What soft tissue issues may cause what I’m seeing?

Strains - a tear to the muscle and the most common muscular injury; can occur at any age

Trigger Points – Hyperirritable bands in the tissue that cause referred and local pain

Myofascial Pain – a chronic pain disorder caused by connective tissue restrictions which surround nerves

Overcompensation – weight shifting from areas of injury or arthritis which create new areas of painful tension

Protective Muscle Splinting – commonly associated with the muscle having to work too hard due to orthopedic issues eg: Hip / Elbow Dysplasia

How can Clinical Canine Massage help?

I use 4 disciplines of massage and the Lenton Method™ of advanced myofascial release to achieve results in just 1-3 sessions

Used for pain management and rehabilitation of soft tissue injury and issue

Resolves or significantly reduces myofascial pain and trigger points

Aids in the rehabilitation of debilitating Strains by giving the muscle back its natural flexibility

Produces amazing results for dogs with orthopaedic issues like Arthritis and Hip Displasia by directly addressing protective muscle splinting

I will work with you to create a home care plan and help you understand what may be causing or exacerbating the issue so your dog reaps long term benefits
