The paw pads give our dogs a lot of traction and protect the foot, the leg, and the whole body. When the dog’s paws are properly taken care of, we can see

TESTIMONIAL-
When we first signed our dog up for clinical massage, we felt quite apprehensive about how he would respond. He fell in love with Inbal immediately and was very settled in her presence. Inbal has a lovely warmth and energy, which completely put our anxious dog at ease. She was very comforting when parts of the massage were sore. Our dog is less sore and moves with more ease after the sessions. Inbal found lots of trigger points and it was clear working on these really helped him.
We would really recommend Inbal’s services.

Mark and Lara.

TESTIMONIAL-
Charlie, our 12 year old Lab has had arthritis in his front elbows for a few years now. This has been managed with medication but we noticed that he was starting to slow down a bit. However, since Inbal has been massaging him, he has a new lease of life. He is playing with his ball again and has become even more of a cheeky chap than he’s ever been. It’s amazing to see him like this and we can’t thank Inbal enough. Even on one of his sessions with Inbal he was bringing his ball to her so the massage session turned into a play session!
Inbal is so gentle and professional and Charlie really enjoys his time with her. Thank you so much for helping our boy.

This is Coco, a 15 year old Labrador suffering from arthritis. Coco does not like being handled, and when we found out that she was not happy receiving massage therapy, we listened and stopped the treatment.

However, her owners listened to my advice and introduced new non-slip carpets in her home, helping her to feel more comfortable when walking around the house and to prevent further injuries.

TESTIMONIAL-
My dog Niko approaching 10 years old, was starting to slow down. Niko is a rescue and sometimes unsure of people, however Inbal was very patient with him, and built up a bond with him. Over a few sessions he started letting her work on the more uncomfortable areas, and was excited to see her. Inbal knew what time he needed and has a great affinity and empathy with dogs. Niko enjoyed his massages and seemed less stiff after them.
The dog massage is a great additional and /or alternative treatment for dogs. I would certainly book her again in the future and would recommend her and this treatment to anyone.

Bonnie is one of Candy’s puppies, she was born in my bedroom and was always Candy’s favourite puppy. She is in good health for an 11 years old Labrador, but her gait shows that she suffers some orthopaedic issues.
Working with Bonnie was not simple or straight forward as she did not really like it and has hardly ever stayed calm in the same position for long enough. Nevertheless, it was very nice to see some improvement in her condition, which was shown in a change in Bonnie’s head position and a great decrease in the frequency of head tics.

TESTIMINIAL-
Megan, my 13-year-old Olde Tyme Bulldog, has really slowed down over the past year with old age and arthritis. Before the massages, she would rarely want to come a walk and would spend most of her days lying on the sofa. Since Inbal’s massages, Megan has had a new lease of life! She wants to come for walks much more often and can even go on slightly longer walks. She is also much brighter in herself and is back to her old cheeky ways – which, unfortunately for us as her owners, involves stealing any food that she can find! Inbal is a natural with dogs, and she showed such great care whilst massaging old, stiff Megan, knowing when to push her slightly further, and when to stop. I was really thankful that Inbal gave me tips on how I could ease her pain in between massages too. I am so grateful for all she has done for Megan!

TESTIMONIAL-
Toffee, my 6-year-old Dogue de Bordeaux, was beginning to show the first signs of aging and of her hip dysplasia. She was getting slower and was much less playful. We have seen a marked change in Toffee since Inbal’s massages. She is back to her happy, bouncy self, playing ball and wrestling with us and the other dogs. I can’t believe the improvement in Toffee since she had her massages! Thank you, Inbal! Shona Warwick

THE 5 PRICIPLES OF PAIN

The signs of muscular pain listed below can be mistaken by some owners as simply signs of ageing or ‘just something they do’. The reality is, however, that muscular pain can be caused by anything from normal activities of daily living to chronic, arthritic conditions.

Many dog owners like you who have also identified pain symptoms have chosen clinical canine massage therapy as a successful, non-invasive treatment. By reducing pain and improving mobility we aim to put a spring back in your dog’s step in just one to three sessions.

Griffin is a 5 years old Labradoodle.

He suffers from a lumbosacral spondylosis (for a couple of years now) and in the last few months he was also diagnosed with Adison’s disease. Due to these conditions, Griffin’s quality of life deteriorated, he suffers chronic pain, his mobility is limited and his psychological well being was affected too.

The massage treatment brought a significant change in Griffin’s mobility, activity levels and happiness. In addition, Griffin’s owner said that the kyphosis over his back disappeared, an outcome she has never expected.

Skip is a 12 years old rescue lurcher who’s probably been through a lot before he was rescued. He has many injuries all over his body and he is nervous around unfamiliar dogs and humans. The owners were not sure about his reaction to massage therapy, but Skip loved it and enjoyed every minute of our sessions together. He is such a beautiful, gentle, loving dog and it was my pleasure working with him and especially helping him feeling better inside his weary body.

Shooshka is a 7 years old Golden Retriever

About 3-4 years ago Shooshka started to show a left pelvic limb lameness and since then, Shooshka suffers from an inconsistent limp, which improves after a few days of rest, but always comes back after a while.

Following three massage treatments the improvement in Shooshka’s gait, mood and stiffness was very obvious and she could again enjoy long walks up the hills with her owners.

Charlie is a 12 years old Labrador who has a very obvious arthritis in his elbows together with lameness, deformity and weakness in his pelvic limbs, after playing fetch with his favourite tennis balls for years.

The massage treatments helped Charlie considerably and made him much happier, active and playful again. His owners are very happy with these results, they said they could never imagine that this would be the outcome of the massage and could not believe it when Charlie opened his toys box and started playing with his toys again.

Monty is an 11 years old beautiful black Labrador Retriever who suffers from arthritis in his front paws and carpals.
He is a very gentle dog who loves people and dogs. However, since he suffers from this orthopaedic issue, he does not like the proximity of other male dogs.

As a result of three massage treatments the inflammation in Monty’s paws and carpals reduced and his mobility significantly.
