Galen Canine Myotherapist

Galen Myotherapy is a manual therapy specialising in soft tissue health. It uses targeted clinical massage techniques and rehabilitation exercises to treat chronic muscle pain and enhance mobility in dogs experiencing musculoskeletal issues. This makes it particularly potent in managing chronic conditions that impact mobility, such as osteoarthritis, but also for dogs recovering from injury or surgery. However, it's not just for those with diagnosed conditions, Galen Myotherapy can optimise muscle function to help active, working and sport dogs stay healthy, pain free and performing at their peak for as long as possible.

Therapists analyse your dogs posture and gait and use their understanding of biomechanics to identify areas of concern. We treat the muscular health of the whole dog, understanding that an issue in one area impacts other parts of the body through a compensatory response and thus it is important to treat the whole body.

Positive Pact-

choice-led treatment

Galen Myotherapists work according a set of guiding principles called Positive Pact. We value a dog's right to choose to engage with treatment and place this at the core of what we do. As such, your dog will never be restrained during treatment, and is free to move around, leave the treatment area and return. Therapists are skilled in observing and understanding canine communication and behaviour, and great emphasis is placed on the agency of the dog and building a relationship of trust. All treatments take place on the floor or on a low level where your dog is most comfortable.
