For muscle and joint problems, this strong manipulative type of massage brings great results and relief while helping to resolve many sub-clinical, everyday mobility issues you may see with your dog. It is also great post operation for conditions such as Crucuiate Ligament or Luxating Patella. This unique type of massage for dogs relies on extensive knowledge of Canine Anatomy & Physiology, the mo

vement of tissue over tissue, connective tissue release and the remobilisation of muscle to help break down scar tissue and promote better Range of Motion in the dogs joints,

The 4 types of massage covered are Swedish, Deep Tissue, Sports and Myofascial release. Maintenance massages are provided for any dog to enable me to spot any issues before they become a problem. A young, fit, active dog can benefit from massage 2-3 times a year.

Patrick Swayze once said, "They told me my house smelled like dogs, and I asked them, do you know what a dog smells like?" It smells like gratitude, loyalty, nobility, affection, pure unconditional love. And in spite of all they've been through, they smell no resentment. So blessed that my house smells like dogs. "

Don’t adjust your calendar, I’m at the vets today instead of Friday.
I’ve got the following wonderful dogs to see:

Golden Retriever age 7
Golden Retriever X Border Collie age nearly 13
Standard Wirehaired Dachshund age 15
Norfolk Terrier X Yorkshire Terrier age 13
Cavalier King Charles Spaniel age 14
Boston Terrier age 6.

All have different mobility issues ranging from spinal issues, Arthritis, slowing down on walks and unable to do the Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) they used to be able to do. This can include no longer being able to jump on and off the sofa, jump into and out of the car, struggling or unable to climb stairs, reluctant to play, reluctant to be groomed, petted or examined and behaviour changes.
There are 5 Principles of Pain and these are GAIT, POSTURE, ADLs, PERFORMANCE and BEHAVIOUR.
When assessing a dog I take all of these into consideration.
GAIT - has the owner reported changes to the way their dog moves? Are they slowing down on walks, lame/Limping, low head carriage, abnormal tail carriage etc.
POSTURE - the way a dog holds themselves. Have they got a top even line, are they weight bearing evenly, are there any coat changes, which could indicate a soft tissue injury?
ADLs - as mentioned above struggling to do things they used to find easy to do.
PERFORMANCE - sporting dogs not performing as well or reluctant to perform in sports such as canicross, fly ball, agility, obedience, beating, retrieving etc.
BEHAVIOUR - when your dog doesn’t seem quite right, sad, reluctant to play, withdrawn, grumpy with dogs when there wasn’t an issue before etc….

All of these issues I can help with including treating dogs with Orthopaedic conditions such as Elbow/hip dysplasia
Spondylosis
Arthritis
IVDD
CDRM
Cruciate Sprains
Luxating Patella
To name but a few.

Results in 1-3 treatments 🐶♥️

With Canine Massage Therapy Centre – I just got recognised as one of their top fans! 🎉

Well I think I definitely am one of their top fans as I trained with them, work with them as a Tutor and attend regular CPD with them!

The course of my life changed in 2010 when I started the 2 year course to become a Clinical Canine Massage Therapist and I’m so grateful to all the support I had and continue to get from Canine Massage Therapy Centre.

I cannot recommend this enough!! Take a look 👀

Join Us This January for a 4-Week Online Canine Massage Course!

Ready to strengthen your bond with your dog while learning skills that will truly make a difference to their well-being? Our friendly, interactive online course kicks off in January, and we’d love for you to join us!

This isn’t just about massage—it’s about connection. You’ll learn a variety of easy-to-follow techniques, tailored to meet your dog’s unique needs. Along the way, I’ll guide you to understand where you might be going wrong and how to get it just right, ensuring your dog gets the tailored care they deserve.

Spoiler Alert: Your dog doesn’t have to lie down to benefit from massage! Dogs are clever communicators—they’ll show you the areas they need help with (and sometimes the ones they’re not quite ready to share). I'll teach you how to read these cues and work with your dog’s body language to provide a gentle, effective, and empowering therapy.

I bring nearly 20 years of experience in the canine massage industry, as a pioneer, course developer, and founder of the world’s largest canine massage association. Thousands of dog lovers worldwide have already benefited from my courses and teachings—and now it’s your turn!

Joining me (and my trusty sidekick, Lyra, my 8-year-old Collie X Terrier) means you’ll get so much more than a few massage techniques. This course will deepen your understanding, strengthen your bond, and give you the tools to care for your dog in ways you never thought possible.

✨ Spaces are limited, so book today! It also makes a thoughtful, unique gift for the dog lover in your life.

Let’s make January a month of connection, learning, and love—one paw at a time. 💛

Home made ice lolly for Chops. I mixed a small tin of sardines in tomato sauce with filtered water and put it into the freezer for a few hours. The fan is on in his room too and we walked early this morning before it got too hot. What do you do to keep your dogs cool in this weather?

Paws in the Pub is nearly upon us!! Looking forward to seeing you there on Saturday at The Royal Exchange pub in Hartpury, Gloucester, with your gorgeous dogs! All proceeds going to Forever Hounds Trust 🐾♥️🐾♥️

Back in Marlborough today to see some wonderful dogs. If you live nearer to Marlborough than my clinic in Hartpury, Gloucester, I’m happy to see you in Marlborough instead just get in touch to book! If your dog has never experienced a Clinical Canine Massage Therapy treatment and you are wondering what benefits there are then feel free to message me for more information. I treat dogs who are active as well as elderly dogs starting to slow down, getting stiff, unable to do their activities of daily living that they used to do with ease. I treat dogs with orthopaedic conditions like Arthritis, hip/elbow dysplasia, Spondylosis. Dogs with cruciate ligament sprains whether they are mild sprains or post operation. Dogs with Luxating Patella, muscular strains, trigger points and myofascial pain. I also treat dogs with no perceived issues for maintenance. A fit and active dog can benefit from a massage 2-3 times a year to enable me to spot and treat any issues before they become a problem. My dog, Chops, is going to be 12 this year and is still very active and can still outrun some dogs half his age. I put this down partly to him having massage once every 4-6 weeks. My job is very physically demanding as I’m on the floor treating dogs so I have a massage once a month to keep my chronic back issues from flaring up. Never underestimate the power of touch (massage). This is a little video of my dog, Chops, taken at the end of January. . . . #caninemassage #dogs #arthritis #therapy

Thank you @The Pet Friendly cleaning Co for steam cleaning my clinic. Working with dogs in here I wanted someone who wouldn’t use anything with chemicals or highly scented. Lucy was fabulous and used all natural ingredients (white vinegar) to clean and her steamer. So pleased with the results 🙏🐾♥️
