Initial Consultation
Session time 45-60 minutes
Initial assessment includes full history of your dog, a full dynamic and static assessment, and a first massage. Each bodywork session will be specifically designed to target the areas that most affect your canine companion using any of the modalities that I think will benefit them the most. If indicated, I will leave you with exercises and stretches to work on with your dog between appointments in order to keep them feeling their best and continue the benefits and build on each bodywork session.
To establish this professional relationship, owner presence is required.

"Kinesio" Taping
Kinesiology taping is a well used resource in both human and animal applications for the quick and natural reduction of pain sensation. “K tape” works by stimulating mechanoreceptors on the nerve endings to reduce the action of nociceptors (pain response). Benefits include improved lymph and blood circulation, reduced inflammation, improved proprioception, supports joint and muscle during injury recovery,
This method is based on individual need and may not be indicated for all patients.

Craniosacral Therapy
Craniosacral therapy is a form of gentle massage designed to release tension in the fascia, a connective tissue network in the body. The treatment works by improving cerebrospinal fluid circulation and manipulating body rhythms within the nervous system.
The therapy aims to alleviate compression on the bones in the lower back, head, and spinal column. Typically, this type of therapy can aide in pain relief, lowered stress, and improved overall well-being.

Shiatsu/ Energy healing
Shiatsu is a manual therapy that uses finger and thumb pressure on acupuncture points along the meridians in order to free restrictions in the body. This pressure along the meridians, together with assisted stretching, joint mobilization and massage, allows the body to release pain and tension gently adjusting both posture and attitude. Based in the principles of Oriental Medicine, a particular strength of Shiatsu is that it looks to find and treat the underlying causes of dysfunction and not just the symptoms. Oriental theory, in-depth knowledge of anatomy, physiology and pathology, together with a well developed sensitivity of touch makes Shiatsu an effective therapeutic aid to overall health.
