Little Loulabelle enjoying her rabbit foot after her massage this morning 🥰
Loulabelle has recently been diagnosed with Cushings myotonia which causes rigidity of her muscles. Clinical Canine Massage Therapy helps Loulabelle by:
🐾 Loosening soft tissue
🐾 Addressing hypertonicity, restoring muscles back to their optimal function
🐾 Improving flexibility and range of motion
🐾 Providing natural pain relief through the release of endorphins
Loulabelle is such a little character and was very excited on my arrival as she knows massage = cheesy treat time 😂
Thank you for working with me today Loulabelle, it is always so lovely to see you and sister Pixie ❤️

I just love how happy and relaxed Beth looks after her massage 🥰
Beth was feeling in a wriggly mood today but she soon relaxed when the deep tissue massage started, which she is a real fan of!
Regular massage supports Beth's elbow dysplasia and osteoarthritis by releasing tight muscles and addressing muscle splinting, whilst also providing natural pain relief
It was lovely to see you Beth and I look forward to seeing you next month

This week I have been house sitting and looking after the very gorgeous Ted whilst his parents have had a mini break 🥰
I am insured to house sit and dog walk, so am always happy to help out my clients, as I know how stressful it can be leaving a dog with orthopaedic conditions at home with a sitter or in kennels
Ted asked me to show you a day in the life of his staycay 😃
Ted it has been such a pleasure looking after you and I'm looking forward to doing it all again in September ❤️

Loulabelle's mum sent me this lovely video of her having a run a couple of days after her massage ❤️
Loula has been stumbling on her forelimbs and falling over on uneven ground lately so to see her running and having the time of her life made my day 🥰
Seeing my clients being able to enjoy their lives and do what they love really does make my job the best job in the world!

What Activities of Daily Living (ADL’s) does your dog do?
Here is my boy Warrior, doing what he does best at least three times a day!
Whilst he is loving life, it is important to know that many of the ADL’s that our dogs partake in, when performed repetitively, can cause repetitive strain injury, where microtrauma to the muscle is accrued consistently over time.
This will eventually lead to muscular dysfunction and pain, resulting in our dogs not being able to enjoy life as freely as they should.
ADL’s aren’t just the ‘fun’ activities that dogs do but also include:
🐾 Sleeping in a curved plastic bed
🐾 Walking on slippery floors within the home e.g. wooden or tiled flooring
🐾 Jumping in and out of the car
🐾 Incorrect feeding height
Warrior’s zoomies, as well as his habit of pulling on the harness during walks (especially when he spots squirrels, cats or quite frankly anything small and furry!) has resulted in areas of muscular injury/dysfunction, including hypertonicity, trigger points and myofascial pain, which we are currently addressing through Clinical Canine Massage.
Now all I need to do is work out how to make him stop being such a nutter 🤣

I don't think Beth wanted her massage to end today! No matter how hard I tried, she wasn't getting up for anybody 🤣
Beth had a busy day yesterday playing with her Lab friend so unfortunately she is experiencing some lameness today
Usually Beth spends her massages wriggling around in her bed but today she fell straight to sleep and snored very loudly all the way through, so she must have really been feeling the benefit 🥰
It was lovely treating you Beth and I look forward to seeing you next month ❤️

Little Nori snored his way through his massage today 😴🥰
Today was Nori's third Clinical Canine Massage treatment and the trigger points that I found the first time I met him have now been resolved
Nori will now have monthly massages to maintain muscular health and to treat any soft tissue issues should they arise
I look forward to seeing you next month Nori ❤️

Little Pixie had her first Clinical Canine Massage yesterday and judging by her face, I think she rather enjoyed it!
Pixie loves jumping up and standing on her back legs which has caused some dysfunction in the muscles of her hindlimbs and lower spine but she was a trooper and allowed me to work on these areas so should be feeling less sore today
It was a pleasure treating you Pixie and I look forward to seeing you again next week 🥰 #caninemassage #k9massage #caninemassagetherapy #caninemassagetherapist #caninemassageguild #minipoodlesofinstagram #miniaturepoodle #surreydogs #hampshiredogs #berkshiredogs
April is National Adopt a Greyhound month!
In honour of #nationaladoptagreyhoundmonth and my love for the breed (yes, I am biased!), I am offering 𝟭𝟬% 𝗼𝗳𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 for Greyhounds, that are booked throughout April.
Anyone that has ever owned a Greyhound will understand the term “45mph couch potato”….here are my Greys Warrior, Fairy and my rainbow bridge boy Rio demonstrating what the breed loves to do best – RELAX!!
It is not uncommon for Greyhounds to carry soft tissue injuries from their racing days and these may not always be noticeable but can cause pain, affect mobility and their overall quality of life.
Clinical Canine Massage addresses soft tissue injuries/dysfunction allowing your dog to live their best pain free life, and also promotes rest and relaxation which can help if you have a nervous or anxious dog.
So why not show your Grey some love and appreciation by booking them a Clinical Canine Massage 🥰

A very happy Beth after her Clinical Canine Massage today 😍
#caninemassagetherapy #caninearthritis #canineelbowdysplasia #k9massage #surreydogs #hampshiredogs #berkshiredogs #caninerehabilitation #labradorsofinstagram
There is no greater compliment than a patient snoozing and snoring during and after their Clinical Canine Massage treatment.
Massage not only promotes relaxation but also rehabilitates soft tissue injuries such as sprains, strains and trigger points, and aids pain management for dogs with orthopaedic conditions.
This is Beth at the end of her massage this week, I just love how her snoring gets louder 🥰

Today I had the pleasure of meeting and treating the very handsome Alfie 🥰
Alfie is a senior boy and has arthritis in his hindlimbs, which has caused overcompensation issues with his muscles.
Despite being uncomfortable in places, Alfie was a true gentleman and even gave me lots of kisses at the end of his massage ❤️

Ted loves his monthly massages but I’m pretty sure he loves the post-massage treats even more!
Ted has mild elbow dysplasia which has a knock on effect to his muscles. Massage not only helps to ease the build up of muscular tension and resolve trigger points but also provides a natural relief for pain caused by the dysplasia.
It is always a pleasure to treat you Ted 🥰
