Muscles & More

Over 15 years hands on experience working with dogs. Canine Myofunctional Therapy (CMT) is muscle therapy specifically for dogs.

Professional muscle and movement therapy for puppies, working, performance and senior dogs, improving mobility, recovery, comfort and supporting arthritic and age related change. Muscles & More offers Canine Myofunctional Therapy to all dogs, helping to improve performance, range of motion, pain and discomfort associated with aging and arthritic changes and assists in the total well being of the dog. CMT helps to improve performance, increase range of motion and mobility of the dog. Janine Fraser uses specialized techniques to utilize primarily through the use of pressure from the hands. By directly treating the soft tissue muscles and indirectly the deeper muscles the whole dog benefits from this type of treatment. CMT causes muscles to fill with rich oxygenated blood flow and increase circulation; which hastens the elimination of wastes and toxic build-up. The techniques applied also affect and support the circulatory, lymphatic, vascular, respiratory, digestive, urinary, nervous, endocrine, and muscular systems. Janine has seen many wonderful results and knows CMT promotes and restores biomechanical functioning and range of motion. With the alleviation of muscle tension, soreness, stress and spasms from fatigued muscles, this can naturally increase efficiency. What does this mean for your dog? Whatever the dogs needs are: working dogs, show dogs, hunting or just needing all round better health for our ‘best mate’ and companion then Janine Fraser will help you achieve this. With a down to earth, straight forward language and a hands on approach ‘Great things can happen’. Call today to talk about how Janine Fraser can make a difference.

💚 𝐋𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞 𝐖𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐥𝐨𝐰’𝐬 𝐅𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐒𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 🐾
⠀
Today was all about 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐬𝐭.
⠀
Little Winslow had his 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐦𝐲𝐨𝐟𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐲 𝐬𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧. No injury, no problem. Just a happy pup learning that a new environment and 𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐥𝐞 𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐬𝐚𝐟𝐞.
⠀
𝐓𝐨𝐮𝐜𝐡 𝐛𝐲 𝐚 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐫 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐛𝐞 𝐚 𝐛𝐞𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐮𝐥 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠. It can build confidence, create calm, and shape how a dog feels about the world around them.
⠀
From puppyhood, these experiences matter. They help build 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝐯𝐞𝐭 𝐯𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐬, 𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠. They show puppies they do not need something wrong to 𝐬𝐥𝐨𝐰 𝐝𝐨𝐰𝐧, 𝐛𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐥 𝐬𝐚𝐟𝐞.
⠀
𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐭 𝐛𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐬.
Calm.
Trust.
𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞.

💚 𝗠𝘂𝗿𝗽𝗵𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝘂𝗴𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗿’𝘀 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 🐾
⠀
When Murphy came in, he had lower back spasms and a quirky leg kick 🦵
His posture was tucked under, leaning weight into his hips
⠀
✨ 𝗦𝘂𝗯𝘁𝗹𝗲 𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻𝘀 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿
Subtle signs like posture or long nails can give us clues about what is affecting movement
⠀
By releasing tension in the surrounding muscle groups, influencing his iliopsoas and pelvic region, we helped him stand balanced
⠀
🌟 𝗔𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻
Murphy stood tall, weight forward through his shoulders, no longer tucked under! 🎯
⠀
If your dog has quirky habits, there is often something we can improve! 🐶

⠀
Meet Lucky… our resident Chocolate Allsort.
⠀
Lucky comes to Muscles & More to help manage some rear end issues and support her mobility so she can keep moving comfortably through life.
⠀
Regular maintenance sessions allow us to work through areas of tension and restriction so we can improve her function, movement and overall comfort between visits.
⠀
And Lucky absolutely melts into the table when it’s her turn.
⠀
Just look at her here… completely relaxed, soaking up the work.
⠀
But the funny part happens after the session.
⠀
Once she hops off the table and everything is moving a little freer, Lucky suddenly remembers she’s feeling pretty good about herself.
⠀
Let’s just say the cheeky Chocolate Allsort appears, and she can be very enthusiastic about the other dogs around her.
⠀
It’s always a pleasure working with this beautiful girl and seeing the difference regular bodywork can make.

