Hello!

You're here because you understand the deep bond you share with your furry companion, and so do I. You’ve witnessed how important it is to support their mobility and wellbeing, especially as they age or face health challenges. You care for your pet as if they are family, wanting only the best for them. That’s why you’re exploring alternative therapies, like massage, to enhance their quality of life and comfort.

Massage therapy can play a pivotal role in improving your pet's mobility. It alleviates pain, reduces muscle tension, and increases circulation, which can be especially beneficial for pets recovering from injuries or managing chronic conditions. Your commitment to finding the best options reflects a loving and thoughtful approach, aiming to ensure your pet lives their happiest, healthiest life possible.

I share that same passion for animal wellbeing. As a Certified Canine Remedial Massage Therapist and Vet Nurse of 10 years, I utilise a range of techniques tailored to your pet's individual needs, all focused on their comfort and mobility journey. Together, we can make a positive impact on their life, ensuring they feel cherished and supported every step of the way.

And welcome to my corner of the animal world, where caring for your precious pet is my PASSION!

Welcome again, to Pet Bodyworx.

  • Cruciate ligament injury in dogs occurs when the ligament that stabilizes the knee joint is torn or ruptured, leading to pain, lameness, and difficulty walking. Surgery, often involving ligament replacement techniques like TPLO or TTA, is typically recommended to restore stability and improve mobility in affected dogs. Massage/manual therapies are highly recommended as part of the surgical recovery.

  • Osteoarthritis in dogs and cats is a degenerative joint disease that causes pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility due to the breakdown of cartilage in the joints. It is common in older animals or those with joint injuries, leading to discomfort and difficulty in movement.

  • HIP DYSPLASIA: Is a genetic condition where the hip joint doesn’t develop properly, leading to joint instability, pain, and arthritis. It is most common in larger breeds and can be managed with weight control, pain relief, and, in severe cases, surgical intervention.

    ELBOW DYSPLASIA: Is a genetic condition where the bones in the elbow joint don't fit together properly, causing joint instability, pain, and arthritis. It commonly affects larger dog breeds and may require treatments ranging from medication and physical therapy to surgery for severe cases.

  • A condition affecting the lower spine and the area where the spine meets the pelvis, causing pain, weakness, and difficulty moving. It often results from degeneration of the discs or joints in this region, and treatment may involve medication, physical therapy, or surgery in severe cases.

  • Intervertebral Disc Disease (IVDD) in dogs occurs when the discs between the vertebrae in the spine degenerate or herniate, pressing on the spinal cord and causing pain, weakness, or paralysis. It is most common in certain breeds, like Dachshunds, and treatment can range from conservative management to surgery, depending on the severity.

  • Shoulder instability in dogs occurs when the shoulder joint is not properly stabilized, often due to ligament damage or developmental issues, leading to pain and difficulty moving the limb. It can be caused by injury or congenital factors and may require treatments such as physical therapy, medication, or surgery to restore function.

  • Muscle sprains and strains in dogs, particularly in sporting breeds, occur when the muscles or tendons are overstretched or torn, often due to sudden movements or excessive activity. These injuries can cause pain, swelling, and lameness, and may require rest, physical therapy, and gradual return to activity for full recovery.

  • Massage therapy is beneficial for dogs and cats with limb amputations as it helps improve circulation, reduce muscle stiffness, and alleviate pain in the remaining limbs. It also promotes relaxation, improves flexibility, and aids in the overall rehabilitation process, helping animals adjust to their new physical condition.
