FCP)
Ununited Anconeal Process (UAP)
Osteochondrosis Dissecans (OCD)
Medial Compartment Disease (MSC)

What causes of Elbow Dysplasia?

Elbow dysplasia is mainly due to "Breed Predisposition" in larger breeds, such as; Labrador/Retriever, German Shepherd and Rottweiler.

Other causes is canine obesity (overweight). This can speed up the wear and tear process on the joints which can then lead to pain. A small weight reduction can make a huge difference to the dog's quality of life.

Finally, some other reasons that may cause the disease is the care of the dog whilst they are puppies, such as; not over exercising and allowing them repetitive access to tun up and down stairs when they are young or injury / trauma to the joint.

Massage can help ED through;

Pain management (reduce pain)

Addresses protective muscle splinting

Addresses areas of overcompensation

May improve range of motion depending on the severity
