📣 Antinol Pro Partner Announcement 📣
📣 Discount Code - KISMET 📣

I am a keen advocate of adopting an holistic approach to a dog’s general well-being. I have decided to concentrate my efforts on musculoskeletal support, but I have always taken into consideration other therapies, diet and supplements.

I initially wanted to introduce a good quality joint supplement when my dog, Star, suffered a cruciate injury that it was decided to manage non-surgically. I chose Antinol UK as it was recommended by several dog professionals whose opinion I trusted. I was really pleased with the results and I could physically see the benefits! Now my younger, sporting collies both take Antinol for preventative purposes. Whenever I have needed to contact Antinol, I have always had a friendly, helpful and positive experience.

What is Antinol?
🤔It is a super potent blend of Green Lipped Mussel Oil
🤔It contains over 90 essential fatty acids
🤔It’s unique, proprietary extraction technology ensures the highest quality of oils

🧐 Orthopaedic Condition Information 🧐
🐾 Humeral Intracondylar Fissure 🐾

A Client recently asked me about this condition and as it is not as well-known as some other orthopaedic conditions, I thought I would post a little summary about it….

Humeral Intracondylar Fissure (HIF), formally known as “Incomplete Ossification of the Humeral Condyle” is a condition affecting the Humerus Bone and Elbow joint. It can be found in any breed, but it appears to mostly affect spaniels, predominately English Springer Spaniels and American Cocker Spaniels, although it is not known why.

It is very simply put as a crack or fracture that can partially separate the Humeral Condyle of the Humerus, or in some cases completely separate it in half. This results in a weakness to the bone in this area. HIF is usually diagnosed through a CT Scan of the area following persistent pain in the elbow joint, ongoing weight bearing foreleg lameness or following a break to the Humerus bone! This is usually when participating in ‘normal’ activity. In younger dogs it is thought to be a developmental issue, but as it also presents in older dogs it is thought that it can also be developed as an unexplained Stress Fracture.

As not every dog with HIF will go on to experience a complete break of the Humerus, owners will sometimes adopt a ‘wait and see’ approach to this condition. The other option is orthopaedic surgery, inserting a screw to support the weakened Humeral Condyle. For those in the local area, we do have one of the leading experts of HIF close by. Andy Moore of Moores Orthopaedic Clinic has published several papers on the condition. More information about the condition and how Moores Orthopaedic Clinic can help can be found here - https://mooresortho.com/blog/humeral-intracondylar-fissure/

This is a brilliant course! I completed it earlier in the year when it was opened up to just Guild Therapists and it really helped me through a transitional period. Just a small change like helping me sleep better had a big impact. I am sure I mentioned to a few clients that it would be opened up outside the Guild, so here it is… I can highly recommend it ☺️

Earlier in the year I completed the rigorous training with the British School of Meditation to become an accredited Meditation Teacher.

I will soon be offering these classes to the general public via Zoom as weekly live lessons, so whether or not you are a dog or animal owner, someone looking to manage stress and anxiety, manage health issues, or whether you have always wanted to explore meditation with an experienced teacher but haven't known where to start, I can show you how. I guarantee you meditation success within the very first lesson so come and learn with me and feel the changes in your day to day life....

- Booking details for the 5 week course are released on Wednesday 25th Sept on this page and costs just £47.50 (PLUS VAT) for the full course.
- You can choose from Tuesdays evenings at 7.30pm-8.30pm
- Or choose from Friday mornings at 7.30am - 8.30am
- You will also receive log in details to an online school with the meditations and PDFs as well as some other bonuses.
- Max of 15 students per class.
-You are welcome to ask questions or get involved in discussions or if you prefer you don't have to say anything at all. This is a class for you to feel comfortable.

On another note, to answer the most common question heres some info below.......

Q: What's this got to with your business of canine massage training?

💫 As part of my own wellness and self care I began meditating 10 years ago.As a flat out business owner, therapist and teacher I needed something to bring me back to me.

