Service Description

This full-length session offers a whole-body, integrative approach to canine wellness, addressing the musculoskeletal, fascial, nervous, and energetic systems in a calm, dog-led manner. Sessions are intentionally paced, allowing time for assessment, regulation, and tissue response. Techniques are selected based on your dog’s individual needs, comfort level, and stage of life—never forced, rushed, or applied uniformly. Each session may include: 🐾 Neurovascular Release (NVR) To support nerve root function, dermatome integrity, circulation, and communication between the nervous system and surrounding tissues. 🐾 Myofascial Release (MFR) To improve the health, hydration, and adaptability of fascia—the body’s most interconnected and influential organ—helping reduce restriction and chronic holding patterns. 🐾 Swedish Massage Techniques Applied to muscles to improve tissue health, encourage circulation, and reduce trigger points (commonly known as “knots”) that contribute to pain and altered movement. 🐾 Rehabilitation Massage Techniques Used to support recovery from injury or surgery, address compensation patterns, reduce pain and inflammation, enhance immune response, and improve overall circulation. 🐾 Craniosacral Therapy A gentle, hands-on approach that supports alignment and balance of the musculoskeletal and nervous systems without force, helping the body self-regulate and release tension. 🐾 Acupressure (Traditional Chinese Medicine) Selected points may be used to promote relaxation, support immunity, ease discomfort, improve digestion, and encourage systemic balance. Why Professional Bodywork Matters? 🐾 Dogs respond more deeply to professional bodywork than humans—their nervous systems are highly receptive, and their tissues adapt quickly to skilled, intentional touch. 🐾 Tension and compensation often show up in the body long before pain, limping, or behaviour changes are obvious. 🐾 Regular bodywork can help prevent minor issues from becoming chronic pain, mobility loss, or injuries that may lead to costly vet visits. 🐾 Bodywork supports comfort, mobility, circulation, and resilience as dogs age or stay active. 🐾 This isn’t pampering—it’s proactive care that helps protect your dog’s comfort, longevity, and quality of life.
