Pawsitivity - Canine Massage & Rehabilitation Therapy

12/08/2026

Temperatures for tomorrow morning folks (East Yorkshire).

If you have an older dog, a puppy, a brachycephalic (short nose) breed or any dog with a health condition then don’t take them out at all!

Any other dog needs to have been walked well before 8am.

Missing a walk won’t kill them but walking them in hot temperatures could!

Love learning more through my registration with the IAAT. I commit to a minimum of 25hrs of CPD each year. Today I completed the ‘Introduction to Fascia - Canine’

Cute Clover had her maintenance massage today and benefitted from some fascia release in her neck. Love seeing Clover and all the border terrier gang 😍

Get yourselves and your pooches along to this great event in September! I will be there with a small stand to provide information and answer any questions you have about canine massage therapy.

*I am unable to provide massages on the day as vet consent is required and it will be a very busy environment. I am able to offer a free muscle health check on request.

Beau very kindly let me practise some new fascia techniques that I have been learning. I’m always continuing to learn new things as part of my continued professional development as a registered member of the IAAT. Releasing fascia can look passive but when you watch the dog release that tension (even if very subtly) it’s a wonderful thing.

Such a pleasure to see Sven again this week for his maintenance massage. 🥰

It is not a ‘pamper’…

Myth: "Integrative therapies like hydrotherapy or clinical massage are just optional 'luxury spa treatments' for dogs."

THE FACT: They are essential, evidence-backed medical interventions. Arthritis may begin in a single joint, but it quickly becomes a whole-body disease. Because dogs naturally alter their posture and movement patterns to shift weight away from chronic pain, they develop severe secondary muscle soreness, tension, and joint stiffness elsewhere.

The Takeaway: Physical therapies don't just pamper a companion; they actively manage this compensatory pain, improve lubricating joint fluid movement, and safely preserve functional range of motion to slow down structural declines.

Beau- tiful boy 🥰. Thoroughly enjoyed his maintenance massage and red light therapy earlier this week.

Any questions on how massage and red light therapy can help your dog, get in touch.
