Is your dog looking a bit stiff or struggling with everyday tasks like climbing the stairs or reluctant to jump in, or out of, the car? Are you seeing 'twitchy skin' when you touch or groom your dog? Do you have a sport dog you'd like to keep in the best possible condition or is there a performance issue such as lack of enthusiasm, turning wider in one direction, knocking poles or missing weave en

tries? Been diagnosed with an orthopedic issue, like elbow/hip dysplasia, arthritis or slipping patella? Been diagnosed with a neurological condition like CDRM? Is your dog just not quite right and nobody can seem to point to why? Clinical Canine Massage can help! Clinical Canine Massage is a science based therapy which has undergone clinical trials by Wi******er University and published in Vet Record, which found significant reduction in pain severity after canine massage. I'm a member of the Canine Massage Guild and use 4 types of massage Swedish, Deep Tissue, Myofascial release and Sports massage and have trained extensively in canine anatomy and physiology. Clinical canine massage involves muscle tissue manipulation and fascial release techniques to rehabilitate injured soft tissues. Treatment helps to speed up and improve healing. We treat the whole body rather than just the area of disfunction, this helps address areas of overcompensation and restriction resulting in better movement patterns and long lasting results. We usually require 1-3 sessions to produce results that you can see and your dog can feel. People often worry their dog will be too wriggly or anxious for massage but we always adapt treatment to work with the dog and still produce measurable results, contact me to discuss if I can help. I offer treatments in my home in South Glos and home visits covering Bath, Bristol, Chippenham and South Glos and surrounding areas.

🐾 Did You Know? Hind Limb Issues Can Lead to Shoulder Pain! 🐾

If your dog has a hind limb condition—like hip dysplasia, cruciate ligament injury, or lumbosacral disease—you might notice them getting sore in their shoulders, neck, or front legs. But why does this happen?

When a dog’s back legs are painful or weak, they naturally shift more weight forward. This means their shoulders and forelimbs have to work extra hard, leading to tired, overworked muscles and even more discomfort.

✨ Key takeaway: Supporting your dog’s whole body—especially when they have an orthopaedic issue—can help prevent secondary muscle pain and keep them moving comfortably.

REMINDER!!! TONIGHT @ 7pm FREE MASTERCLASS WITH NATALIE LENTON - Link at the bottom of this post. No registration needed just turn up!✨✨

🐾 Online Mini Massage Masterclass – Live with Natalie Lenton
Join canine. massage expert Natalie Lenton on
Wednesday 22nd October at 7pm (UK) for a 75-minute interactive Zoom workshop where you’ll learn how to gently connect with your dog through safe, soothing massage techniques. ALSO learn why one of these foundational techniques is taught incorrectly in the world of professional massage and animal therapy (seriously) and how to avoid charlatans when it comes to choosing a massage therapist for your dog.

In this relaxed, hands-on session, Natalie will guide you step-by-step through three foundational techniques designed to help your dog unwind while helping you understand their body, assess for areas of tension, and deepen your bond.

As she demonstrates with her own dogs you will see the various biomechanical positions the dogs present, so that you will have options to try out and how to work WITH your dog rather than ON your dog. They don't need to lie down, just be present with you and you with them.

You’ll work with your own dog in real time as she demonstrates the techniques and discusses their physiological and psychological benefits while encouraging you and your dog to join in. She shares insights from over 20 years in canine massage therapy, and shows you how mindful touch can improve awareness, trust, and relaxation.

Quite often these foundational techniques are taught incorrectly but with Natalie you can be assured to get it right first, time every time!

We look forward to seeing you and your dog there!