💚🐾 𝐇𝐎𝐋𝐋𝐘: 𝐅𝐑𝐎𝐌 𝐀𝐍𝐗𝐈𝐄𝐓𝐘 𝐓𝐎 𝐈𝐍𝐃𝐄𝐏𝐄𝐍𝐃𝐄𝐍𝐂𝐄 🐾💚
⠀
When Holly first came with her dad, she was so focused on him that she could barely engage with me. She was anxious about everything, especially her nails.
⠀
We gently decided over a few sessions to try an appointment without dad in the clinic. It felt like a big step. He was understandably reluctant, but willing to give her the opportunity.
⠀
That space changed everything.
⠀
Holly began to breathe. To think. To process. To trust.
⠀
Now she walks into the clinic on her own. She hops up onto the table without a lead. She lays down ready for her therapy and her nail trim. Calm. Confident. Trusting.
⠀
It is one of the most beautiful things to witness.
⠀
We naturally want to protect our dogs. That is love.
But sometimes protection can accidentally limit growth.
⠀
Give them the opportunity to become resilient.
Give them space to build independence.
Give them the chance to realise they are safe.
⠀
Their growth will amaze you if given the opportunity.
⠀
And find your village.
Find the people who guide you.
Educate you.
Support you and your dog.
Believe in their potential.
⠀
It takes a village.
⠀
Never give up on your dog. 💚🐾

⠀
Look at the pastern angle
(the lower part of the leg just above the foot).
⠀
This is what balanced load looks like.
Weight through the pads.
Toes grounded.
Shoulders free.
⠀
Nail length is not cosmetic.
It influences posture, weight distribution and how a dog moves through their entire body.
⠀
Long nails quietly shift load back.
They change how the toes meet the ground.
Compensation begins over time.
⠀
Here’s something honest.
In my early days, I didn’t fully understand nail mechanics either.
Once I learned better, I did better.
⠀
Nail care is part of responsible ownership.
It’s a skill.
And like any skill, it improves with education and calm, consistent practice.
⠀
I don’t offer quick stand alone nail trims.
That isn’t my role.
⠀
What I do love is teaching.
⠀
Teaching you:
⠀
• Why nail length matters
• How to trim safely
• How to gradually encourage the quick to recede
• How to build cooperative care
• How to undo poor handling habits
⠀
If you’d like to understand more about the mechanics behind nail length and movement, there’s a fantastic article that explains it clearly.
⠀

⠀
If after reading you’d like guidance, book a session and we’ll go through it properly.
Education builds confidence.
Confidence builds trust.

⠀
Who says water rescue is just for the Newfies?
⠀
Traditionally, this work has belonged to the giants of the dog world.
Overseas, powerful Newfoundlands often around 65kg are trained for real rescue scenarios.
⠀
𝐁𝐢𝐠 𝐝𝐨𝐠𝐬. 𝐈𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐭𝐡. 𝐁𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐣𝐨𝐛.
⠀
And then there’s Tucker Jane.
⠀
𝐓𝐰𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐲 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐤𝐢𝐥𝐨𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐩𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐊𝐞𝐥𝐩𝐢𝐞 𝐠𝐫𝐢𝐭. 🦁💦
⠀
💪 𝐒𝐢𝐳𝐞 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐝𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭.
⠀
Tucker trains in structured mock rescue scenarios. She is sent from the beach to a pretend casualty in the water. The person holds her life vest. She turns. She sets herself. And she powers them back to shore.
⠀
𝐍𝐨 𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐜.
𝐍𝐨 𝐡𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧.
𝐉𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐭𝐡, 𝐜𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐨𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐢𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭.
⠀
She launches hard off the sand.
She drives through the water.
She tows with purpose.
⠀
𝐀𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐡𝐞 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐢𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝐚 𝐰𝐞𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐜𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐬 𝐰𝐞𝐥𝐥 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐰𝐧.
⠀
Water rescue may be traditionally Newfoundland territory.
But my Kelpies have quietly proven they belong in the conversation.
⠀
Crikey.
Dooley.
Midge.
Now Tucker.
⠀
𝐀𝐥𝐥 𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝟐𝟕𝐤𝐠.
𝐀𝐥𝐥 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐢𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐝𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐝 𝐛𝐲 𝐬𝐢𝐳𝐞.
⠀
Tucker does it with unmistakable Kelpie fire. Enthusiastic. Powerful. Completely devoted to the work.
⠀
Antinol supports her body so she can keep doing what she loves.
Proud to be an Antinol Australia Athlete. 💚
⠀
𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐣𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐬.
𝐒𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲.
𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐠𝐨 𝐚𝐠𝐚𝐢𝐧.

