About the Therapist:
I’m Catriona Dickson, owner of K9 Massage Clinic based in Central Scotland. I hold regular clinics in Coupar Angus and Forfar, serving clients from as far afield as Glasgow, Edinburgh, Dundee, St Andrews and Aberdeen.
I have been a full-time Clinical Canine Massage therapist since 2013 after studying for two years with the world renowned Natalie Lenton at the Canine Massage Therapy Centre.
During your dog’s treatments I will be using advanced palpation skills, testing individual muscles, tendons and joints feeling for strains, painful trigger points, myofascial pain and restrictions.
I will be applying advanced canine anatomy and physiology, gait analysis and techniques from the 4 main styles of massage: Swedish, Sports Massage, Deep Tissue and Myofascial Release.
My aim will be to increase your dog’s range of motion and mobility, reduce their pain levels and improve their overall happiness and quality of life.
Clinical Canine Massage can also produce amazing results with orthopaedic conditions such as: Arthritis, Hip Dysplasia, Luxating Patella, Spondylosis, Elbow Dysplasia and Cruciate Ligament Damage. It works by releasing tension, improving flexibilty and rehabilitating areas of overcompensation.
Over the years I have done a lot of additional CPD as part of my membership including:
• Live Dissection of Dog
• Canine Conditioning Instructor Programme
• Workshop Instructor Programme
• Manual Lymphatic Drainage
• Advanced Trigger Points
• Ventral Aspect Myofascial Releases
• Facilitated Stretches
• Jing Advanced Massage Training – for humans
• Zoopharmacognosy – animal self-selection of herbs and botanicals
I also run 1 day workshops where you can learn to massage your own dog:

Testimonials
“It’s wonderful to see my pal Sierra smiling again when we walk! What a dramatic improvement in 3 weeks. Thanks a million Catriona!”
Rosalind Srivastava, Dunbar
“Canine Massage has worked wonders on my Brodie. She has torn her cruciate. Before the massage she was old and grumpy and now she is loving and keen to go for a walk again, a great improvement. I thought those days were gone forever.”
