MOVE + MASSAGE
Strength • Mobility • Hands-On Recovery

MOVE + MASSAGE combines individualized movement and guided exercises to promote balance,  strength, proprioception and mobility work AND professional canine massage and multimodal bodywork to improve muscle tone and fascial glide into one integrated session that's either 75 or 100 minutes - depending on your dog's needs and level of fitness.

 

There is no fixed exercise-to-massage ratio. Some dogs may benefit from a longer strengthening block followed by targeted soft-tissue work. Others may need only a few carefully selected exercises before spending most of the session receiving hands-on soft tissue care.

Your dog’s movement, comfort, energy and response that day guide the session.

More Than Exercise. More Than Massage.

MOVE + MASSAGE is designed around the relationship between how a dog moves and how their body feels while doing it.

​​

Controlled movement helps reveal strength, balance, confidence, coordination and compensatory patterns.

 

Hands-on bodywork and massage can then be directed toward the muscles, fascia and other soft tissues being asked to work harder.

Each 75-min or 100-min session includes a combination of:

  • reassessment & progress checking

  • strengthening 

  • balance work

  • proprioception work 

  • massage and bodywork to ensure your dog's musculoskeletal system including muscle, fascia, and soft tissues are working without common adhesions, tender points, and/or more irritating trigger points.

Each session is tailored specific to your dog's unique needs.

The goal is not to make every dog perform the same exercises or receive the same treatment.

The goal is to give each dog the right combination of movement and recovery support.

WHAT SOUL PAWS CLIENTS SAY

Neil Alexander - Vancouver

"My dog has never been happier or healthier since starting with Soul Paws. Actually, I was so hesitant to start because I thought my dog wouldn't like it. Boy was I wrong. It started out weekly, then bi-weekly and now monthly. He looks forward and jumps on his bed, tail wagging the whole way ready for Erin. The difference in his mobility is truly astounding. We were so worried about his hip dysplasia progressing, but instead the opposite has happened and the hip muscles that were borderline atrophied 3 months ago are now getting stronger and we're avoiding surgery! It's a non-invasive way to support his joints! I honestly cannot recommend Erin enough!"
