Marvellous Mia and Milo also came in for their sessions with Henry, think they loved the peace and quiet when he fell asleep!
Milo decided he quite liked the high bed and decided that was the place to be, think his long walk tired him out and was more than happy to be massaged.
Mia was her usual regal self and behaved impeccably, even changing sides when required!

Hooray Henry, he's cheeky, mischievous and utterly adorable! Hes been visiting along with Mia and Milo and his guardians felt he should have a shot.
He wasn't quite sure of this massage malarkey so got lots of breaks and time to think about what was happening, and some time to chew the chair legs🙈
But safe to say he thoroughly enjoyed his session by the end💜

How handsome is Lochie? And how chilled does he look. This lad is full on and I have to say even I was surprised when he fell asleep,holding his ball and snuggled into his humum!
He loves his agility and his trainer noticed he wasn't quite right, turns out he's hurt his coccygeal...not surprising in a spaniel whose tail never stops!

Gorgeous Daisy in for her massage, its taken us a little while to get to know each other and for Daisy to trust me enough so I can work on those sore bits. But we've reached a place where she is happy to do a little more each session.

An amazing talk tonight from The Sleep Vet , and another fantastic talk for tomorrow . Why not tune in and join this mini masterclass with your pup. Learn from the best in the business, thebone and only Nat Lenton from the Canine Massage Therapy Centre

✨Announcing another guest speaker for next week!!✨ 🐾 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.

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!

Myself and Coppola Canine Massage will be offering free muscular health checks tomorrow at Harbro Country Stores

‼️FREE EVENT‼️

What is a muscular health check I hear you ask?🤨

A muscular health check is a head-to-toe assessment of your dog’s main muscle groups. We are looking for things such as areas of overcompensation, myofascial pain, trigger points and strains.
This allows us to give owners a picture of what could be going on in their dog’s soft tissue in terms of areas of injury and/or dysfunction and from there we can provide advice on what they can do with that information going forward.

So if you would like to learn about your dogs muscular health pop in and have a chat!
