About the service

What Is Canine Massage Therapy

Canine massage therapy is soft tissue massage and mobilisation to help the body with areas of compensation from injury, old ago or from surgery. By increasing flexibility of tissues this can help increase blood flow, remove toxic waste and increase the lymphatic system.

Is it right for your dog?

When Does Your Dog Need Massage therpy

Sooner than you'd think, honestly. If your dog has had surgery, getting physio and massage started in the first couple of weeks makes a massive difference to how well they recover.

It's not all about surgery though. If your dog is getting slower on walks or takes a while to get going in the mornings, that's worth looking into. Same with stiffness after exercise. Keeping on top of their muscle balance and catching niggles early stops small things turning into big problems. Older dogs especially benefit from regular sessions. It's not about fixing something that's broken, it's about keeping them comfortable for longer.

This package is designed to provide structured, progressive support over three sessions, helping your dog recover safely while building strength and improving movement. Real change doesn't happen in just one session — it takes consistency, support, and a structured approach to achieve the best results.

Initial Assessment & Treatment

Up to 60 minutes

Your first session focuses on a full gait and musculoskeletal assessment, allowing us to understand your dog's condition, movement patterns, and areas of concern. We begin hands-on treatment and start implementing appropriate exercises, followed by a personalised rehabilitation plan tailored specifically to your dog.

You will be guided through exercises to carry out at home, helping to support progress between sessions and maximise results. Each programme is tailored to your dog's specific needs and recovery stage.

You will have continued support between sessions, ensuring you feel confident carrying out your dog's rehabilitation plan and can ask any questions as you go. You're never on your own.

2 Follow-Up Sessions

Up to 45–60 minutes each

These sessions are designed to progress your dog's rehabilitation, build strength, and adapt the treatment plan as your dog improves. We reassess, treat, and progress exercises to ensure continued improvement and long-term results.

Getting Started

What's Involved in Getting Started?

It's really simple. If your dog has already been diagnosed with something, whether that's post surgery or a condition your vet has confirmed, your vet just fills in a referral form and sends it over to me. If you're not sure and just want to find out whether physio could help, you can contact me directly. I'll sort out the vet consent side of things for you, it's not something you need to worry about.

First appointment is a proper assessment. I look at how your dog walks, their posture, where they're holding tension, muscle tone, all of it. Then I build a treatment plan from there and give you a home exercise programme to work through between sessions. My clinic is in Rosudgeon near Penzance, I also see dogs at Bodmin Vets4Pets every other Wednesday, and if your dog can't travel then home visits are available across Cornwall too.
