🐾 Did you know your dog’s fascia plays a huge role in their health and comfort? 🐾

Fascia is a web-like connective tissue that surrounds muscles, bones, and organs—keeping everything supported and working smoothly. When fascia gets tight or restricted (from injury, arthritis, or simply aging), it can cause:
✨ Pain and stiffness
✨ Reduced mobility
✨ Compensatory strain in other parts of the body

💆‍♀️ This is where canine massage can make a big difference!
Massage helps:
✔ Release fascial restrictions
✔ Improve circulation and flexibility
✔ Support better posture and movement
✔ Reduce discomfort and stress

Clinical Canine Massage uses
🌟 Direct and Indirect Myofascial releases
blended with
🌟Swedish, Deep Tissue and Sports Massage

✨ Meet beautiful Bella ✨

She’s just completed her 3 treatment sessions for Hip Dysplasia and Spondylosis to help ease stiffness, reduce tenderness, and keep her mobile. 🐾

Bella can be a bit of a wriggler who likes to move around, but her owners were pleasantly surprised at how well she settled into her sessions. Best of all, they’ve noticed how much brighter and happier she seems in herself since starting treatment. 💛

As a Clinical Canine Massage Therapist, I work with your dog – not on your dog – building trust and tailoring every session to their unique needs.

📩 If you think your dog could benefit from canine massage therapy, send me a message – I’d love to chat about how I could help. I offer a mobile service so all treatments are held in the comfort of your own home 🏡

Dogs and humans share nearly identical musculoskeletal systems? 🐾🦴

Both species have the same major bones — spine, pelvis, scapula, humerus, femur, ribs — arranged for different movement patterns, but built on the same blueprint. Even more fascinating, we share the same muscle groups: quadriceps, hamstrings, biceps, triceps, deltoids, gluteals, and many others. These muscles function in comparable ways to stabilize joints, support posture, and generate movement.

This is why canine massage is so effective. Techniques that improve blood flow, reduce fascial restrictions, release trigger points, and enhance flexibility in humans also apply to dogs. The science is simple: same muscles, same benefits.

Massage isn’t just comfort — it’s anatomy-based therapy for better mobility, faster recovery, and a healthier, happier dog.

We offer a mobile service, so treatments take place in the comfort of your dog’s own home

🐾 Why Your Dog Deserves Clinical Canine Massage 🐾

Meet Sandy – an 11-year-old Labrador who’s just finished her 3rd session with me. 💛

Before massage, walks were harder, her gait was stiff, and playtime with her doggy friends had slowed down. Now? She’s walking easier, her movement is smoother, and she’s even back to playing again.

That’s the power of Clinical Canine Massage.
✅ Improves mobility & gait
✅ Relieves stiffness & discomfort
✅ Relieves Pain, naturally
✅ Supports recovery from injury
✅ Boosts energy & willingness to play

And it’s not just the dogs who love it – owners get guidance too, so you can continue helping your dog at home.

If your dog is slowing down, recovering from an injury, or just not moving like they used to, massage could make all the difference.

🐾 Easing Pain, Restoring Joy 🐾

As dogs age, stiffness, sore joints, and reduced mobility can quietly steal away their comfort.
But pain doesn’t have to be part of getting older. 💛

Clinical Canine Massage is a gentle, hands-on therapy that:
✅ Reduces muscle tension & stiffness
✅ Improves circulation for natural healing
✅ Relieves discomfort from arthritis & injury
✅ Helps dogs move more freely – and happily!
✅ Supports better posture & balance
✅ Boosts mood by reducing stress & anxiety
✅ Encourages deeper, more restful sleep
✅ Enhances overall quality of life in senior years

We’ve seen senior dogs go from struggling to stand… to trotting, playing, and enjoying life again. It’s not magic – it’s targeted, therapeutic touch.

If your older dog seems slower, reluctant to walk, or not their usual self, massage could help ease their pain and give them back the joy they deserve.

All sessions are tailored to your dog’s needs and held in the comfort of your own home.

Is your dog nervous, anxious or depressed? 😟 Clinical canine massage could be the calming solution they need. Here's the science behind it:

1. Influences the Nervous System:

Massage activates the parasympathetic nervous system (the “rest and digest” system), which helps slow the heart rate and breathing, counteracting the anxiety-driven “fight or flight” response. 🧘‍♀️

When pressure is applied during massage, mechanoreceptors (touch-sensitive nerve endings) send signals to the central nervous system, triggering the release of hormones that promote relaxation. 🌿

2. Hormonal Changes:

Massage encourages the release of endorphins, the body’s natural "feel-good" chemicals, which create a sense of calm and well-being. 😌

It lowers cortisol, the stress hormone, helping to reduce anxiety and its negative effects.

The therapy can influence other hormones like oxytocin, serotonin, and dopamine—promoting emotional balance and a happier dog! 🐾

3. Sensory Input and Grounding:

For anxious dogs, massage helps shift focus to the physical sensations of touch, helping them feel more grounded and less overwhelmed by their environment. 🖐️

By providing a steady, predictable sensory experience, massage can help calm dogs who are easily overstimulated. 🐕

4. Behavioral Changes:

As stress levels drop, you'll notice less pacing, barking, and trembling, which are common signs of anxiety in dogs. 🐾

The release of endorphins and overall relaxation can boost your dog's mood, leading to a calmer, happier pup! 😄

5. Other Benefits:

Massage also reduces pain and inflammation, which can sometimes be the root cause of anxiety. 🩹

Clinical canine massage is a wonderful, non-invasive way to help your anxious dog feel calm and comfortable. It’s not just about relaxation—it's about healing and emotional balance. ❤️🐕

🐾 Is Your Dog Showing Signs of Pain or Stiffness? 🐾

If you've noticed changes in your dog's mobility or behaviour, it might be more than just ageing. The 5 Principles of Pain is a simple tool that can help you identify signs of muscular pain — often overlooked or mistaken for normal behaviour.

Muscle pain can stem from daily wear and tear or chronic conditions like arthritis. Use the table to track symptoms and talk to your vet about whether clinical canine massage therapy could support your dog’s recovery, wellness, or pain management.

✅ Natural pain reliever
✅ Reduces inflammation
✅ Improves mobility
✅ Reduces stiffness
✅ Many dogs feel better in just 1–3 sessions


📌 Always consult your vet — massage therapists don’t diagnose, but work closely within vet-led care.
