If you’re thinking about getting a dog or you are already the proud owner of a furry four-legged friend, you may be forgiven for thinking that laying tiled,laminate, or wooden flooring is the best way to keep your home clean and tidy. Let’s face it, we don’t want our pooches traipsing a whole ...

🗣 Dogs are communicating with us all the time..all we need to do is listen via observation and reflection. Sometimes their language is undeniable and clear, other times it can be subtle and quiet. But all is 'behaviour'.

🧩 Pain can play a silent role in shaping a dogs behaviour, particularly if the behaviour change is sudden or unusual. It may be the missing piece of the puzzle.

😩 Muscular & Myofascial Pain is not just a physical sensation, it has a significant psychological component, both of which can lead to behavioural issues, making a dog feel vulnerable, anxious, or irritable.

The infographics below show behaviours that have been associated with muscular pain.

🫂 The addage ' as above, so below' is also relevant to addressing musculoskeletal dis-ease. For instance, if a dog has lower back issues, the abdominal area will more than likely need attention too, & vice versa.

One of my courses this year was learning the skill of canine ventral release work (the under part of the dog), delivered by Natalie Lenton of the Canine Massage Therapy Centre 🐩.

Not only does this address muscular & fascial issues in these areas, it works to release the diaphragm, intestine, and other related internal organs. I have since used these therapy skills with clients to great affect 💫.

⛓️When working with a dog, a whole-body approach should be taken to achieve maximum results.

🐾It's been a very busy summer with my wonderful canine clients, attending dog events, advancing my massage skills, & collaborating with colleagues in behind-the-scene's work on something truly special...🐶

I'm thrilled to share with you that this October marks the launch of Canine Musclular Health Awareness Month driven by the Canine Massage Guild - a pioneering initiative dedicated to highlighting the importance of muscular health in dogs, an often overlooked or misunderstood but essential aspect that directly impacts their quality of life ❤️

From competition to every day wellness, muscular health plays a vital role in a dogs performance, comfort and mobility - its time we give it the attention it deserves.

This campaign isn't just about what I do, its an integrative approach including other canine therapists, behaviourists, groomers, vets and other professionals who all play a vital role in supporting the muscular wellbeing of our dogs whether its performance, recovery, aging, or every day comfort - muscular health matters more than many realise.

We'll be sharing tips, insights, and free resources throughout October to help raise awareness across the canine community via the 'Canine Muscular Health Awareness' page, along with a dedicated website (caninemuscularhealth.org), where owners can access free resources, webinars, and muscle health checks to help their dogs move more freely and live happier, healthier lives 🐕🧡
