It is a gentle and non-invasive treatment for soft tissue, using massage techniques that can help to reduce the symptoms of ageing, increase flexibility, influence recovery from injury, ease pain and enhance rehabilitation.

Galen Myotherapy can help a dog to recover from
an injury/ illness, as well as relieve the secondary effects of arthritis or improve a dog’s general
fitness and performance. It can also tangibly
support and/or manage conditions, such as: Hip dysplasia, CDRM, cruciate issues, post trauma or following an accident, after an operation or if they have OCD or elbow dysplasia, and much more.

Galen Myotherapy® influences connective tissues and joints which improves flexibility as well as reduce muscular tension and soreness to increase mobility. It provides a hands on check on a muscular condition, can reduce swelling and scarring and anticipates potential problems.

This technique also effectively removes metabolic waste products, gives holistic improvement by enhancing blood circulation and lymph drainage and induces relaxation by modulating the heart rate and respiration.

For treatment we ask you to bring your dog to one of our therapy centers*. We would then initially assess the dog and identify the areas which require attention. As the owner, you will be included every step of the way and informed throughout the process so that you too can have an understanding of your dog and its physical requirements and given specific instruction how you can help when home.

*Exceptions are sometimes made for older dogs who are unable to travel and home visits organised.

Charges for a consultation and treatment are £40 plus travel costs if location is more than 15 miles from the nearest Galen Therapy Centre, click here to find your nearest practitioner.

Here at Galen we also offer a number of workshops for owners and their dogs so that you can practice the massage techniques at home, as well as learn about other topics, such as, first aid. Click here for details on all of our courses.

Galen Myotherapy® does not replace veterinary medicine, or act as a diagnostic tool. Your veterinary surgeon will be consulted prior to any therapy. You should consult your veterinary surgeon with specific questions and for a diagnosis of your animal’s health.
