Disabled Dogs


If your dog is tripawd, on wheels, living with a mobility issue or neurological deficit then canine massage therapy can really help their quality of life.

Areas of overcompensation altered gait, persistent limping or over stress on an area cause a myriad of muscular issues that often leads to the worsening of a condition. This is because the muscles work harder to protective the non-affected areas that are overcompensating for the mobility issue.

Conditions massage can help with:

  • Tripawds or amputees

  • CDRM (chronic degenerative radiculomyelopathy)

  • Immobilisation of a limb due to injury

  • Neurological disorders or deficits

  • Chronic orthopaedic conditions

  • Long term non-invasive care

How massage can help:

  • Improve balance and co-ordination

  • Provide pain management, bring comfort and relief naturally

  • Strengthen muscles by reducing restrictive trigger points

  • Improve range of motion (ROM)

  • Relieve areas of referred pain

  • Address areas of overcompensation

  • Aid in the recovery or improvement of normal movement

  • Aid in proprioception and body awareness

  • Reduce anxiety associated with pain.
