Breeze Canine Massage

This is Alan excited about having his massage session 😃...every time i arrive he steals a cushion off the sofa & happily plays with it, then he knows it's down to business 😊

Alan is fit & healthy & his human wants to ensure he stays that way & knows a maintenance session every few months helps him do this.

Recently Alan's been holding up a foreleg after doing his famous zoomies in the field.
Alan was found to have a strain in his shoulder muscle. Lameness is not always a problem in the leg & can more often be a shoulder or neck issue.
Even a strained muscle can be debilitating & painful 😔

One of the many benefits of your dog having regular maintenance sessions is to discover any niggling issues, have them addressed before they can become a more chronic or painful problem.

As a rescued ex-racer Alan wasn't as happy being touched or in this great shape when i first met him 2 years ago...but that story is for another post...

P.S..Oh btw Alan does have a lovely pair of ears 😁

I've been visiting Betsy for over a year.
This sweet senior lady has her own little routine when i turn up...she lies in her bed & looks out the door to her garden while she has her massage 🥰

What a great feeling when Betsy's human told me that even her neighbours comment how much better Betsy walks now 😊

Even though she's losing her sight a little, Betsy enjoys her walks so much more now as massage has greatly reduced the pain in her back & hind limbs from cruciate ligament damage.

❓🐶 Got an older dog that's slowing down & you'd love to see them enjoy their walks more❓

Happy, handsome Albie 😊 sees me for clinical massage to help maintain and improve his mobility and quality of life during his senior years.

Albie is a little unsure of new things so his doting humans put him at ease by joining him & with his fave toy on the floor throughout the session & chat quietly as he's not comfortable with silence & all the focus being on him 🥰 ....his happy face says that's dedication for you especially when your human is recovering from surgery themselves!
Big 🙌 to Mr & Mrs C 😁

I treat holistically so Albie also has a Home Care plan assessing his activities of daily living.
His wonderful humans have taken action by making small changes:
👍 placing down more floor runners
👍 adjusting his favorite activities so he can still enjoy them
👍 orthopaedic bedding ensuring he's as comfortable as possible

Orthopaedic conditions such as arthritis and cruciate ligament damage such as Albie has, can put a dog’s body under additional strain, resulting in discomfort and pain.
💖 Massage plays an important role in helping to provide relief and reduce chronic pain.

Some dogs I meet just melt your heart that little bit more...😍

Hearing Charlie didn't have the best start in life, spending his first 5 years in a puppy farm cage....but just look at him now just a few months later! 😊

His very special human vowing to make up for his lost time & now wanting the very best for him by booking some massage to resolve the tension in his back & trigger points in his shoulder....i think Charlie's face says it all & now knows how much he is loved 😊
So happy they found each other....

When i first met this sweet senior lady Betsy, she walked slowly, her back was stiff and there was instability in her knee joints due to cruciate ligament issues.

When a joint is unstable or painful the muscles and ligaments around it will work harder and/or differently to move the bones. As Betsy adjusted the way she moved to try and minimise the discomfort in her knee joints, this put strain on her hips & hind leg muscles, & in the lumbar area of her back resulting in pain from tense overworked muscles.

Betsy wouldn't allow me to touch her left hind leg during the first couple of sessions, but after we had reduced the discomfort in her lumbar back muscles, she was happier for me to slowly address her leg muscles to further support her weakest knee.

Betsy now sees me for maintenance sessions which allow her to be more active and enjoy life in her senior years.

Lovely feedback from Betsy’s guardian 😊…
🐾 After 1st massage: “Betsy seems more sprightly & walking with more purpose”

🐾 After 2nd session: “I can’t believe she chased a squirrel the other day!

🐾 After 3rd: “Betsy is an ‘old lady’ with a new lease of life. Thank you for handling her very sympathetically, and with a kindly gentle approach”

⭐ Results you can see & your dog can feel in just 1 to 3 sessions ⭐

This adorable elderly fella is Teazel 🥰

Teazel's human said he doesn't walk very far, tires quickly & had spinal surgery a few years ago for IVDD (InterVertebral Disc Disease).

My assessment revealed Teazel had a lot of discomfort along his back, his left Gluteal & Iliocostalis lumbar muscles were sore & hypertonic & there was myofascial pain seen as lots of skin twitches down left side of his body.
Added to the myofascial pain in his little aching leg muscles, no surprise this little gent didn't venture far on his walks.

Teazel didn't settle well on my first visit as i normally work on the floor, but we found he was a very relaxed chap being treated on the sofa. Not so comfortable for me😅 but finding the best solution & respecting your dog & gaining their trust is paramount 😊

After 3 treatment sessions, most of the skin twitching has resolved, and his back & legs are feeling comfortable...resulting in Teazel walking further and longer 🐾🐾🐾

If your dog is slowing down before their time, tires quickly on walks or has IVDD, contact me & find out how clinical canine massage may help.

This handsome elderly fella is Cody 🥰
A nasty encounter with some barbed wire 😕 12 months ago resulted in several surgeries & a lot of scar tissue.
After a few months his humans noticed hard bulging (known as hypertonic) muscles had developed in the lumbar area of his back, and he rarely lay on his right side.
Watching Cody walk it was noted his right foreleg was swinging out.
This is how Cody's body overcompensated due to the pain from the injury & tightness of inflexible scar tissue. Rightly so he was quite sensitive to me touching area of his scar.

After 4 massage sessions Cody's hypertonic muscles have softened and reduced, his back is more comfortable, foreleg no longer swings out. And bless him, he allowed me to help mobilise some of his scar tissue too 🥰 & now he is happy to lay on his right side.
