yogi, GSD, arthritis, canine massage“Your Clinical Canine Massage sessions were a real help to Yogi our 11 year old GSD, in relieving his arthritis. He always felt so much better afterwards, and was much freer in his movement. It was lovely to see him so relaxed and just having some special attention, just for him.”

Maggie, our 13-year-old Collie, was suffering with stiffness due to arthritis. Clinical Canine Massage came highly recommended from a very satisfied client. From our first session the difference was apparent, both physical and mentally, giving Maggie a new lease of life. #collie #olderdog #arthritis

Bunty, whippet, arthritisAfter an operation last year, Bunty is now suffering with arthritis. She was in so much pain we thought we may lose her. However, with pain relief and regular Clinical Canine Massage sessions she is leading a very happy life. The sessions have been so beneficial that the vet is hoping to reduce her pain medication. Even though her arthritis will never go away her Canine Massage sessions are allowing her to lead a very happy life.

Barney has both elbow and hip dysplasia along with arthritis. He’s a typical spaniel but massage helps every time and calms him to the point of sleeping. The monthly massages have really benefited Barney.

Ashkii, Newfoundland, Stiffness, Arthritis, Older DogSince a Guild Therapist has been seeing our 8-year-old Newfoundland boy, Ashkii, who has arthritis, we have noticed huge improvements in his gait. He is far less stiff and he is much happier in himself. We have not needed any pain relief for him for the past few months. I would highly recommend Clinical Canine Massage. Ash adores her and looks forward to his massage. #newfoundland #arthritis #olderdog

My 18-year-old Miniature Schnauzer suffers from arthritis. Hector’s tummy can’t tolerate pain medication, so we are really thankful that we came across Clinical Canine Massage! He loves the treatment and afterwards it’s much easier for him to get up after lying down. He relies on his monthly Clinical Canine Massage to keep him comfortable. It’s a must for any old dog who needs a new lease of life! #schnauzer #olderdog #arthritis

Bramble my 3yr old Cockapoo suffers from hip dysplasia and arthritis. He is unable to weight bear evenly, causing him discomfort which makes him grumpy. After just 3 sessions he was walking much better and appeared far happier. This has been the best treatment for him.

My dog, Cassie, is 11 years old and gets very sore as a result of osteoarthritis. Normally very protective of her painful spots, Cassie trusts her Guild Therapist implicitly and, amazingly, actually presents her sore shoulder for treatment!” #arthritis #olderdog

My dog, Amos, was very old and in pain due to severe arthritis. Our Guild therapist worked gently, slowly and carefully around his conditions, and so from the start Amos trusted her. My only regret is that we didn’t find out about Clinical Canine Massage sooner.

When he first visited our Guild Therapist, JJ was an arthritic 12-year-old Labrador (now nearing 14). He was clearly uncomfortable when exercising, despite painkillers. He has found Clinical Canine Massage extremely beneficial, he has far more freedom in his movement and he absolutely loves the actual massage. #labrador #arthritis

Ash is a 12-year-old Greyhound with arthritis and a poor appetite. He’s unbalanced and wobbly but right from the first session of Clinical Canine Massage, Ash had an improved appetite and was less stiff and hasn’t fallen over, which he used to regularly. #Greyhound, #Arthritis, #Stiffness

Winston our 12-year-old black Labrador has arthritis and was struggling to walk. Now, after Clinical Canine Massage, he is moving more easily and he’s more agile. Clinical Canine Massage definitely helped him and I recommend it to all dog-owners.

Our Labrador, Millie, has been on strong pain medication for osteoarthritis and she can act very strangely at times. After three sessions of Clinical Canine Massage, the whole family noticed how much younger she appeared, and how she was playing with other dogs again. Her strange behaviour has stopped, and we’ve got our Millie back! #labrador #arthritis

Vader, my 13-year-old English Springer Spaniel, suffered with such awful osteoarthritis for many years, he needed many strong painkillers. After a couple of sessions of Clinical Canine Massage Therapy he was moving so much better. Now he has regular sessions and doesn’t need so many painkillers. He absolutely loves his treatment. #spaniel #arthritis #olderdog

Clinical Canine Massage for Senior Dogs

Clinical Canine Massage for Senior Dogs

Clinical canine massage for senior dogs has lots of benefits. A dog is classed as senior from around the age of nine (depending on size and breed). As your dog matures, the repetitive, normal activities of daily living (ADLs), such as walking, running and playing start to take their toll on the body. This impacts muscles and joints and results in reduced mobility and flexibility.
