Young ROVERs
Basic massage techniques can be included in your puppy’s everyday routine to get him used to being
touched all over – especially his mouth, head and paws.  I am happy to teach owners these techniques.

Middle of the road ROVERs
Starting to feel a few aches?  Packing on the pounds?  Preferring the couch to the great outdoors?
Massage is a fantastic therapy to rejuvenate those sluggish muscles and stimulate circulation. 
Preventative health is better and cheaper for dogs as well as humans.  Use it or lose it!!

ROVER Rage
Does your dog have anxiety issues?  The calming, soothing experience of massage can help
reduce tension of mind as well as body.  I recommend that dogs with high stress level conditions
have a veterinary examination prior to massage to be sure there is not an underlying physical problem.

Rehab for ROVER
In liaison with your dog’s veterinarian, I can provide massage and movement exercises to aid recovery.  Treatment may include cold/warm therapy, PROM passive range of movement exercises, AROM active
range of movement exercises, advice regarding hydrotherapy.
Cruciate ligament injury, luxating patella (dislocating knee-cap), joint replacement etc

Senior ROVERs
As we get older, the body slows down and is not able to do all the things we could when younger.  The muscles can atrophy (shrink) if not being used, the joints can become arthritic or stiff and increased weight can create more discomfort.  Massage improves warmth & circulation to the tissues, and with increased
blood flow, oxygen and nutrients are transported in and the lymph system cleanses toxins out of the tissues.  PROM and gentle exercises can help improve mobility.  Weight management is important to reduce stress loading on joints.  Simple changes to lifestyle and home environment can help your dog feel more
comfortable – these are included in your aftercare advice.
