Dog massage is great for all ages and all types of dogs. For young dogs it helps them learn to be comfortable being touched. This can help with grooming and socialization. For mid-age active dogs it helps to alleviate muscle strain from jumping, running and everyday play. For older dogs it helps relieve joint stiffness, arthritis and other ailments that come as they get older. Every massage is catered to your dog’s needs and well-being. Whether a toy breed or a large breed, young or old. Your dog will receive a customized massage just for him or her. 

Canine Myofunctional Therapy

Canine Myofunctional Therapy (CMT) is a massage therapy aimed at delivering the well-known benefits of massage to our canine companions. Canine Myofunctional Therapists use a combination of massage techniques and stretches to assist dogs in overcoming musculoskeletal and other disorders as well as optimising your dog's health and improving their quality of life. CMT has a variety of benefits for your dog and your dog doesn't need to be unhealthy to benefit. It can provide a fantastic form of drug free pain relief.
