Your Dog's Treatment Session
My approach to massage treatment is calm, patient and sensitive to your dog’s needs, whilst working purposefully to achieve positive results for your dog’s overall well-being.
Your dog’s first treatment session starts with an assessment of the condition of your dog’s body through:
-
Posture analysis
-
Gait analysis
-
Health and lifestyle consultation
-
Palpation (hands-on check) of your dog’s muscles and other soft tissues
Your dog will then receive a full body massage treatment (as appropriate) focussing on relieving areas of restriction such as trigger points (muscle knots), scar tissue and adhered fascia, which may be causing your dog pain, discomfort and / or reduced mobility.
Follow-up appointments focus primarily on the hands-on massage treatment.
What clients say
"When we first met Sara I thought my dear old lab was literally on his last legs. The vet had been unable to reassure me of any improvement. Henry was limping badly and generally out of sorts despite daily medication. Sara's fantastic massage technique soon has Henry enjoying a blissful state of complete relaxation and freedom from discomfort. A course of treatments is keeping muscle stiffness at bay, ironing out all the creases, increasing his mobility and much improving his general well-being. Not only has Sara lifted Henry's spirits but mine also. Her home visits are so convenient and much looked forward to by us both. Sara has also given us much advice on ways in which we can help our arthritic dog continue to enjoy a good life - we only wish we had met her years ago."
