How I work

Welcome to my holistic dog therapy services! I focus on bringing your dog back into balance by looking beyond their physical body.

Whether you prefer a visit to your home or a serene treatment in my treatment room in my garden, my goal is to create a relaxing experience for both you and your dog.

I start by assessing your dog's movement and posture, followed by checking their skeletal system and joint mobility, all while allowing them the freedom to engage with the massage at their own pace. Let's build trust and enhance your dog's well-being together!

Photobiomodulation Therapy (light therapy)

I do Photobiomodulation Therapy using a Photizo Light Therapy Device. I use light therapy in my treatments to help the body heal faster, it is a no-invasive treatment to help acute & chronic conditions.

Light therapy can accelerate healing giving faster recovery from injury & can be used as a pain management tool to ease degenerative conditions like arthritis.

Light therapy is proven to help:

•Increase energy in cells.

•Clears inflammation & increases lymphatic activity.

•Increases circulation.

•Increases immune system activity.

•Pain relief & calming by increasing endorphins & serotonin.

Kinesology Taping

Kinesiology taping has been used successfully on humans for many years, and it has now proven to be successful in treating animals too.

Kinesiology tape moves wth the tissue without restricting range of movement, and it can activate or relax a muscle depending on the application. It can also give support to joints without movement restriction.

Kinesiology tape helps the healing process after a massage where there are soft tissue lesions, and the tape allows a certain amount of light movement to help with healing.

I sometimes use equipment for proprioception work, which can help paw placement and body awareness, as this will help the body receive input through receptors in the paws, muscles, and joints and transfer this information to the brain through the nervous system so that the body can sense itself. I teach core & strengthing by encouraging exercises to engage the abdominal muscles and exercises to help with forelimb and hindlimb movement. These exercises can help reduce the risk of injury.
