GUIDED MOVEMENT + HANDS-ON BODYWORK
MOVE + MASSAGE
Strength • Mobility • Hands-On Recovery
Bodywork helps create better movement.
Strengthening helps the body keep it.
Guided movement and individualized canine bodywork in one adaptable session. Depending on your dog's goals and capacity that day, Erin may spend more time on strengthening and balance - or more time on massage, fascial work and recovery support.
Your dog’s movement, comfort, energy and response that day guide the session.
