What is Clinical Canine Massage?

This unique, strong, manipulative Clinical Massage for dogs works by releasing tight, sore muscles, removing debilitating ‘Knots’ or Trigger Points that cause referred pain. Massage helps rehabilitate injuries by breaking down restrictive scar tissue caused by daily activities that may be responsible for your dog’s discomfort. It can help to resolve many day to day mobility issues whether they have suddenly come on or have been there for while. Getting your dog therapeutically treated by a Member of the Canine Massage Guild is a must for any dog owner concerned with their dog’s mobility and health. It can help give you answers for what you are seeing with your dog and importantly then do something about it with an hour of hands on therapy, with results in just 1-3 sessions. It’s also natural form of pain relief that can help to resolve soft tissue or muscular problems and helps support orthopaedic issues like Arthritis and Hip Dysplasia with tangible results.

I work in accordance with the Veterinary Surgeons Act 1966 and Veterinary Surgeons Exemption Order 2015, meaning it is a legal requirement for vet consent to be obtained before any work is done on an animal.

The vet consent form allows me to obtain crucial information on any issues your dog may have or have had in the past and highlight any contraindications to massage.

I will not go forward with treatment until I have a vet consent form.
