This little whirlwind is 11 year old Beau 💙 (photo is a tad blurry because he doesn't sit still for long 😆).

His owner brought him for clinical massage as they'd noticed a change to his posture - his back had quite a dip in it - and his mobility just wasn't what it used to be.

With some gentle encouragement, Beau was able to settle for massage and has just had a course of 3 treatments. The results are lovely to see - his posture has improved dramatically - his back is no longer dipped, and his owner has also commented on how much looser he is in movement. Well done Beau, I look forward to seeing you again for your maintenance treatment.

Did you know that with Clinical Massage we often see positive results in 1-3 sessions? Please get in contact if you'd like to see how Clinical Massage can help your dog.

This beautiful boy is Barney, an almost 14 year-old Labrador with generalised arthritis. Like many dogs with arthritis, Barney struggles with comfort levels and mobility. He has regular clinical massage to help manage his comfort levels and help his mobility.

He was particularly sore today, so I adapted today’s treatment to include some indirect myofascial release. Scroll through the photos to see his many faces of relaxation as the session progressed. Indirect myofascial release is a gentle and very relaxing technique that can get some powerful results that include reduction of pain, improvement in mobility and posture, and a return to more normal activities of daily living. Check the comments for a video of this snoozy boy during his treatment 💙

Well you certainly kept me busy again today with muscular health checks!

Lovely to see new faces, young and old to discuss musuclar health, and to be able to offer advice to those with no current issues on how best to maintain good muscular health.

If you missed out this time, please do get in touch, I will be running more of these events over the coming months. But for the meantime, I’m sat on the sofa, recovering with a cuppa 😆

I’ve included a photo of sleepy-eyed Sidney just because 😊

This beautiful lady is 10 year old Poppy who has osteochondrosis dissecans (OCD), affecting several of her joints. OCD is a developmental condition where cartilage separates from the underlying bone in a joint, leading to pain, and lameness. As a result of this, she also has arthritis.

Poppy is a very stoic dog - always cheery and happy, and doesn't show much when she's in pain. However, her owner had noted subtle signs that she was in discomfort. She would stretch lots when rising from rest (a sign of short, tight, uncomfortable muscles), was a bit unsettled early hours of the morning, and was just generally slowing down a bit on walks.

After 3 sessions of clinical massage, her owner reports that Poppy appears more comfortable, is more agile on walks, stretches less when she first gets up and is sleeping better, and for longer. Extra bonus for her owner as it means more lie-ins for her!!

Well done Poppy, you're just a superstar to treat 🌟

Im told it’s National Terrier day today. So there’s no better day to show you a photo of 13 year old Ned who came for his maintenance massage treatment today.

Ned was showing signs of slowing down, and just generally being a bit lacklustre.

Clinical Massage has given him a spring back in his step, he is very keen to go on his walks again, and he is able to jump onto the sofa with much greater ease.

Alongside these desirable improvements, there’s also been a return of his mischievous habits! 😂 Lovely to hear he’s back to behaving like he was in his younger years 💙