🌟 I bring aspects of it into my course as I teach students the art of self regulation which is a key skill for working with dogs. Knowing how to change your physiology for working with dogs is a key aspect of success and something i had to learn the hard way as its just not taught. I teach this to all my students.

☀️ From there, I also teach how to have a therapeutic 'conversation' with a dog in pain so that therapy can be provided in a mindful and respectful way which leads to better results and a more compassionate, understanding experience for dog and owner. This is done via physical, mental and emotional means of both dog and therapist.

🌙 In my classroom I often talk through different styles of meditation or mindfullness to enhance the lesson, improve empathy and understanding and so the student can enter into therapy with the right frame of mind and physiological self understanding and awareness needed for close up hands on work with dogs that last for often around 45-50 minutes. With my method you can't just poke and prod and 'do' a technique and hope for the best which is what has made it so successful

So you see meditation, which is misunderstood, is at the very core of what I do. It is the cornerstone.

a few weeks ago i completed training with 45 of my meditation students over 3 groups and they LOVED it! will you be next?

If you want to learn with me, get the scientific backing and research behind meditation and bust some myths around meditation then I look forward to teaching you

Best of wishes
Natalie

🌟Advanced Indirect Myofascial Release🌟

It has been a busy year for CPD and I will post about other courses that I have completed soon, but this course deserves posting about now 😊

I am already trained in the Lenton Method - 7 Direct Myofascial Release Protocols - plus several Indirect Myofascial Releases, but I have just spent an amazing 2 days at the Canine Massage Therapy Centre learning more Advanced Indirect Myofascial Releases. Why was this course so amazing?

🧐 Theory - Learning about fascial lines and how they correlate to the dog’s anatomy. Determining clinical reasoning for using each release.
🤗 Therapist Support - The opportunity to treat each other, providing and receiving feedback. I am so grateful to my partner for permitting me to have a ‘conversation’ with her fascia and helping me understand that this subtle, intuitive treatment can have such a profound effect on our bodies.
🐶 Treatment for our dogs - witnessing how incredible this therapy can be for our dogs. Seeing them melt into the releases and then allowing their bodies time to process the changes that have been facilitated.

My understanding of Fascia has reached a whole other dimension and I can’t wait to help dogs with these releases 🥰

And here is Buzz who had a treatment this morning, predominately using a couple of these releases! He fell into such a deep sleep (even though his eye is open) that we had to patiently wait for him to wake up 💙

Muscles pull on bones to create movement, and when arthritis is present, the joint has to recruit extra support of muscles which leads to your dog offloading, overcompensating on other limbs, primary as well as secondary areas of muscular and myofascial pain, and habitual patterns of tension throughout the whole body

So it's not just the joint thats affected.
It's your dog's whole body.
We can help.

This is a little appreciation post to my girls 🩷

I have had a stand at several local markets, fetes and fun dog shows so far this year, offering free muscular health checks and talking about the benefits of Clinical Canine Massage and Canine Conditioning (and there are still a few more to come over the next couple of months!)

My dogs have come with me to all but one and they have watched me set up, listened to me say the same things several times and seen me make a fuss of lots of lovely dogs! They have taken it all in their stride and haven’t made a fuss (they have also had some lovely walks - so not all work!) I am very grateful to and proud of them 🥰🐶💕

I spent a lovely morning visiting with Lucy, her gorgeous dogs and lovely boarders at the Long Dog Hotel ☺️

Lucy only boards Dachshunds and specialises in caring for those with IVDD, meaning that owners can still have that well deserved holiday, whilst knowing that the additional needs of their dogs are not only met, but exceeded. It was lovely to see so many thoughtful adaptions made to her home to ensure that the dogs could still be dogs, but safely 💕

Clinical Canine Massage Therapy can help with the general well-being of long backed dogs, like Dachshunds, especially those recovering from IVDD 🐶🐾
