Jen Moxham is a registered Galen Canine Myotherapist specialiasing in canine massage, biomechanics and rehabilitation. Jen is experienced in the identification, assessment and treatment of musculoskeletal conditions and the associated compensatory issues that can arise from these conditions. She has a particular interest in treating sporting and working dogs as well as arthritic dogs of all ages.

She is passionate about taking a positive and proactive approach to managing chronic pain and providing the best support for you and your dog by working closely with your vet and other canine therapists as part of a multi modal team to help your dog live a happier, healthier life for longer. What is Myotherapy? Myotherapy is more than just massage. Myotherapy includes a full postural assessment of your dog, targeted massage techniques together with exercise management to enhance mobility and optimize muscle function. How can it help your dog? Myotherapy can be extremely effective for treating dogs with chronic muscular pain to promote recovery and wellbeing. For many conditions such as:
Lameness
Repetitive strain injuries
Behavioural issues (these can often stem from a dog being in discomfort)
Compensatory muscle loading issues
Osteoarthritis
Sub-luxating patella
Myotherapy can also be very effective for helping to maintain the musculoskeletal health of working or competing dogs

Chronic pain is complex.

It is not always linked to a single injury or condition and can be influenced by factors such as compensation patterns, muscular tension, previous injuries, and mobility changes.

Dogs experiencing chronic pain may show subtle signs including changes in movement, posture, behaviour, performance, or sleep.

Because chronic pain is multifactorial, support often involves a multidisciplinary approach to help improve comfort, mobility, function, and quality of life; and this is where a Galen Myotherapist is an invaluable member of your dog’s team.

CAM Chronic Pain Symposium 2026
How are you spending your weekend?

“Halley has had the best sleep she’s had in a long time this afternoon so whatever you did today has allowed her to switch off and relax for a wee bit which is nice to see“
Feedback like this is always lovely to receive. But this was especially wonderful because Halley has really been struggling to cope with life recently.
Chronic pain can completely alter how your dog is able to cope with the world.
Changes in behaviour
Restlessness
Inability to settle
Noise sensitivity
Over stimulation
Are just some of the signs that you might notice.

So important to try & reduce unnecessary injuries from slippery surfaces

Galen Myotherapy Holiday Guide: Supporting Canine Movement and Myofascial Health

When you are away from home, you can’t always choose the furniture or flooring. So slippery floors could be an issue, especially if your dog is used to having rugs and carpet to walk on.

As a temporary measure you could put down something like a yoga mat which will provide some traction and can be easily transported.
