Curley Canine Therapy

Repetitive and unnatural movements cause our dogs issues over time. This can include asking your dog to sit every time you come to a road, or throwing a ball for them over & over again. Even going up & down stairs - compare the size of each stair to the length of their legs. Imagine us doing that, climbing stairs that are as much as twice the length of our legs! Jumping in & out of the back of a car. Think - is your dog designed to do that? Would they do these movements if they were wild?
I've attached an interesting Blog about "sitting".

"He's getting on and it's just a bit of arthritis".
Osteoarthritis is progressive, PAINFUL and not curable. How much pain depends on how advanced it is, whether he's over weight, what his exercise regime is and certain aspects of his home life. BUT there are so many things you can do to help him live with it WITHOUT pain.
Contact me for help and advice to give your dog the very best life he can have with this disease. Carole x

🦷 Missing that fresh smile due to bad smelling breath? It isn’t always an ‘ooh its cos they’re old thing! 🦷

🩺 Just like us, cats and dogs can experience dental issues that require attention.
Take a moment to assess your pet's breath. If it's less than pleasant, it could be a red flag for dental issues such as gum disease, plaque buildup, or tooth decay. 🩺

Did you know that a dog uses their tongue for balance?

The tongue is suspended from the hyoid apparatus and if this is damaged, it can affect your dog's balance and also cause neck pain.

Something as seemingly insignificant as face planting or running into an object can lead to this type of injury,

Does this look comfy?! Not to us, but he finds support in this position because his neck is over worked from compensating for other parts of his body. Does your dog lay or sleep in odd positions and you've often wondered why?

Did you know that "walking" your dog is one of the most underestimated rehabilitation exercises? I don't mean a trot or a jog, I mean a "four time" movement where each leg touches & pushes off from the ground independently. It encourages enhanced muscular stability & strength through low impact movement.

Galen Myotherapy - what is it? It's specialist canine massage and exercise rehabilitation. It's the whole dog, not just the lame leg. All their parts are connected. It's Homeostasis - maintaining a stable internal environment despite changes in external conditions. Choice is key. Dogs aren't designed to live in our world of stairs, cars, balls, sofas, collars. Let's help them cope.
