Bodywork

CANINE BODYWORK  provides a holistic and integrative hands-on approach to enhance your dog’s comfort and overall health. Following a thorough evaluation by your veterinarian, we will work together to determine the most effective methods to meet your dog’s specific needs.

DEEP TISSUE MASSAGE uses deliberate strokes and targeted pressure to address the deeper layers of muscles and connective tissues. This technique is designed to release tension and tightness, providing benefits to the entire body. By promoting balance and aligning muscles with joints, it improves mobility and stabilizes gaits, enhancing overall movement and well-being.

TRIGGER POINT THERAPY targets hyper-irritable knots that develop in muscles due to strain. By applying focused pressure, this technique releases tension from spasms and discomfort, allowing the muscle to function normally.

MYOFASCIAL RELEASE  involves gentle stretching techniques to alleviate skeletal muscle immobility caused by physical injuries, illness, or emotional stress. These factors can cause the body’s fascia—a fluid-filled network that surrounds and supports organs, muscles, and bones—to become tight and restricted.  Myofascial release is particularly beneficial for sedentary, elderly, or recovering dogs, as it relieves tension, enhances circulation, and promotes improved mobility.

EXERCISE THERAPY  is vital for maintaining proper body system functions and overall well-being. Movement not only supports physical health but also boosts happiness. All dogs benefit from the mental stimulation provided by new scents, environments, and experiences. Tailored, appropriate exercise is essential to promote your dog’s health, enhance their quality of life, and support their longevity.