Because passion comes in all sizes. 🌊🐕

𝐌𝐈𝐋𝐎 💚🐾
⠀
Milo came in with left front lameness.
⠀
When he’s uncomfortable he lifts that little paw and just freezes.
After resting he gets up and there’s a limp.
⠀
Nothing obvious had shown up.
⠀
Pain doesn’t always sit exactly where you see the limp.
Dogs compensate.
They tighten.
They shift weight.
⠀
So I went over Milo head to toe.
Not just the leg he was lifting.
⠀
Since his session his mum messaged me:
⠀
“Since Milo left you he has been so frisky and running around like a pup again. These two haven’t played like this for a long time!”
⠀
𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭.
𝐀 𝐛𝐨𝐝𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐥𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫.
𝐀 𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞 𝐝𝐨𝐠 𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐞𝐤𝐲.

𝐑𝐄𝐁𝐄𝐋 & 𝐒𝐂𝐎𝐔𝐓 💚🐾

Two Aussie Shepherds who have been part of my world and coming to me for a long time now.
⠀
Rebel lives with hip dysplasia.
⠀
My goal is to support her HD and keep her comfortable and functional for the long term.
⠀
My role is to reduce muscular tightness and help manage compensation patterns that develop around unstable joints.
⠀
I also maintain nails and slippers for both girls.
Because foot balance affects everything up the chain.
⠀
They spend time in the clinic with me, then we head out for a run at the lake foreshore and a swim before I take them home again.
⠀
They’re a bit like my two extra girls.
⠀
Comfortable movement.
Supported structure.
Dogs that can enjoy their life.
⠀

𝐃𝐨𝐠𝐬’ 𝐁𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐭 𝐈𝐧 𝐅𝐥𝐲 𝐒𝐰𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫
⠀
Ever noticed your dog’s coat ripple when a fly lands?
⠀
That subtle twitch you can see on Tucker and Midge isn’t random.
⠀
It’s the 𝐜𝐮𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐞𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐢 𝐦𝐮𝐬𝐜𝐥𝐞. A thin sheet of muscle that sits just under the skin along the sides of the body.
⠀
When the skin is stimulated, this muscle contracts reflexively. The result is a quick flick of the coat that helps dislodge flies and irritants without the dog even turning its head.
⠀
No scratching.
No twisting.
Just efficient design.
⠀
Clinically, this reflex is more than a fly swatter.
⠀
We assess the cutaneous trunci response as part of a 𝐧𝐞𝐮𝐫𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐞𝐱𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 because it reflects sensory input and spinal cord function through the thoracolumbar region.
⠀
So that little ripple along their sides?
⠀
It’s protection.
It’s reflex.
It’s healthy nerve communication.
⠀
Nature doesn’t miss much.
⠀

𝐀𝐝𝐝𝐢𝐞 💛🐾
From whirlwind energy to calm confidence! Addie the Golden Retriever has come such an incredible way. She used to be the excitable wild child, and now she blows her mum away! When she hops off lead, she trots right through the Muscles & More door onto the table and lies down, no prompting needed! It’s beautiful to watch, and her mum’s pride says it all. Addie, you’re an absolute star! 🌟
