As Galen Myotherapists we don’t just assess gait/movement we assess posture and soft tissue health as well. So much can be found when looking at posture/static positions that may not be picked up if we only assessed gait Why do we assess posture when treating dogs with Galen Myotherapy?
Posture can provide valuable insight into how a dog is using their body. Such as subtle changes in weight distribution, stance, muscle development, may indicate compensation patterns, areas of discomfort, or myofascial dysfunction.
Dogs will often adapt their posture to avoid pain or protect an area of weakness, sometimes long before obvious lameness is seen.
By assessing posture alongside movement and soft tissue health, a Galen Myotherapist can build a clearer picture of your dog’s musculoskeletal/myofascial function and tailor treatment to support comfort, mobility, and overall wellbeing.
