About the therapist
I’m Jen and I run Edinburgh Clinical Canine Massage. My clinic is based at Barnton, in the west of the city. I also offer home visits across the Lothians, Fife, the Scottish Borders and Glasgow.
I live with my two greyhounds, Star and Mimi. I have lived with dogs for most of my life, and have adopted a number of elderly rescue dogs with age related health conditions and mobility issues. It was while searching for complimentary therapies to help my own dogs that I came across clinical canine massage. As a runner, I go for regular massages myself and know first-hand the relief from pain and improved mobility that massage can provide. It made perfect sense to me that, if massage worked for me, it could also work for my dogs; and it did!
I trained with the Canine Massage Therapy Centre for two years, completing the Clinical Canine Massage Practitioner Programme. I am trained in the Lenton Method®, which has been clinically proven to provide benefit, with an efficacy rate of over 95%. I have advanced knowledge of canine anatomy and physiology, and specialise in four disciplines of massage: Swedish, deep tissue, sports massage and myofascial release.
I provide a holistic approach to each treatment, combining massage and myofascial release techniques with gait analysis and advanced palpation skills, to rehabilitate soft tissue injury commonly seen as lameness, limping or slowing down, and to help provide chronic pain management for orthopaedic conditions like arthritis, hip dysplasia and spondylosis.
My goal, as a clinical canine massage therapist, is to help your dog to live a happy healthy life, by reducing chronic pain and improving mobility.
If you would like to know more about how massage could help your dog, please get in touch – I’d be happy to help.

£40 per session. Sessions are 50-60 minutes, thought the initial session will take up to 90 minutes.
Client Comments
Prior to the sessions Ruby had an intermittent limp, worse after longish walks and was very stiff when getting up after sleeping. After the first session I noticed an improvement. After the second session she was moving much more freely and could see no evidence of a limp, even after a long walk, and there is no more sign of stiffness either.

Jen was amazing with Simba… I saw a massive benefit with Simba. He was quite slow before the massages but now he is running around like a puppy again! I’m amazed at how beneficial it’s been.
Gemma, Polmont
Spencer was quite stiff when going up or down steps, hesitant when getting up on the sofa or bed, and was protecting his back legs/hips when playing. After the second and third sessions, his mobility improved, hopping onto the sofa with ease, and on and off the garden wall – not encouraged!
Mollie, Haddington
Jen was great with Elvis. She picked up on all his cues as to when he wanted a break from treatment. Since his massage treatments began, he’s been more actively seeking out petting from my partner and I, and more ready to engage in playful wrestling with local dog pals. After the most recent session I’ve not seen any further ‘Schnauzer hops’.
