Huge congratulations to our newest cohort of Galen Myotherapy Diploma students, who last week successfully completed their practicals.

This truly international group included students from Spain, Chile, Estonia, and the UK. We are incredibly excited for their future journeys and for the many dogs' lives they will undoubtedly improve.

Good luck with your Case Studies everyone!

You may have noticed a sudden pause in our social media posts last week during the Practicals. Sadly, the wonderful Harry, pictured here apple bobbing, became unwell and passed away on Thursday at the grand age of 38.
Harry touched the lives of so many: his family, with whom he had been part of for 25 years, his many friends, and the numerous students for whom he was a wonderful horse confidante.

We send our best wishes to Julia and Bertie and Billy, the remaining equine family.
Thank you Harry, gallop free.

Next in our Tongue to Tail series: The Eyes

While we don't physically treat a dog's eyes, their appearance can reveal a great deal about their comfort level.

The good news is that as a dog's comfort improves, you'll often see a positive change in their eyes and as the saying goes “the eyes are the window to the soul".

Let’s see your dog's souls…..

Wow, we are so proud of our Galen Myotherapy students! They have treated so many dogs today and have achieved such amazing results.

Ears: A Key in Our Tongue to Tail Assessment

When your dog first meets a Galen Myotherapist, a key part of their assessment will be looking at posture and symmetry. This "Tongue to Tail" approach includes looking at the ears, to see if the left and right are symmetrical in height.

This is just one of the many postural assessments we conduct.

In the meantime, we'd love to see photos of your dog's ears! Floppy, perfectly pointed, extra large, or extra flappy – let’s see them!

Galen Myotherapy - Our Story

~ How We’re Supporting Dogs and Owners through the ongoing Corona Virus outbreak facing the UK in 2020 Updated: 1st June 2020 The ongoing quarantine restrictions that the UK faces throughout Spring and Early Summer 2020 have direct implications on face-to-face Myotherapy treatment. Whilst restrictions are beginning to be lifted, the safety of our team and clients remains paramount Throughout the crisis and beyond, we are successfully supporting owners and their dogs with our unique Distance Support Programme. This programme complies with all social distancing guidelines by empowering owners to help their own dogs. This is achieved by virtual assessment, remote communication, and sharing of knowledge around application of massage techniques unique to their own dog. Our Distance Support Programme remains the most appropriate way to support your dog at this time. Unlike some other organisations - who are simply sharing massage techniques that could do your dog harm - our expert Myotherapists will assess your dog extensively. This means advice, or techniques that we guide you to apply, are uniquely tailored to your own animal. Please note: this programme does not replace Veterinary care, if you are worried about your dog’s condition, please contact your Veterinary Surgeon. This programme also does not replace the full Galen Myotherapy treatment and programme, but we are committed to maintaining your dogs health and this programme will enable us to assist them during the COVID-19 coronavirus outbreak. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to get in contact.

All about Galen Myotherapy

Galen Myotherapy is a unique and highly specialised manual and exercise management therapy in dogs. It uses appropriate, effective and targeted massage techniques and exercise to manage chronic muscular pain, reduce inflammation and to maximise muscle function.

Galen Myotherapy is an authentic approach, using unique knowledge that has been developed by Galen’s founder Julia Robertson through her treatment of over 8,000 dogs since 2002. She was one of the first, if not the first known dedicated canine practitioners of this type in the UK.

The therapy was first conceived when Julia’s own Labrador puppy, Huffo, who aged 6 months, was recommended to be put to sleep because he was suffering from an inability to lift his head from the ground. This proved to be a relatively simple muscular problem and through Julia adapting exercises she was able to improve this condition and he lived happily until he was 17 years old! This started Julia’s ‘nightmares’ as she realised that many dogs were being put to sleep due to a painful, but manageable, muscle problem. Huffo and his neck were the foundations of Galen Myotherapy.

Julia has learned through the years of dedicated specialised experience, that trends and patterns of behaviour and physical changes occur in a dog when they are suffering with muscular pain. Based on this and her clear understanding of animals, the therapy has developed to where it is today, incorporating the unique approach to the dog and handler.

Galen Myotherapy has in part derived from massage as has physiotherapy; the difference is that physiotherapy is a specialist treatment for acute post-operative conditions whereas Galen Myotherapy is more intended for the chronic cases.

This knowledge is now proving invaluable for Veterinary Surgeons and Para-professionals that are enrolling on the Galen Myotherapy course so that they can improve their own practice.

Galen Myotherapy is also unique in its approach to how they work with their dogs they treat. Every Galen Myotherapist will give the dog choice, they will allow the dog to walk around during treatment and choose their treatment. The use of muzzles is extremely rare and all Galen Myotherapists work at ground level.

This unique knowledge is taught through the Galen Myotherapy Diploma. Julia is in demand all over to world to speak and train people so they too can start to recognise dogs in chronic pain.

Galen Myotherapy and Julia Robertson have now gained allegiance of such canine luminaries as Turid Rugaas, who invites Julia to join her to train her students so that they have the added knowledge of recognising pain in dogs – but also, adopting the same approach of giving the dogs choice!
